Jen + Chad | Healdsburg, CA

After Jill & I made it home from Las Vegas to catch up for a day, Dan and I headed up to the Healdsburg area to shoot some engagement photos of Jennifer & Chad.

They choose the beautiful venue of Ferrai Carano Winery for their session. After doing a bit of wine tasting, we moved on to another couple of locations to finish off the session in some friendlier surroundings. Here are some of the results....











Congratulations Jenn & Chad I look forward to your wedding!

Las Vegas

This year, Jill & I headed to Las Vegas on a girls' trip to WPPI....the annual wedding & portrait photographers convention. We had a great time, found some beautiful new products for our clients, reconnected with some old friends and made some new ones! Here are a few photos of us on one of our wild nights out:
