It’s rare…. but, occasionally, someone besides the bride and groom book me.   This time, it was Alex’s sweet mom.  Through seeing my work online and a few word of mouth recommendations, she decided I was the one for the job.  She contacted me only a few months out and, well, all the stars aligned. It was a Sunday wedding, which was perfect because it POURED on Saturday.  It was just the right temperature, not too cold for November.  And, the best part… Alex and Angela were so delightful! I’d say we were a pretty good match.  I started my day at Angela’s house.  With no bridesmaids, it was just her and her family getting ready.  There was something special about her getting ready in her own room.  There were hints of Alex all throughout.  I would just like to add a side note… Angela did her own make up and it was flawless… I wish I had those skills!  From the house, the family caravanned out to Morias Vineyards.  It was my first time at this venue and I was so impressed. It was absolutely stunning.  Alex hung out below the venue waiting to see his bride! It was finally ceremony time and Alex was beaming from ear to ear when Angela came down the aisle.  They said their vows in front of all their loved ones and just like that the new Mr. and Mrs. were ready to celebrate!  Such thought went into the whole wedding…especially reception. From fun dances, to Italian games, to an amazing dessert bar! See for yourself below! Thank you to Heather of Heather Adams Photography for second shooting with me!

So, so pretty Angela!

This getting ready room + the light + Angela = PERFECTION

I’d say someone was pretty happy to see his bride!

Dessert bar! Yum!

The night ended in an Italian wedding game…. feel the knees of a group of men and find your significant other. So funny!!!

Congratulations Alex and Angela! Here’s to forever!
