I just have to start by saying this: the joy between Ryan and Virginia – the warmth and affection and kindness that they have towards one another – well, I can’t help but smile when I think about it. Their presence permeated every inch of Napa Valley. What I experienced that day with them was so pure and childlike, and capturing their authentic love was something like a dream. They weren’t afraid to be themselves, with one another or with me, and they didn’t hold anything back. They spent a lot of time running through flowers and snuggling as we meandered the campus of Vsattui Winery and Vineyard, where Virginia works. After spending time enjoying the gorgeous weather, we were able to make our way down to the barrel room, where they danced, snuggled, and delighted in one another’s presence. To close off the evening, we took time to sit in the back of the car to watch the sun set on an incredible day of celebrating their love and the future of their lives together.
