Coquelicot Winery: Los Olivos Wedding and Event Venue

Developed in 1999, the Coquelicot Estate Vineyard lies just south of the historic Mission Santa Ines in the Santa Ynez Valley on California’s Central Coast. This week, they opened their (90+ year old) barn doors and hosted a launch party with lots of fun event professionals from catering, event design, and florals, to rentals, music, entertainment, transportation, and desserts. My favorite part of the evening was drinking some delicious wine, tasting all the food, and going on a hayride through the vineyard! If you were at the event, I probably have a great picture of you… feel free to check out more images HERE. I’m looking forward to returning in a couple of weeks for Beth and Joe’s wedding day! 🙂

Emme & Rick’s Destination Wedding: Temecula

Emme and Rick had a beautiful wedding this past weekend at Ponte Winery in Temecula, CA. Emme is a clothing designer and Rick a firefighter/ aspiring wedding photographer and together they have a sweet little girl who is almost three years old. Most of the family and guests traveled from Ohio to celebrate their destination wedding. Planning her wedding from out of state, Emme had to rely on her instincts with many details of her day. The first moment we ever met in person was when I walked in the door to her bridal suite and she was smiles all day long. The wedding was intimate and everyone danced well into the night. I’m so honored to have been part of this special day.

Aurora & James: Married in San Juan Capistrano

sjphoto Wedding outdoor, rustic, wedding 0 Comments

I met Aurora and James a year ago as they started planning their September wedding. They would describe their vision as “Rustic Garden.” With a love of vibrant colors and lots of handmade details their wedding came together in a beautiful way that was truly unique and personal. One special thing Aurora and James did was have a special “first look” moment, where James was blindfolded and Aurora got to sneak a peek. This allowed them time to have a quite moment in prayer together and exchange their gifts for each other. Aurora was such a beautiful bride, smiling all day long! And James was also filled with tons of emotion. What a dream couple! Here’s some of my favorite images from their day!
