Travel tidbit: When I travel, I like to stay in a house or cottage with a porch or great garden area so I can work outside if possible!
Helpful hint: Do your homework, source product locally, make local contacts, and connect with locals as they will know the ins and out of your location and help you piece together any unknowns. And a driver...if you are in a very unfamiliar location and need to do a lot of driving.
Favorite wedding destination: So far my favorite destination is anywhere in the Napa, Sonoma, Petaluma area. One of my favorites is Beaulieu Gardens, in Rutherford (shown above). Montecito comes in a close second. Really California has the best mix of food, culture, weather, and flora!

This is a nappa Valley post card event. Great.
Would love to create this shot into a painting.
