			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring is absolutely one of my favorite seasons. I love how color starts to burst out everywhere; we are just starting to see the crocuses pop out of the ground in New England. Soon the trees will start to bud. For those getting married at this beautiful time of year, it is time to start considering what flowers to include in your wedding decor and personal flowers. Fortunately, <a href="http://www.brides.com/package/spring_weddings" target="_blank">Brides.com</a> has a great series on all colors, styles, and flowers you can choose from.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3397951837/" title="brides- flowers with flair by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3611/3397951837_b545b4ee37_o.jpg" width="410" height="530" alt="brides- flowers with flair- groom boutonniere- pink and peach rose with green berries- hans fahden vineyard wedding" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.brides.com/package/spring_weddings/flowers/slide/187456#slide_187462" target="_blank">Brides.com</a> included one of our images from Brian and Lori&#8217;s wedding as well. Check out Brian&#8217;s gorgeous boutonniere- I love the way the peach tones blend into the vibrant pinks of the rose; the green berries and grasses are a really nice accent. </p>
<p><span id="more-164"></span></p>
<p>Brian and Lori had such an amazing wedding at <a href="http://hansfahden.com/weddingsevents.html" target="_blank">Hans Fahden Winery</a>, which definitely highlighted the colors of the season. Here&#8217;a a few more of my favorites:</p>
<p>For Lori, a white bouquet with touches of green, peach, and yellow. And I love the dark purple in the midst of some of the flowers.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3292941617/" title="lori_brian_264 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3567/3292941617_effa755160_o.jpg" width="369" height="530" alt="lori_brian wedding bouquet- white, yellow, peach, green- spring lush flowers- wine country wedding" /></a></p>
<p>For the flower girl, yellow, peach, and orange.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3293764390/" title="lori_brian_178 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3478/3293764390_42e7d55618_o.jpg" width="369" height="530" alt="lori_brian vineyard wedding- flower girl bouquet orange and yellow- northern caliofornia" /></a>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And <a href="http://hansfahden.com/" target="_blank">Hans Fahden Winery</a> really shone in springtime. The gardens were so lush.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/allegrophotography/3292941713/" title="lori_brian_270 by Allegro Photography, on Flickr" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3487/3292941713_08771ec029_o.jpg" width="370" height="530" alt="lori_brian wedding portrait in hans fahden gardens- calistoga, ca" /></a></p>

<p>Based on all the comments here on our blog, I know how excited and anxious Angela and Michael&#8217;s friends and family are to see all their wedding photos. I&#8217;ve had a really tough time narrowing them for this entry but here they are.</p>
<p>I have so many favorites from the day&#8230;but I really like the movement and feeling of this one. Angela and her dad are really good dancers and they put on quite the show and I think this image captures that.</p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/angela-and-michael-wedding-1-530x353.jpg" alt="angela-and-michael-wedding-father and daughter dance at a wedding" title="angela-and-michael-wedding-1" width="530" height="353" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-394" />
</p>
<p><span id="more-87"></span></p>
<p>Angela with some serious bling!</p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/07-08/angela_michael037.jpg" width="530" height="370">  </p>
<p>I took this of Angela and her parents as the gates opened into the courtyard at <a href="http://www.thelodgeatsonoma.com/sonoma-valley.html" target="_blank">The Lodge at Sonoma</a>. Don&#8217;t her parents look so proud?</p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/07-08/angela_michael092.jpg" alt="Bride walking down the aisle" width="530" height="370">  </p>
<p>This was definitely the sweetest moment I ever captured during the signing of the marriage certificate. Angela and Michael savoring their first moments as husband and wife.</p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/07-08/angela_michael219.jpg" width="530" height="370"></p>
<p>Angela et al worked for months putting together creative touches and her own signature look for the wedding. Michael told me that he couldn&#8217;t count how many times they went to the craft store. I will be posting more details from their wedding on a future post. Maybe we can get Angela to let us in on her decorating secrets.</p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/07-08/angela_michael359.jpg" alt="custom wedding invitation" width="370" height="530">  </p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/07-08/angela_michael377.jpg" alt="beautiful wedding cake" width="370" height="530"></p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/07-08/angela_michael448.jpg" width="370" height="530"></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a really cute shot taken by Sarah. Angela had gotten parasols for all the guest and I thought that it would be fun to get a few portraits with them.</p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/07-08/angela_michael512.jpg" alt="The Lodge at Somona" width="370" height="530"></p>
<p>After the reception, we went to <a href="http://www.chateaustjean.com/" target="_blank">Chateau St. Jean</a> for some photos. This is one of their favorite vineyards  and they even had Chateau St. Jean wine  at the reception. </p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/07-08/angela_michael580.jpg" alt="wedding photos Chateau St. Jean" width="370" height="530"></p>
<p>The ever patient bridal party.</p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/07-08/angela_michael589.jpg" width="530" height="370"><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/07-08/angela_michael600.jpg" width="530" height="370"></p>
<p>And an absolutely perfect ending to the day &#8211; stroll in the vineyard.</p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/07-08/angela_michael617.jpg" alt="Wedding couple in vineyard" width="530" height="370"></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Â I have known Angela for a couple of years after photographing her friend&#8217;s wedding. So I was really excited to see her and Michael tie the knot. Angela one of the sweetest, easy going and most organized brides that we have ever had. Angela is from the Bay Area and Michael from the Midwest so they chose to have a destination wedding in Sonoma Valley. <a href="http://www.thelodgeatsonoma.com/sonoma-valley.html" target="_blank"> The Lodge at Sonoma</a> was the ideal choice for their wine county inspired outdoor wedding. Having shot at the Lodge before, we knew how lovely it was and together with Angela&#8217;s creative touches, they created a beautifully designed wedding. After the morning ceremony and afternoon reception, everyone was treated to a wine tour at <a href="http://www.ledson.com/" target="_blank">Ledson Winery</a> and <a href="http://www.chateaustjean.com/" target="_blank">Chateau St. Jean</a>. Here a few sneak peaks from the day.<br />

<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/06-08/IMG_0603.jpg" alt="The Lodge and Sonoma Bride and Groom wedding ceremony" width="530" height="434" /></p>
<p>The gardens at the <a href="http://www.thelodgeatsonoma.com/sonoma-valley-weddings.html" target="_blank">Lodge at Sonoma</a> were in full bloom and was the perfect backdrop for an outdoor wedding.</p>

<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/06-08/_MG_3576.jpg" width="530" height="370" /></p>
<p>Angela and the best man vying for a kiss!</p>
<p><img src="http://allegrophotography.com/blog_images/06-08/EB0U9312-Edit.jpg" alt="Chateau St John Wedding Couple" width="369" height="530" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.chateaustjean.com/" target="_blank">Chateau St. Jean</a> is one of Angela and Michael&#8217;s favorites wineries so we went there for some post reception photos in this French inspired Chateau.</p>
<p>Jo stayed home on this one:) But I had a wonderful second shooter with me. Thanks Sarah, you did a great job!</p>
<p>This is just a sneak peak. More to come soon.</p>
