St. Helena Wedding by Tec Petaja Photography + Suzy Berberian Weddings

We could probably spend the rest of our days gazing at Tec Petaja’s beautiful images and never grow tired of a single one. Each tells a story and all laid out together, that tale is wildly romantic. It’s thoughtful details by Suzy Berberian Weddings & Events that redefine simple elegance. It’s a color palette so soft and organic it blends seamlessly with the landscape of St. Helena. It’s flowers crafted by Tesoro that look freshly picked from the garden. Simply put, it’s a stunner. See so much more right here. And sit tight because a bit later we have a film from Joel Serrato Films that will set your heart a pitter-pattering.

From Suzy of Suzy Berberian Weddings & EventsWhen Chris and Tara invited me to meet them at Chris’s family estate and winery – Long Meadow Ranch – to begin the planning process, I instantly understood their love for the place.  It was simply stunning. The property is 650 acres set high above Napa Valley, where the family farms and resides. The wedding day evolved into an amazing experience for the couple and their guests, with the wedding vows taking place on a landing overlooking the vineyards and valley floor. After the wedding, guests took a vineyard walk down to the winery for the cocktail hour, complete with charcuterie and an oyster-shucking station from Hog Island Oysters reminiscent of their first date: oysters and champagne at Tomales Bay.
