Venue Slideshow | The Carneros Inn with Alison Yin

Friday December 10th

Today’s venue slideshow features The Carneros Inn located in Napa, California. The pictures highlighting this stunning property were taken by San Francisco-based photographer Alison Yin.

This picturesque vineyard was voted One of the top 25 Romantic Getaways in the World by Travel & Leisure Magazine. It’s located between the Napa and Sonoma Valleys and features private gardens where you can sample some of California’s finest wine. Also on the property are 86 private cottages and 10 suites for overnight-stays, during which time you can enjoy fine dining at any one of the four restaurants at the vineyard or simply order room service. Guests can spend the day swimming at the Hilltop pool, enjoying spa services, shopping or riding bicycles on the gravel paths.

Special events held at The Carneros Inn can be set either in their ballrooms or outside in their courtyard. The onsite wedding liaison will help brides plan their big day with unique design, attentive service and luxury accommodations. Newlyweds and soon-to-be weds will be thrilled with the customer service and views at the inn.

Daily Destination | Los Cabos, Mexico with Dino Gomez

Wednesday December 8th

Liz & Sergio

It’s awful chilly here in the Northeast, so I figured featuring a wedding in hot Los Cabos, Mexico would help warm us up! And, boy was I right. Today we’re featuring both Liz & Sergio’s wedding and day after session with Mexico-based photographer Dino Gomez.

Let’s start with the ceremony, which was held at the Sheraton Hacienda del Mar Golf & Spa Resort’s chapel. Wedding planner Karla Casillas took care of all the details from white flowers scattered down the aisle to the unity candle perfectly placed on the altar. Later, the reception took place at the Cabo del Sol Club House where guests celebrated the love. Karla’s talent for timing struck again when she queued the mariachi band to play before the dinner. Guests enjoyed drinks and dancing throughout the evening as well as cake for dessert.

The next day, Dino met with the newlyweds on the sandy beaches of Los Cabos for some day after shots. Liz is truly a beauty as she lets her hair down and splashes Sergio with water! I love these two frolicking on the shore.

Congratulations, Liz & Sergio! For more of Dino’s great work, visit his photo gallery.
