Aww… We are constantly reminded why we love our job so very much! Rachelle sent me these images from a wedding she had a couple weeks ago and I instantly fell in love! I never met the couple, but their wedding pictures give a glimpse into who they are and how much love they have for each other! Enjoy as Rachelle tells about Lindsey & James’ wedding! 

Lindsey + James, May 22nd, 2010

In true Spring fashion, May 22nd was full of both sunshine and raindrops! Lindsey and James reside in Northern California and are one of the sweetest couples I’ve met! Their vision for their wedding day was relaxed and joyful, yet classy and romantic. Lindsey was a true visionary with her DIY projects: Collecting all of the milk glass vases and all of the stationery was done herself. Michelle of Goose Hollow Gardens filled these vases with beautiful Spring blooms to compliment the grey, green, and lavender palate. Each centerpiece was unique!

Gracie’s at Hotel Deluxe was the perfect setting for an intimate dinner party reception, and the food was enough to impress any gourmet enthusiast! Keeping with tradition from his hometown [England] James requested Jutta of La Jaconde construct a wedding cake that was part American, and part British. One layer was a traditional wedding fruitcake, and the other layers were Pear with Amaretto- Yum!!

Aside from a couple of raindrops at the Rose Gardens during their formal photos, the day was flawless and beautiful—it was apparent that Lindsey and James are surrounded by very loving and kind family and friends! I’m so happy that we had the very talented Koes & Lindsey of Koes Bong Photography capturing all of the special moments! Cheers Lindsey & James!
