From Coast to Coast. Florida to California. Atlantic to Pacific.
For the first time in a long time, I was at a Wedding and NOT the photographer. One of my best friends got married in Napa Valley, California and I was asked be one of his groomsmen. It would have been a challenge to be IN the Wedding AND be the Photographer. I could have made it work, but they wanted me to kick back, relax and have FUN, which is exactly what I did. Here’s a shot of the bride and Groom (Jessica and Kevin) from my phone:
It was such a great weekend. Day one we took a ferry through the bay and into San Fransisco. What an awesome way to arrive in the city.. passing the Golden Gate and Alcatraz along the way. We dock at the Port of San Fransisco and hop out onto the streets. Grab some great food and hit up AT&T Park to watch a Giants game. The view from this stadium is really something, as the stadium sits right on the bay..
Back on the ferry, leaving San Fran at night…
Yes, the wine in the Valley is fantastic. but so was Beer! The step-father of the Bride, Wayne, brewed his own beer and it was fantastic! At the wedding reception, the beer in the kegs was his.. 3 different brews. Thank you again Wayne. I wish I could get have that in Florida.
While we’re on the subject of beer, I had a beer while having an amazing meal at Taqueria Maria in Napa, YUMMM!!!!. So good we went there twice! Highly recommended.
The Wedding was beautiful, the weather was awesome and the people were even better.. Kevin, congratulations again. I am so happy for you. I can’t wait to see you guys again.
