Real Wedding: Nora & Gordon
When the bride, Nora, hired me for this July 3rd wedding, I knew I was in for a treat. She was spunky but laid back and decisive yet inquisitive. This was my first wedding at a winery so I was very excited to get the experience being surrounded by beautiful vineyards. The groom, Gordon is in the industry of working for a major wine producer so it was extremely fitting that the wedding was held at South Coast Winery. The bride expressed to me that they had guests that were really fun and they really wanted to have a great party to commemorate their love. We certainly achieved that.
We began with a ceremony at the Rose Arbor and then moved the cocktail hour and reception to the Courtyard. At a certain point in the evening (due to noise ordinances) all of the vendors pitched in and moved the DJ equipment into the Barrel Room, almost seamlessly. No worries there, the party continued without a hitch. It was a great event and it was a pleasure working with the couple and all parties involved.
Taken prior to the ceremony...these two are so adorable.
Lovely pre-wedding photos!
The ceremony was held on the beautiful Rose Arbor Lawn.
It was only fitting that the tables were named after different varieties of wine.
Love this first dance photo. The couple danced to Adele's "Make You Feel My Love"
Wishing Nora & Gordon lifelong love and happiness!

Real Wedding: Shana & Todd
Shana and Todd came to us with a clear vision in mind. They were planning a wedding! Yes, we know, that's what we do, that is the business we are in, wedding planning! What was slightly different is that the total guest count would be 5 (including the bride & groom). Yes, you read that correctly F-I-V-E! When we heard that, we instantly knew we had to assist in planning this wedding. The thought of such an intimate affair was so heart warming and exciting.
It was so much fun collaborating with the vendors and the bride & groom on how everything would take place. The couple knew right away that they would hold the reception dinner at their favorite restaurant. They are regulars at the Wine Vault & Bistro and the owners and employees know them by name. It was an awesome experience.
Shana knew that she wanted everything to tie together so she made sure that her guests (her brother and future in-laws) were all color coordinated with the wedding, which consisted of white and teal.

I love this photo! The bride stayed at the Manchester Grand Hyatt. There in the background, hangs a painting of Alcazar Gardens, same place as her wedding ceremony. Uncanny!
Such a beautiful and classic photo!
Todd was very much involved in the wedding planning and was so excited to be marrying his beautiful bride!
These bells were the perfect touch for the ceremony. Balboa Park has bells that ring every 15 minutes so it was a fitting match.
Just weeks before the garden was pretty barren, everything bloomed just in time to create a beautiful ambiance for the intimate ceremony.
ONe of my favorite details of this wedding was the bagpiper leading the family in a parade to the Prado for cocktails prior to heading over to the dinner reception at the Wine Vault & Bistro.
Shana's brother so wonderfully coordinated with the color scheme of the wedding.
It was a real joy & pleasure working with this couple. They went on to have two additional wedding celebrations in Lewiston & Holyoke!
We wish Shana & Todd lifelong love and happiness!
