This day felt like slow laughter, warm light, and the kind of love that doesn’t try too hard. From the second we arrived at Durst Winery, it was clear this day was going to be less about posing and more about presence. From the very start, we could feel the excitement radiating off Jennifer & Marina. Their first looks with each other, Marina’s brother, and Jennifer’s dad were such sweet moments full of tears and genuine joy.

Session Details:

• Location: Durst Winery, Acampo, California
• Wedding Type: LGBTQ+ Plus Size Wedding
• Photography Style: Digital Photos + 35mm Film
• Vibe: Joyful, Candid, Intimate, Warm

Durst Winery is the perfect wedding venue for couples looking for an all-inclusive space. From their spacious getting-ready rooms to the sun-kissed ceremony space, this venue has it all. And every space has such great potential to bring your decor to life.

What made this session feel especially meaningful was how quickly it turned into less of a photoshoot and more of a shared experience. Rather than focusing on stiff poses, we guided them with small movements. Walking hand-in-hand, leaning into each other, pausing when something felt good, and letting the rest unfold naturally. It all felt effortless, even with Jennie and Marina confessing they weren’t the most confident in front of the camera. By the end of the getting ready photos, they weren’t thinking about how they looked, just about being together and spending the day with family. That comfort and trust are what give the images their joy and honesty.

That’s what you can expect during a guided candid wedding photography experience with us. Gentle guidance that enhances the moment, not distracts from it.

Film photography adds a softness and sense of nostalgia that can’t be replicated digitally. These 35mm frames slow the moment down, embracing natural light, movement, and emotion to tell the story exactly as it felt. Blending film alongside digital allows us to create images that feel timeless, honest, and deeply human. The kind of images you’ll want to come back to years from now.

These 35mm film photos were captured during a Durst Winery LGBTQ wedding in Acampo, Northern California.
