Couple Marrying Near Kincade Fire Shoots Smoky Wedding Photos
A bride and groom getting married in Kenwood, near the Sonoma County Kincade Fire, took dramatic wedding pictures while sporting air masks.
SONOMA COUNTY, CA — An intrepid couple getting married at a Sonoma County vineyard just miles away from the Kincade Fire shot a striking wedding picture, complete with air masks and a smoke-filled sky.
The photo, shot by photographer Karna Roa, shows the bride and groom standing in a vineyard with stoic expressions on their faces, which are partly obscured by air masks. The sky overhead is bright orange but hazy — after all, the massive blaze was raging nearby, ABC first reported.
The wedding took place Saturday, and the venue — Chateau St. Jean in Kenwood — was ultimately evacuated Sunday, ABC reported.
