Marla and Shawn had a stunning destination wedding at Hans Fahden Winery in Napa Valley, California. They had many of the traditional elements and celebrated in good style, but the day after their wedding, they wanted to spice things up a bit. So we did a very special newlywed session in the Marin Headlands and along the California Coast.

First stop, Point Bonita Lighthouse– so fun- everyone was cheering and so gracious, allowing the newlyweds to cross the bridge at the head of the line.

When walking back up the hill from the lighthouse, we noticed this little path in the grasses and a fabulous view of the Golden Gate Bridge. We had to stop and enjoy the scenery.

We had parked by this old bunker. It was a great place to play around for a bit. All of the old, rusty metal provided great texture and contrast to Marla’s softness.

We concluded our tour at Rodeo Beach for a little wave action and an opportunity to Trash the Dress.

Yes, they got wet and yes, it was very, very cold. These two were such troopers though. I was amazed!

We really got so lucky with the weather and the day turned out to be perfect. If you want to see more from their TTD session and their wedding, definitely take a look at their slideshow, their sneak preview, and their scoop.
