Kari and Chad’s Napa wedding is featured on Style Me Pretty today.

They are beautiful people inside and out – and their wedding replicated that!

Kari and Chad are pretty much the nicest, kindest, sweetest people I know. Almost to the point that you wonder if it’s real. Well, it is. They began dating 11 years ago in high school back in Ohio and just seem to have the most genuine, loving relationship.

Kari looked breath-taking – like a movie star. Chad was extremely dashing. They were married in an intimate outdoor ceremony at the gorgeous Villagio Inn in Yountville, California – the heart of Napa country. Dinner was at a long table under twinkling lights outside. It was so beautiful! This was definitely one of my favorite weddings of all time – the couple, their family, the intimate atmosphere was just awesome. Big thanks to Beck Diefenbach for his help shooting and to coordinator Suzy Berberian for all the beauty.  Congrats to Kari and Chad! Thank you for being so warm and wonderful.

As I am burning all my photos to CDs here at the PI, I came across this image that I made a few months ago while in California for the Rosebowl.

Bryan and I had some hours to kill, so we walked the beach. Such a different feel from Colorado – the wind whipping across the ocean, seagulls everywhere – and nuns. Some walking in the water, some running alongside. This nun was collecting seashells, not caring how wet her clothes became.
