Last Saturday I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Gay and Jon’s very intimate wedding at Relais du Soleil in Sonoma. They recently moved back to the United States after spending two years in New Zealand. Friends and family came in from all over, many which hadn’t seen the couple in a long time. It was the sweetest and most relaxing day… Gay started crying while walking down the isle followed by Jon’s tears after the ceremony. Their rings were made out of different types of wood symbolizing the places that have touched their hearts. Including wood indigenous to New Zealand and bamboo to signify their time in Asia. The food was amazing, as one would expect since Gay is a chef. A huge vegetable paella was served followed by a delicious vegan ice cream dessert. What an amazing day shared with all their loved ones. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of it! Congratulations Gay and Jon!!

Here are some of Red Loft Studios favorites…

Both Gay and Jon’s parents held the chuppah during the ceremony.
