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!

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. ;)

Laura + Allen : Pembroke Lakes Golf and Country Club Wedding

July 6, 2015 by Jensey 2 Comments

Nate and Allen met in a previous life… Middle School. This is also where Allen met his beautiful wife, Laura! :)

Fun fact: Allen worked in D.C. for a while and once sent Nate a box of M&Ms from Air Force One. These guys were married at Pembroke Lakes Golf and Country Club in South Florida last year. A friend officiated the ceremony, Allen’s father was the best man, and his sisters gave one of the funniest, most touching speeches I’ve heard in 10 years. There was also a family dance to “Somewhere Out There,” so this wedding was pretty much perfect. ;)

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! :)
