Wineries in Sonoma and Napa Counties are popular destinations for weddings, with perfect weather conditions and beautiful vineyard scenery. Wineries are also an important industry for the economy in the North Bay Area, and the passion and the pride of residents. Above is Paradise Ridge Winery, located in Santa Rosa which was completely destroyed in the fire.

The LOVE art in the sculpture garden on the property is a favorite for wedding photos. The photo on the left is the wedding of Julie Zack Yaste and Cameron Yaste in September of 2012. The image on the right was taken on October 10, 2017. The LOVE art arrived here after it was on display at Burning Man. It survived both the festival and the wildfire, proving love wins.

After the fire destroyed the winery, a photographer noticed something eerie.
