Lynn and Barry traveled from the East Coast to Sonoma County for an unforgettable weekend filled with romance, wine, food, and adorable farm animals. Their purpose was to elope in the vineyard, but their ultimate experience was so much more. Lynn, Barry, and I bonded long before they arrived in wine country. They originally planned to elope at a beautiful private estate in Napa. But after reading about Beltane Ranch, they pivoted their entire plan. Turns out they love adorable animals as much as I do.

Their new plan was the perfect move not only for Lynn and Barry, but it also meant I finally got to meet Wally the Wooly Weeder. The urge to kiss his adorable face was hard to resist. The elopement was shared with a small handful of talented friends who helped make it magical. Days like this don’t come along often, and I’m grateful to have been a part of it. Lynn and Barry’s vineyard elopement left an indelible mark on all of us.
