And just like that, my 2018 wedding season comes to a sweet and beautiful close.
Will & Lauren were married in front of two dozen people closest to them on a brisk, sunny day at Allegretto Vineyard Resort. Even though I only met them for the first time that day, I knew instantly that they were my kind of people — a pair of quirky lovebirds with a raw sense of humor who love love LOVE to laugh together.
Chris & Kim’s love story started when they first locked eyes in a bar in France. They’ve spent their entire relationship living on different continents, and as of last week they FINALLY get to share a country and a home together. Their wedding was filled to the brim with laughter, undying love & support from all their closest friends & family, and good wine.

Fourteen years. That’s how long these two darlings have been together. Which means they’ve been doing life and love together for nearly half my lifetime. So it’s safe to say that every person at their wedding was over the moon to see this day finally happen.
I’d like to go on record and say that The Grace Maralyn Estate & Gardens wins all of the sunset prizes. Just as the sun started to sink into the hills, we were joined by two powerfully beautiful horses. They worked the camera, messed up Gina’s hair, and even tried to eat her dress once or twice — and it was MAGICAL. See for yourself.

As my favorite season starts showing itself through falling leaves and changing weather, it could not be a more perfect time to share this wickedly fun inspiration shoot I dreamed up with some fellow creatives — a styled shoot inspired by the mystical feels and dark vibes of Harry Potter.
If you know me at all, you know that I can often be found with my nose in a book. And not just any book, always some sort of fantastical fiction where my world melts away and I disappear into lands far away from here where magical things are possible. Like the enchanting world of Harry Potter………
