I just arrived in Vegas for a little break between California wedding weekends.
This past weekend was Peter and Jessica's Wedding on the Stolpman Vineyard up near Santa Barbara.
It was, of course, amazing.
You may or may not recall my last visit up here in the fall when we did Peter and Jess's engagement photos...well, since then, the villa has been completed.
And let me just say, if you happen to be engaged to be married. And you happen to own a vineyard. And you have the option of building a massive villa-mansion to host your epic wedding. DO THAT.
It was a beautiful and awesome wedding party. I dragged everyone up a hill on the vineyard to get this picture. The girls were NOT HAPPY to be walking up a dirt hill in their spike heels, but it was worth it.
The boys were wayyyyy too comfortable busting out feminine poses.

Funboys 2.0!
At the start of the ceremony, Peter walked down the aisle with his best friend, Baron.
The ceremony was in the backyard overlooking the vineyard. Stunning.
There was a super cute moment where Pete could not get Jessica's ring on.
These two are just adorable.
Since they both work in the wine business, and this wedding was all about wine. They ended the ceremony by drinking glasses of some super special $1500 bottle of wine after which they tossed the glasses out into the vineyard. It was so cute.
Congratulations guys!!!!
Crazy to think that this new villa is just the start of the rest of their lives. The future is SO bright.
Katie and Semmesey were present, of course. Love working a wedding when my besties are present!
The bridesmaids were a joy as well.
As the sun set, I noticed an incredible opportunity, so I ran and got the bride and groom. Dragged them out of the party and across the property under this tree on this barrel and staged this shot which I'm pretty proud of.
We LOVE sunset on a vineyard!
Oh...you want to see pictures of Funboys doing ladyposes?
OK.

Epic Rehearsal Dinner @ The Elms
I went to RI last weekend to photograph a beauuuuuutiful rehearsal dinner at The Elms, one of Newport's most incredible historic mansions.
Everyone asks why I didn't photograph the actual wedding. Well the reason is because I am friends with Abby, who is the sister of the groom. And the groom's side organizes the rehearsal. The bride and her family organized the wedding and didn't know about me.
The rehearsal was probably way prettier than the actual wedding anyway. I'm sure the pictures were. Oops! Sorry about it!
This house is EPIC.
The ballroom was faaaancy.
This is the main entrance.
Guests arrived in awe.
So pretty. The whole house was open for exploration. (I've toured it before.)
The welcome reception was held out on the terrace overlooking the back "yard" and ocean...
Abby was like, "What's the big deal? It's just grass."
LOVES a mansion party!
For dinner I had the short rib. MMMMMMMMM.
All the rooms of the house were so pretty.
Love those chandeliers!
Abby's dad gave a lovely speech.
And there was a slideshow.
And more speeches.
It was basically a wedding. Without all that silly ceremony stuff and a big white dress. And stress.
Better than a wedding.
And cupcakes!
Yeah...your wedding rehearsal probably was not/will not be like this...
The End.
