Wedding Wednesday: Nicole and Steven's Wedding

Happy Wedding Wednesday to you all! I am happy to share with you a stunning winter wedding with you. Nicole and Steven got married at Rancho Valencia, which was very dear to their hearts as Nicole's father is highly involved in the property. Nicole and Steven were so much fun to work with. I also had the bonus of working with Nicole's Dad as he wanted to be involved and even had a organized wedding binder! How cute is that. :) I don't often get to work with the Dad's as much, and it was a refreshing treat.

The night was kick-started with a pre-cocktail hour followed by a very romantic candle light ceremony. Guests then walked down the illuminated walkway with tray passed drinks and apps along the path, all the way down to the cocktail hour in the fountain courtyard. The reception was the big bang of the night! We had The Wayne Foster Band as the starting act, and as always they got everyone's attention. The couples first dance was a choreographed "exact" version of the Dirty Dancing - dance. It was amazing. We had people standing on chairs so they could snap away as it was such an incredible dance. The food was to die for, the flowers were stunning, the lightening was warm and inviting and the dance floor was packed! It was truly an incredible night!

Oh, and the 10pm cut off time in the tent was not going to stop us. We had an after party in the downstairs room with an incredible DJ, sliders and fries and more drinks!

Be sure to look at all the below pictures, as the last few I just had to share. Studio Castillero did an incredible job capturing this epic moment! Moral of the story - If you are going to try flying dance moves wear "glittery undies"! :)
