Fall wedding at Barndiva in Sonoma County, California | Daniel & Christopher

On the most beautiful fall day in northern California, Daniel and Christopher exchanged vows in front of their family and friends, officiated by the fabulous Latrice Royale (of RuPaul’s Drag Race fame).

This wedding day had so many special moments, but some of my favorites were during the early part of the day, when the grooms got ready for their ceremony together and I snuck this photo of Daniel finishing writing his vows in the hallway of the gorgeous Hotel Healdsburg.

The wedding ceremony alternately had everyone laughing and crying tears of happiness - the grooms’ vows were so touching and sweet, and they were framed in that perfect sunset glow while pledging forever.

Dragonfly Floral and Barndiva worked together to create this beautiful and perfectly fall setting in which to have an intimate dinner reception.

The crowning moment of the reception was when the statuesque Latrice re-entered the room dressed in a slinky, sparkly gown and performed two numbers to the crowd of joyful, cheering guests! It was fantastic!
