Maria and I are so excited to be shooting these guys' wedding. We met Michelle a couple years ago working on the Union Street Wedding Ring together and were instantly in awe of her!! And then we recently met Jody and were equally impressed!

So for their engagement shoot, Michelle was pretty set on NOT doing one of those stylized typewriter-in-the-field shoots, which we are of course always happy to hear since, if you hadn't noticed, that's not really our cup of tea. (read: "they kinda annoy us" :) But of course, no offense to our super talented photog friends who do them :)) We just tend to prefer to focus on the couple and whatever places or things might actually mean something to them. So you might be skimming ahead and going, "yeah, but you took these photos in a wine country vineyard- not exactly all that unique" . . . Except for the fact that it's Jody's vineyard- like honest-to-goodness his- passed down from grandparents, gets out there on the tractor everyday, dirty jeans, grows, harvests, the whole package! In addition to wine, they (Caspar Estate) also make their own honey and olive oil from their very own bees and olives! All of which we got to take home with us- score! And then they took us out to dinner on top of all that- I think we might have had a better date than they did! But they still look like they had a pretty good time- and Brody too!
