High school sweethearts Tess and Vinh tied the knot at Vintners Resort in Santa Rosa Ca. The beautiful Sonoma County afternoon was the perfect compliment to their excitement about finally being able to say I do! Vintners Resort offers so many classic wine country traits that make it a picture perfect venue. Grape vines, lavender, water fountains and sprawling lawns are just a few of the features you will find there.
Tess and Vinh had a large bridal party that brought a ton of love and laughs all day long! That love was felt by all, when they gifted their party with personalized presents. Who doesn't love monogramed cuff links?
By choosing to have a 1st look, they got to share a few quite minutes together before the ceremony. A moment to share and reflect on how the day is going so far. Tess had a note for Vinh to read before she tapped him on the shoulder, making him blush a little. In this moment nothing topped the way Tess gazed at Vinh. It made all of us smile, but none quite as bright as him.
I personally love when couples choose to have a 1st looks! Then we can take family photos before the ceremony, and everyone can go enjoy cocktail hour.
They absolutely nailed the classic glam old hollywood look!
Tess's mother walked her down the aisle to a smiling Vinh. Happy tears were shed by many, special blessings were read and cheers were shouted as the walked back down the aisle as a married couple. The ceremony was beautiful, tucked away on the grass courtyard overlooking the vineyard. After the ceremony guest were guided over the to the event center for specialized cocktails and yummy appetizers from John Ash restaurant, which is conveniently located on property.
After a private cake cutting we slipped away for a few sunset photos. (my favorite part of the day) The lighting was perfect and Tess and Vinh were excited to capture more portraits to document this special day!
The night ended with traditional dances and more fun moments with family and friends! Thank you Tess and Vinh for sharing your love story, I look forward to watching it grow!
