Christina and Michael’s wedding day at Casa Real Winery at Ruby Hill has finally arrived. It’s been over a year since I first met Christina and Michael and more than 10 months since I shot their engagement photos in Napa Valley. Christina and Michael’s storybook wedding took place at the gorgeous Casa Real Winery at Ruby Hill in Pleasanton, California. Being a Bay Area native, I always enjoy shooting weddings and events out in the beautiful wine country of California. As for the couple, Christina and Michael, this wedding took over a year of planning. They had special touches like up lighting in the elegant Casa Real Amber Room (where the ceremony took place), a rocking band playing, a solo harpist, a photo booth, and spotlighting displaying their names on the dance floor. But with all this careful planning, sometimes surprises make the day even more magical. Christina was pleasantly surprised by a beautiful heartfelt letter that Michael wrote to her to read before she put on her stunning Vera Wang wedding gown and very sexy gold glitter Christian Louboutin peep toe slingbacks shoes. Michael even recorded himself reading the letter to her while he writes the letter which is played back through the montage below. Enjoy!
