Renewing of one’s Wedding Vows is a special way to reaffirm your love to your spouse.  Stacey and Tyler decided to reaffirm their vows to one another while on their 5th Wedding Anniversary get-away to California.  Reverend Lucinda Martin officiated the ceremony lakeside at beautiful Howarth Park, Spring Lake, Santa Rosa.  There were plenty of ducks and geese to witness the intimate ceremony on this quiet Thursday morning.

Reverend Lucinda had wonderful words to share with the couple.  We were honored to be able to capture this special time in their lives.

Dear Nancy, Ron, Melissa –

I cannot tell you how much we appreciate the services that the Crain family provided during our recommitment ceremony in April.  Being able to spend the day with you all, and to have such amazing shots of our day will remind us of just how special you helped our day to be.  We had heard such amazing things about the creativity and non-interference way that you all operate, and were not let down at all.  Some photographers tout “personal touches” and end up with the same stock shots that anyone with a camera captures.  Needless to say, this is NOT the case with Arken.

Cheers,

Tyler and Stacey

We enjoyed spending the day with Tyler & Stacey as well as Lucinda.  After the Reaffirmation Ceremony we had a short drive to Kenwood and had a wonderful meal at Cafe Citti.  A nice intimate Italian cafe.  After our meal we visited Chateau St. Jean where we strolled around their beautiful grounds and then tasted their Reserve offerings poured by the knowlegable Bob Beck.

We really enjoyed our time with Stacey and Tyler and wish them the best back home in Colorado.  We hope to keep in touch and visit again next time they come to Sonoma County!
