you gotta love this adorable couple for picking such a great location for an engagement session! this time, we headed to sonoma to visit cornerstone garden, a very cool, creative, and unique outdoor garden museum. just the place to complement the playful twosome, the lovely jasmin and jerome! we were lucky to visit on one of their "free days." i'm telling you, this place has what seems to be an unlimited number of photo opps. it's just zany!
afterwards, we headed to artesa in the napa valley, which happened to be closed. so instead, we pulled over to the side of the lonely road for views of the rolling vineyards and a "swimming hole." jasmin even braved the snake holes near the arrow signs, which the heroic jerome was able to "stomp" away! seriously, a snake the length of a full meter came through just as jasmin wondered aloud about the holes in the grass.
congrats to jasmin and jerome! thanks for spending the afternoon with us and introducing us to cornerstone. can't wait for your wedding in august!!!

that tunnel shot is crazy! How did you light that? nice work as always.
beautiful work, my favorite is the first one on #6 with the sunflare. your locations are so creative and unique.
Ed,
These are great, you always have the best blue skys. I am close to Napa I need to go check out that place.
Like always great and inspiring composition.

#6 is crazy amazing. I freakin' love it. Way to go, as usual...I am so jealous of all of the great architecture/sculptures you have been working with lately. And you are WORKING WITH IT, man!
excellent photos - very creative!
okay, however.... CORNERSTONE IS NOT IN NAPA!!! SHEESH! Gotta give Sonoma some credit, eh? Let me know next time you're here - my studio is about 7 minutes from Cornerstone.
awesome photos ed. that tunnel shot is just wow...

thanks for all the support guys!
