The ceremony was at St. Vincent De Paul Church which is a majestic location for a wedding. The reception was at the Petaluma Woman's Club - https://petalumawomansclub.com/ which is a delightful and historic reception site in downtown Petaluma.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3399992949543546217-3889444138439305309?l=sonomaweddingphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Owen Kahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05129320573403853843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399992949543546217.post-49411114475340329562009-04-02T16:32:00.000-07:002009-04-02T17:02:18.498-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SdVR8gNTcQI/AAAAAAAAAD0/CxqG-yQmNnY/s1600-h/MOUNTAIN.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SdVR8gNTcQI/AAAAAAAAAD0/CxqG-yQmNnY/s320/MOUNTAIN.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320248634687844610" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SdVR8VHQcNI/AAAAAAAAADs/694W-vqUhQs/s1600-h/DSC_0181.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 275px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SdVR8VHQcNI/AAAAAAAAADs/694W-vqUhQs/s320/DSC_0181.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320248631709692114" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SdVR8MrYzeI/AAAAAAAAADk/DNgGqLYM6DY/s1600-h/DSC_0135.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 260px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SdVR8MrYzeI/AAAAAAAAADk/DNgGqLYM6DY/s320/DSC_0135.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320248629445316066" border="0" /></a><br />One of the coolest spots for photos in the the San Francisco Bay Area is the Marin Headlands with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background. Megan and Andy requested this location for their engagement photo session and I was happy to oblige.<br /><br />One of the advantages of being based in Petaluma is that I am close to San Francisco as well as the Sonoma and Napa valleys, and the Sonoma Coast. I love the varied locations I get to work at when photographing weddings and portraits and the spectacular scenery that works so well for backgrounds.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3399992949543546217-4941111447534032956?l=sonomaweddingphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Owen Kahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05129320573403853843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399992949543546217.post-29368605485860519682008-12-22T08:45:00.000-08:002008-12-22T10:28:18.589-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SU_bfLUVHkI/AAAAAAAAADU/z58htVhaQBs/s1600-h/0090_NEF.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SU_bfLUVHkI/AAAAAAAAADU/z58htVhaQBs/s320/0090_NEF.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282682216589368898" border="0" /></a><br /><br />One of the bonuses of being a wedding photographer is when you get to travel to a fun place to photograph a wedding. Recently, I photographed a wonderful wedding at the Applegate River Lodge <a href="http://www.applegateriverlodge.com/">http://www.applegateriverlodge.com/</a> in Southern Oregon.<br /><br /><br />It was a pleasure to work at such a striking venue in such a stunning location. The drive from Ashland went through historic Jacksonville which has many well preserved buildings. Gold was discovered here in 1851 and Jacksonville still has the feel of an old west, gold-rush town.<br /><br />The bride Jesse and the groom Ian were a pleasure to work with. Instead of a wedding cake, they made caramel apples for their guests.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SU_P2Fv5g5I/AAAAAAAAAC0/4duhc0lgKEQ/s1600-h/0116_NEF.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 171px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SU_P2Fv5g5I/AAAAAAAAAC0/4duhc0lgKEQ/s320/0116_NEF.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282669416091845522" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SU_cGGEw3lI/AAAAAAAAADc/eOOgt8FMLMw/s1600-h/0309_NEF.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SU_cGGEw3lI/AAAAAAAAADc/eOOgt8FMLMw/s320/0309_NEF.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282682885196799570" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SU_P1l4gHYI/AAAAAAAAACk/ljAgw-AGhD0/s1600-h/0390_NEF.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SU_P1l4gHYI/AAAAAAAAACk/ljAgw-AGhD0/s320/0390_NEF.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282669407537995138" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SU_TpGwsY8I/AAAAAAAAADE/j96-LD-FMRo/s1600-h/0430_NEF.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 218px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SU_TpGwsY8I/AAAAAAAAADE/j96-LD-FMRo/s320/0430_NEF.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282673591071826882" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SU_Vtd7gRnI/AAAAAAAAADM/Cv0eZUAgZm4/s1600-h/0285_NEF.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 221px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SU_Vtd7gRnI/AAAAAAAAADM/Cv0eZUAgZm4/s320/0285_NEF.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282675865033918066" border="0" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3399992949543546217-2936860548586051968?l=sonomaweddingphotographer.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Owen Kahnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05129320573403853843noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3399992949543546217.post-77092443695342962772008-12-15T12:50:00.000-08:002008-12-15T14:55:12.141-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SUbLw-XRFUI/AAAAAAAAAAk/V3DP9dIVTMQ/s1600-h/DSC_0060adjusted.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 333px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tZvI_Ni4BRw/SUbLw-XRFUI/AAAAAAAAAAk/V3DP9dIVTMQ/s400/DSC_0060adjusted.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280131655373231426" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Is it any wonder that the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Sonoma</span></span> and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Napa</span></span> Wine Country is such a popular destination?
