I adore Kate Harrison‘s photographs especially when those photographs capture such amazing moments full of love and laughter like these do. Each wedding we feature is special, of course, but every now and then we get a glimpse into a wedding so full of emotion and adoration that it just oozes from the images and I feel like I am actually there. Plus I always go crazy for a wedding at the Healdsburg Country Gardens in Sonoma Valley. The venue is so beautiful all on its own you really just need a gorgeous, glowing couple like this to let it shine. Click here to see even more!

From the Bride… We met while Adam was in the US on business. Our first couple of evenings out were social rather than one-on-one. After this trip, Adam went back to England, but returned two weeks later. I managed to find out which hotel he was in and phoned him early one Saturday to ask him out on a date! I told him I’d like to show him San Francisco for the day. We had our first kiss on the Sunday afternoon at Lands End.
In the four years we’ve been together, we have moved country three times. Naturally, there are lots of emotions with all that change – we have survived, learned so much and been able to celebrate the rewards which come with getting through all that change. We are very different people but our shared core values always bind us together. And in truth, we are attracted to our differences – both in our personalities and our cultures. A typical conversation is comparing the UK / US or one of us not being familiar the same music, movies, history, etc. Makes life interesting.
Our wedding reflected us and our personalities (procession song was “You’ve Got the Love” by Florence and the Machine) and it felt handmade–my mom grew the center pieces from her garden. There was a little bit of tradition (chuppa) and a lot of non-traditional (Adam’s sister was the best man, my dad/uncle played the drum’s / trumpet with the band for one or two songs). We wanted all our guests to feel that they were at our wedding because we think they will have an important role to play in our marriage.

:) looks so special
Wow, lovely, lovely pictures! I love the natural light and the shot of the bride in the vineyard!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'd put it on MY desk!
I don't know if there is a more picturesque place on earth than the Sonoma/Napa region. Being a big wine lover I might be biased, but.... Really amazing pictures. It is one of my life's goals to shoot a wedding in Napa and/or Sonoma. Just love the vineyards! Thanks for sharing!
Gorgeous images of a couple who glow with love and happiness.
I remember this wedding held at Healdsburg Country Gardens ( our venue)
--what a joyful celebration with friends and family.

I love the photo of the bride walking through the vineyards! I am SO happy to see this wedding and location-- I grew up in Healdsburg. Seriously, so special.
This couple looks so in love, the shots are truly intimate. I'm sure that they will treasure them as the years go by. Love the vineyard shot with the groom in pursuit,darling!
Love the venue, Healdsburg Country Gardens. Right in my backyard...have planned many weddings there. Fun to work with on design...nice job!

A Dream Wedding
It was pure joy to work with Christa & Adam to help make the dream of their special day a reality. A dream project - the planning and styling was a collaborative effort which was fun and creative from the start. And Kate did such a wonderful job capturing the immense beauty and love that surrounded them. Thanks, SMP, for featuring this unforgettable celebration!
I just had the opportunity to work with Kate over the weekend at a wedding very rustic and similar to the work shown in these images. I can't wait to see what creative and interesting shots she managed to take during that event. She's amazingly simple and fun to work with, and I'm hoping to see her smiling face again during one of my upcoming events soon!
