Napa Valley has eluded me for quite a while. I've had several couples before already planned a shoot there but somehow, it always changes last minute. But obviously, not this time. Not this time because Jerome and Maris live a few miles from where the vineyards are, not this time because Jerome and Maris are avid wine fans, and definitely not this time because Jerome and Maris braved the midday sun, the dirt, and the seemingly inadequate time we had (1.5 hours) for the shoot. =) 

I've always been very thankful for all the super nice couples that I get to photograph, and these two are no different, in fact they are even on the top bunch. =) Jerome is funny and warm and Maris is sweet and pleasing. They are beautiful inside and out and it shows in all their photos =)
