Some wedding days feel like a continuation of a story already in motion—and that’s exactly what made Jami and Carlo’s celebration so special. After officially tying the knot in an intimate City Hall ceremony last September with just 30 of their nearest and dearest, they gathered again eight months later to celebrate with all the people they love most. And let me tell you—this day was absolutely worth the wait.

From City Hall to Wine Country
June 6, 2025. Trentadue Winery set the stage for the long-awaited celebration. Nestled in the heart of Sonoma wine country, it was the perfect backdrop for a day filled with laughter, joy, and emotion. The day started quietly—Jami and Carlo getting ready at a nearby hotel, surrounded by close family and friends. There’s something so sweet about those getting-ready hours. The anticipation, the quiet excitement, the finishing touches before the party begins.
From there, we moved into portraits and candids—capturing the warmth and connection that’s so clearly woven into this couple’s story. It was laid-back and full of love, setting the tone for everything that followed.













An Italian-Inspired Cocktail Hour
If you’ve ever been to an Italian celebration, you know the food matters. And Jami & Carlo made sure their guests felt that love from the very first bite. Their cocktail hour featured a beautifully styled Italian charcuterie board that was, hands down, one of the most popular moments of the day. It was a true feast for the senses—rustic, delicious, and so on-theme.
The setting buzzed with conversation, hugs, and reconnecting. Everyone was relaxed, drinks in hand, music filling the space.








A Reception Full of Heart
As the sun dipped behind the vines, the reception began—an evening filled with heartfelt speeches, laughter, and more than a few happy tears. Jami’s father chose their first dance song, adding such a personal and emotional touch to the night. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room.
And then came the dancing. The energy? Immaculate. A live saxophone player brought a unique and soulful vibe that lit up the dance floor. Later, a mobile ice cream truck rolled in and honestly—what’s better than dancing under the stars and ending the night with your favorite scoop?












A Day That Felt Like Them
From the thoughtful details to the emotional speeches to the joy that radiated through the whole day, Jami and Carlo’s celebration felt like a true reflection of who they are—warm, intentional, full of life. It wasn’t just about catching up on what didn’t happen eight months ago. It was about celebrating the life they’re building together and sharing that moment with all the people who’ve supported them along the way.
To Jami & Carlo: Thank you for letting me be a part of both your beginning and your celebration. Your love is steady, joyful, and so beautifully grounded. Here’s to a lifetime of saxophone solos, endless meals & shared desserts, and dancing like no one’s watching.
