I’ve been photographing weddings at Perona Farms for 17 years now and I am always pleasantly surprised with their updates- The Refinery at Perona Farms is their newest space and it is fantastic! When Victoria and Jonathan met with me, they were going off of photos of what it was going to look like. I could see all of the potential. They already knew it was a great spot for a wedding as Jonathan’s brother was married there two years prior. I photographed his brother Lawrence’s wedding at The Barn at Perona Farms. You can check out that blog by clicking here. Photographing Victoria and Jonathan’s wedding marked my 11th set of siblings photographed. I consider this one of my highest honors when families want to work with me again. It was so great seeing so many familiar faces and getting to meet Lawrence and Michele’s daughter! It was a perfect day from start to finish. Victoria and Jonathan were so chill and happy to spend the day with their friends and family.

Love how The Refinery at Perona Farms put their bride and groom suites right next to one another and in a super cool speakeasy space….
The socks are a nod to Victoria and Jonathan’s pup…

Love this botanical wall in the ceremony space at The Refinery…
I love tall pines. I’ve always loved tall pines. My driveway is lined with them and it never gets old for me. I find them so enchanting and protective so naturally I wanted to grab a photo with them…
I love this candid moment when everyone was adoring little Amelia! It is so great seeing my couples again and so fun to meet their little ones…

Love this sign! I love unplugged ceremonies because everyone is so much more present…

Victoria’s grandmother was the flower girl and I love how she savored the moment and took her time doing her thing!

It was clear that Bella, Victoria’s sister, was very excited about this marriage! Yeah!

After almost 20 years, tie limbo is one of those things that never gets old to me…
Lots of different approaches to tie limbo…

I knew it was going to be a great day working with Victoria and Jonathan and their friends and family at their Refinery at Perona Farms wedding. The weather was fantastic, Victoria was ready early, everyone was chill and ready to be in the moment for the ceremony and to celebrate with fantastic food and drink. So happy for Victoria and Jonathan and such a pleasure working with them through each step of the way. Thanks to Brandan Calhoun for assisting me.
