Richard and Dee

Richard and Dee’s wedding day at King Family Vineyards was nothing short of magical in every way…I loved getting to capture all of her plans coming together and I loved seeing them so happy as they enjoyed the day with friends and family! It was such a joy filled and romantic celebration…there were so many beautiful, organic details with lots of greenery…Leann of Whimsical Florals did an incredible job bringing the vision to life. I told Dee that she is my style twin and that just made working with her even more fun! She is amazing! I don’t think photographing romantic winery weddings will ever get old…they have this sort of laid back yet elegant at the same time type of vibe. Which is super fitting for Dee too! I love her go with the flow type of attitude and her love for life and people truly shines through her personality…

When I think about Dee and Richard’s wedding day, I can’t help but feel incredibly grateful….grateful that I get to be a part of such sweet celebrations like this one, grateful that I get to witness couples promising forever to each other, and grateful that I get to know such amazing friends and family members…Dee lost her dad a few years back and when a bride has gone through that experience I always feel a special bond with them since I lost my dad too soon too…she honored him so perfectly on the day and I know that he would be so proud of her and Richard. It was clear through the toasts from friends and family that these two are so very loved by everyone who knows them. It’s very easy to see why…they are caring and kind and so much fun to be around! I’m so blessed that I got to know them through this experience and will forever feel honored that they chose me to capture this sweet season in their lives!

I’m so excited to get to share these today…I had the hardest time narrowing these down because I had way too many favorites!! I hope you enjoy them! Congratulations again, Dee and Richard! Sending SO much love to you two!!
