I am so EAGER to share this wedding! This day was so lovely. This day was so perfect. The day was SO not what they planned…
Sweet Kate planned a beautiful spring time wedding full of grays and yellows and California sunshine…. but California gave her snow! IN APRIL! It was completely unexpected! But my goodness, was it a dream! As Steve and I drove up to the Barn at Rileys Farms our jaws hit the floor and never came back up! I’m thankful to have photos to tell the story because my words are failing me now. Just beautiful. That’s really all I can say. Especially Kate, ohmygoodness was she beautiful.
Kate & Jared chose to do a first look and it was (can you guesss?) BEAUTIFUL. Jared lit up and chuckled once he saw his bride. Such sweetness!Everything was BEAUTIFUL.
The handsome groomsmen sported different ties…And the bridesmaids wore mis-matched sweaters! LOVE.Brier Rose Design, you did an impeccable job with the florals. I mean, a BEAUTIFUL job!
MARRIED!!!
The Family Tree at the reception…
This next photo cracks me up! What a supportive little dancer!
Kate’s sweet grandmother made them a quilt using all of the fabrics Kate hand selected for her wedding. It came in handy! Burrrrr!
Kate you’re gorgeous. I was so impressed by your care free attitude and, dang dude, you were a CHAMP in that snow!
Jared, you’re a handsome and blessed man! I love you both! Let’s double date soon and talk about how BEAUTIFUL your wedding was!
