Lynn and Mark’s Wedding, Healdsburg Private Estate

Lynn and Mark were married in a tiny, intimate ceremony at a private estate in Healdsburg. Simple, understated elegance in every detail.

(Pay attention to those shoes . . . . . )

I've known Lynn for several years, and have gotten to hear the unfolding story of this romance in bits and pieces.

From a sheerly pragmatic view, it was an unlikly relationship from the start, given that bride and groom currently live half way around the world from one another.

Above: This gorgeous ring holder was a gift from Lynn's sister Colleen and niece Sophia. It is a geode, which Mark thought was especially cool, because he studied geology and is really into rocks.

Watching these two prioritize their love has been consistently inspiring to me. Getting to document their wedding was an honor and a privilege.

The wedding they created in Healdsburg felt like the opposite of a big, fancy wedding. Instead, it felt small, organic, and homegrown, the perfect backdrop for Lynn and Mark's love and marriage.

Mark got a bit emotional during the ceremony; Lynn offered him her handkerchief :)

What did I tell you about those shoes?!
