Jessica Claire and Jeff Norwood

Dang!! Thats all I have to say about Jessica Claire and Jeff Norwood’s stunning wedding. Being invited as the photographer to a photographers wedding is not new to me, but Jess and Jeffs wedding was a lot more pressure, mostly because there we so many other photographers there, I was feeling a little intimidated to be honest. The wedding was stunning with TONS of amazing details, Angel Swanson of Events of Love and Splendor did an incredible job! And the location.. was 3 stones in Napa.. crazy cool place.

  12. Graciete - This wedding is without doubt poetically beautiful in all its elements, including, most importantly, its essence and reason for being, but I have to offer you my most sincere compliments because you are most definitely an absolute master in rendering these sentiments & moments in to visual treasures and heirlooms... I can't deny that you're up there on my 'most wanted' list if I ever get round to finally making my 7 year old daughter's dream come true of getting myself married to her father!
