Olympia’s Valley Estate: Dark Winter Romance Photo Shoot

Oh, am I excited to share this special shoot with you! And as it turns out I am not the only one, I am honored to have had this shoot featured on Borrowed and Blue this week. I also had the honor of working with a talented team of rock stars at one of my all time favorite locations in the Bay Area, Olympia’s Valley Estate in Petaluma, CA.

We had not one or two but THREE beautiful weddings gowns to work with from Claire Pettibone for this shoot, as well as three unique bouquets and three unique hair styles, especially for curly hair– not that I’m biased or anything 😉

Also if you’re digging the yarn garland on the last bouquet that a little DIY element I threw in myself. I’m a bit of an avid knitter so I went to my favorite yarn shop, picked up some gorgeous wool and finger crocheted that thing in mere minutes! You can easily teach yourself to do the same on youtube and ta-da! You’ll have yourself an easy peasy little wedding craft done just like that.

Check out all the moody blue winter inspiration and enjoy! Credits for our dream team below:

Three things to know about getting married at San Francisco City Hall⁠
⁠
• You can pick up a marriage license from any county in California. Just make sure it is within 90 days of your date⁠
• The best light and my favorite portrait location is on the 4th-floor North balcony⁠
• San Francisco City Hall’s best kept secret: Did you know you can get married at SF City Hall without making a wedding appointment? You just need to hire your private officiant, and I can help you plan a wedding like this.⁠
