121 Winding Way, Ross, California


When we began planning our wedding, we visited the usual locations for an outdoor wedding in Marin county and were disappointed at what was available. Then we remembered the home of a friend where we had gone to celebrate and photograph Abby, her date and several of her friends in all of their prom splendor. The location would be ideal, with three escalating levels, or terraces, natural landscaping with wild, beautiful bushes and flowers, and breath-taking vistas of the hills of Marin.



We presented our vision to friend Bill, the proprietor of this wondrous site, and he shared our enthusiasm, with one condition. The house was for sale, and he would not be able to commit until it was certain that a sale would not intervene. Fortunately for us, no buyer appeared, and we were able to have our wedding here.


Upon a close look at the premises, Terry immediately identified this location by the pool as the site for the ceremony, with guests seated around the pool and up above on the third terrace. The guy who came to consult with us about our sound system saw our vision and remarked, "It won't feel like people are coming to a wedding. It will feel like people just happened upon a wedding." As you can see the view is spectacular.
