Why Foodies Love this Dreamy Wine Country Event Site

Wedding season is upon us, and it’s such an awesome time of year! My weekends are full of shooting at different locations, celebrating a couple’s love, and their bright future. It doesn’t get much better than that!

I had the best time working with Lillian and Jonathan at the Culinary Institute of America recently. Known as the premier culinary college, the CIA has several campuses and a variety of gorgeous event spaces. Lillian and Jonathan chose CIA Greystone in St. Helena, which is a stunning backdrop for any event.

The castle-like building and wine country setting created the most romantic vibes for this dreamy wedding. The outdoor courtyard complete with party lights is a favorite site for any event. I loved the sweet details from this wedding, too. The cork table numbers, lavender bridesmaid dresses, and cookie dessert bar added to the charm of this super fun wedding.

Congrats to Lillian and Jonathan! Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your special day.
