Erica + Arminder : Murietta’s Well Winery Wedding in Livermore, California

July 13, 2015 by Jensey 5 Comments

Ah, Murietta’s Well Winery. <3 There are certain wedding locations where you couldn’t take a bad picture if you tried, and this is one of them. Erica and Arminder were married exactly two years after our last wedding at this charming Livermore venue. With my favorite relatives all residing in northern California, I would *love* for this to become a biannual tradition! :)

We met Erica and Arminder at Murietta’s Well and started the day with a first look in the vineyard.

Our brides have had some uh-mazing dresses lately, and I’d be lying if I didn’t say this one was a jaw dropper!

That hair, that dress, those eyes- Erica, you were a gorgeous bride!

Favorite. <3

While Erica and Arminder joined their guests for dinner in the cellar, Nate and I enjoyed our vendor meal during sunset on the balcony. I love that one of the most romantic dinners we’ve ever shared was on the job. ;)

Thanks for having us, Erica and Arminder!! And northern California brides, we hope to see you again next year! ;)

Michelle + Justin : Old Town Manor Wedding and Hyatt Key West Resort Reception in Key West, Florida

July 3, 2015 by Jensey 4 Comments

An oldie but a goodie, and I’m posting today because I can’t think of a better wedding to kick off our July blog posts! Michelle and Justin were married in the Florida Keys, and their family and friends started the wedding festivities in the historic Old Town Manor. I mean, this bed and breakfast had me the second this little guy greeted us upon arrival! :)

I couldn’t believe it took me nearly a decade of being a Florida resident to make it to the Keys. My favorite thing about the island? Wild roosters! :)

Loved their first look. :)

Old Town Manor, you are downright charming. <3

Favorite. :)

Then it was reception time at the Hyatt Key West Resort and Spa!

Thanks for having us, Michelle and Justin! <3

Carol + Ron : Pawleys Island Wedding in South Carolina

June 17, 2015 by Jensey 8 Comments

Once upon a time, I met Nick. And on Nick’s birthday, I met his best friend Nate. <3

Nick’s family is full of wonderful, amazing people. His grandparents greet you like long lost friends, his mom has treated me like one of her own since the day we met. His sister is a professional acrobat. His cousin looks like he just stepped off the pages of GQ, but is also one of the kindest people you’ll meet. You get the picture!

When Nick’s Uncle Ron asked us to photograph his wedding, we jumped at the chance! Uncle Ron and Carol were married at Pawley’s Island in South Carolina, where this was the view from the porch of their beach house. Their wedding was so incredibly intimate and emotional, with maybe only 10 people in attendance. We even got to watch Ron and his friends build the arbor! Everything was just perfect.

Dan not only escorted Carol down the aisle, but helped her pick out that incredible dress.

Carol and Ron, we wish y’all the absolute best. <3
