On hand was Woodinville Mayor Scott Hageman to open up the ceremonies for all of the Columbia Wine members and Enthusiasts who were there to celebrate the New Remodeled space! Also Susan Hutchison, who is running for King County Executive, was there to enjoy the activites as well! Thanks to all the supporters, wine lovers and Woodinville Residents who enjoyed the afternoon with us!

The Columbia Winery in Woodinville invited me out to photograph their Newly Remodeled Winery! Look out for Photographs from their Ribbon Cutting Ceremony later this week!

They’ve recently invested in a $2 million renovation of the entire Interior and boy is it BEAUTIFUL!! Not only is there a beautiful new wine tasting bar, Beautiful new central Fireplace with cozy seating all the way around, but the winery is now also licensed to sell wine by the glass and is offering FREE WI-FI…Sorry, Starbucks…The Columbia Winery now has the goods!!

So now you can drive through wine country, stop in to enjoy a glass of their Delicious Peninsula blend, fire up your laptop and enjoy the Gorgeous and peaceful surroundings! Not a bad way to spend your afternoon, eh?!!

View images of the Grounds, Main Wine Tasting space complete with Fireplace and Cozy seating, Members lounge and the Wedding Reception Interior and the Bridal Suite….

Steven & Erika are truly an Incredibly Adorable Couple…A few weeks ago we did their Engagement Session in San Francisco and then to see them on their Wedding Day was Fabulous! Everyone seemed to enjoy the day and the giant white shade tent for sure!!! The Guglielmo Winery is Gorgeous and the Warm sunny afternoon made it so enjoyable!

~~~ Best wishes you two and have a FABULOUS time in Mexico ~~~~

So this is Ann & Robert!!! They are getting married in the New Jersey area August 9th, 2008. They are BOTH Characters!!!! Ann is the CEO and founder of LifeMoxie! and if you are a go-getter with an Entreprenuerial spirit you MUST read her latest book “LifeMoxie: Ambition on a Mission, 9 strategies for taking life by the horns.” It’s a Great practical guide on how-to follow through with your goals.

And let’s just say through all the craziness for Ann being in the process of selling her condo in San Francisco and making the transition to New Jersey in the upcoming weeks lead for some wild and crazy conversation during our photo shoot….Not to mention the fact that as soon as we arrived at Coit Tower to take some pictures an evil vulture of sorts, kind of….ummm….well, crapped on Robert’s sleeve….Suffice it to say we had to dress him in a different shirt and just go with the flow.. ; )) Isn’t it obvious just How Much MOXIE Ann & Robert live their lives with!!!!!

And despite the craziness we did this photo shoot on Valentines Day….Too Sweet!!!

We ended up on a Golf Course in the Presidio overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge….

Ah….gotta love playin’ in the wind in the City!!

Ann has lived in San Francisco for over 10 years and Robert has been on the East Coast…they fly all around the countries with both of their careers and have made a pact never to go more than 3 weeks without seeing each other so they either fly to see each other or meet in different cities throughout the U.S. while they are traveling for business…..TOO SWEET!!!! I’m so glad y’all will Finally be in the same city and same house after your wedding..Yipppppeeeeeee!!!

And I snuck this shot off as we went off to have DRINKS at Fresca in Noe Valley after we finished the Photo Session…Ah, TRUST ME when I say drinks were SOOO in order after the crazy week they had and the wild photo shoot we all had together…And thanks to Mike for assisting me and making us all laugh our way through it….
