Elegant Wedding Day at Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn

I had the absolute pleasure of being a part of this beautifully intimate and elegant wedding for a stunning couple named Chenzi and Dave. Their wedding was held at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Sonoma Golf Club, this amazing setting perfectly matched the couple’s laid-back vibe and the intimate feel of the wedding! The wedding was a wonderful blend of different cultures coming together in celebration. The bride and groom were so relaxed, and their love for each other was so palpable that it made my job as a photographer so much easier and more enjoyable!

What made this wedding even more special was the small guest list. There were only around 30 people in attendance, which gave the ceremony an incredibly personal and close feel. It was such a refreshing change of pace from the typical large weddings, and it reminded me of why I love what I do so much! The smaller guest list also allowed me to focus more on capturing the intimate moments between Chenzi and Dave. I was able to spend more time with them, which resulted in some truly beautiful and authentic shots. Their happiness and love for each other were so evident in every photo, and I couldn’t be happier with how they came out!

With this wedding, I realized just how much I enjoy shooting smaller, more intimate weddings. The personal connections, the relaxed environment, and the ability to really focus on the couple are all things that I love about smaller weddings. So, if you’re planning a smaller, more intimate wedding, I’d be more than happy to be part of it! And capture it in a way that is authentic to you and your partner.
