Fabulous wedding photography but not a bomboniere box in sight on this blog entry.From the beginning, Ben and I knew that we wanted an outdoor wedding. As California natives, we live for sunshine and fresh air. When we found Chateau LaJoye, we instantly fell in love with the property and its owner, Joanne. The venue is in an intimate, natural setting, nestled between the rolling hills of the northern California coast. Confident in Joanne’s experience and hands-on personality, we moved our wedding up 8 months so we could get married in October, the most beautiful time of year in this part of California. Most important to us was creating a day where we could celebrate and have fun with our closest friends and family. We did not want a cookie-cutter wedding and much of our focus was on adding elements that reflected our personalities. Our unconventional side made its first appearance when our two-year-old labs, Duke and Duchess, came down the aisle as our ring bearer and flower girl. Duke wore a bowtie and carried the rings (the real ones!) on a pillow of Kermit mums strapped to his back, while Duchess wore a collar made of flowers. A close friend played our favorite song, “Tonight, Tonight” by the Smashing Pumpkins, on an acoustic guitar alongside a violinist and cellist for our processional. After the ceremony, we wanted to set the tone for the reception with some light-hearted fun: fake mustaches for the group photo!See all the images here
