Proposal at Roche Vineyards

As much as I can appreciate photographing at a familiar location, going somewhere new is SO fun! When Bobby reached out to me with his itinerary for their vacation to Sonoma Valley, I did recognize several wineries, but Roche was new to me- and it was perfect! Loved photographing this proposal at Roche Vineyards.

They arrived for their tasting, and then I arrived about 20 minutes before the tasting was over, and situated myself out in the vineyards and waited for them to walk out. The wind was a little crazy at first, but it worked in our favor, and I was able to play off my “I am photographing the property today and grabbing a few photos of people as well, can I grab a shot of you two together?” fib well!

I loved letting them walk off after I took a photo or two, to give Bobby time to talk and snuggle with Jordan before he shocked her by getting down on one knee!

Roche has a great, private area among the vineyards with a fun porch swing and a covered area, surrounded by vines. These two laughed and cried and enjoyed the moment while I snapped away and shared a few Dad jokes :)

Then we went back to the table they did their tasting at, where Bobby’s sister surprised them by having celebratory bubbly awaiting them, and we enjoyed the view!
