LINDSEY & OSSAMA | Sonoma – Ellie Grover Photography

Lindsey and Ossama have the kindest hearts, they are truly in love with each other and their easy going attitude and willingness to laugh at anything (see later photos…) cannot be matched. I had so much fun taking photos of these two and following them around on their wedding day. What a beautiful day it was in a private vineyard setting! Big barn, check, stripped straws and mason jars, check, beautiful lacy wedding dress and a reception hall that looks like a fairy tale came true, check. It was gorgeous, but I think the sweet smiles and spirit of this couple and their truly loving friends and family really made the day – perfect.

STORY TIME. That’s when I get to stop the nice flow of this beautiful wedding to tell a true story. Stop peeking ahead. Right after that vineyard shot I spied a beautiful garden with wildflowers galore and a sweet little wooden bench – the perfect place to take some close-ups of this cute couple. Ossama was nice enough to tread into the garden a bit and grab me my prized wooden bench – and and on the way out, kicked, tripped, elbowed, I’m not sure, (does it matter?), an irrigation pipe! Water was everywhere in seconds – spewing IN. THE. AIR. All over Lindsey and Ossama. I literally froze and after what seemed to be a full minute of me standing there saying (out-loud mind you), “what do I do? What do I do?”, Lindsay and Ossama had to pull me out of my shock by saying, ‘well you might as well take a picture of it!’ Look at these faces?! Now do you know what I mean about loving this couple to death? They are THE BEST.

Lindsey’s dress was blow-dried, make-up was touched up and to this moment I still believe that no hair was hurt on account of the irrigation spewage. Phew. You guys earn the most jolly couple of the year award!
