FROM THE BRIDE // I guess the saying is true, you “find love when you least expect it”. Although Dennie and I had met through mutual friends, neither of us 6 years ago, were looking to be in a long term relationship. With all the ups and downs, the experiences helped to mold what our relationship is today. It’s amazing looking back at how much we have grown together. He truly understands me and loves me for all my quirks.
Dennie has never been a romantic type of guy, nor one to be cliche; however, he really surprised me when he proposed on my 28th birthday. We took a morning hike with our dog Bowser and stopped at a bench to relax, when all of a sudden, a “selfie” became Dennie getting down on one knee. I cried uncontrollably and was so happy it finally happened after 5 years of being together. Now with 2017 around the corner, we’re very excited for the big day in only 5 months.

FROM THE BRIDE //
Thomas and I started off as roommates. The first day we met, there was a great level of comfort that we both instantly felt; as if we had already known each other for years. During the first year of us living together, we got to know one another very well; each other’s routines, interests, likes, dislikes, and of course, bad habits. There was definitely a strong and genuine friendship that had developed. At that time, it was nothing more; I was dating someone else and Thomas was beyond content with the bachelor-life.
It was at the tail-end of our first year of living together that things took a turn. One night, after coming home from Christmas shopping, Thomas asked if we could talk. He looked nervous; as his arms were crossed, his hands started to shake. I was a bit concerned. It was then that he asked me the one question that I never thought he would ask; “How would you feel about going on a date with me?” It was completely unexpected. It took me a little while to realize what had just happened. I eventually came to find out that Thomas discovered his feelings towards me during a boy’s surfing trip to Costa Rica. “I was thinking of you and I missed you,” he said. (Admittedly– there was always a part of me that would think about our compatibility.) Three years later (December 2014), he proposed on Christmas day; just around the time that he first asked me out on a first date. As anyone would imagine, it was a Christmas that I will always cherish.

FROM THE BRIDE // When planning our wedding, Jason and I wanted our day to be full of romance and beauty. It was easy for us to choose our venue, because we love the look of classic estate garden parties and we both love the feel and whimsy of 1940’s fashion. Immediately, we both fell in love with the vintage garden feel that the Garden Patio at Calamigos Ranch had to offer. We knew it was our day and we wanted it have a beautiful classic feel with a little bit of hollywood glamour mixed in.
When looking back at our day, I remember walking down the aisle most vividly. Jason and I had decided that we wanted to wait to see one another until we met at the alter. It was exhilarating to see my soon-to-be husband standing under a beautiful arbor full of flowers and fabric tearing up. As my dad walked me down the aisle I could see all of my friends and family smiling and tears of joy welling in their eyes. They could all feel the true love in the air!
We were very interested in having the best photographers that captured our personalities. We wanted our day to be told as a story without words. We wanted our images to not only give you a sense of sight but a feeling when you saw them. The best part about our photographers is the simplicity behind their images. I loved that every moment was documented and that we were able to see our true emotions and love for one another without feeling like we were pushed and pulled in 100 directions. I loved that everything was not posed and just very effortless the photography made you feel something and i loved the way they help capture memories that tell a story.
My biggest and best advice for anyone planning a wedding is to make your wedding day the most beautiful wedding you have ever seen! The day goes by so fast and you don’t really want to miss any moment. Even though it is an investment make the details count because you will appreciate that your day was the most perfect day of your life. Your guests will love you no matter what, but I am so happy that we spent the time to make everything as big as my dreams. Also make sure you have fun and remember everyone is there for you and you husband.
