Wedding Photos (Details)

We put so much time, energy and love into our wedding weekend!  I had wonderful friends and bridesmaids who helped me throughout the planning process and especially the wedding week!

I had a great friend who made the "Thank You" and "Better Together" signs for us - as well as our 22 table numbers!  She also collected lace scraps and ribbon throughout the year! THANK YOU EMILY!  They were sooo beautiful and captured the vintage and rustic look we were hoping for!

I had another awesome friend who got all of the candy for our candy buffet!  THANK YOU HEATHER!  She really took it to the next level and got so many different kinds of candy for us!

My dear friend, Denise helped with the coordination and decorating the day of!  She was able to take the reigns and delegate/troubleshoot and make sure everything ran smoothly!  THANK YOU!

My amazing Mom did so many things throughout the wedding planning and wedding week!  She wrote all of our messages on the chalkboards for us (her handwriting is awesome!)

My lovely bridesmaids were SOOO awesome!  They tied ribbon, handled a hot glue gun like crazy, baked and stuffed cookies, assembled hotel baskets for our guests, decorated, AND kept me calm and laughing! 

I collected all of my lanterns throughout the year - you can get great deals on sides like ruffledblog.com and https://www.tradesy.com/.  I also purchased pumpkins the week before to place throughout the venue.  I put pumpkins and lanterns EVERYWHERE!

To solidify the vintage, elegant-rustic feeling, I rented several items from a Rental Service in Atwater, CA.  We got married in Merced, CA - and Atwater is only a few minutes away.  Not only that - but Janae (through Valley Vintage Rentals) dropped the items off the day of the wedding and picked them up afterwards!  She was so awesome and even had extra time when she dropped them off to help with some of the decorating!  If anyone is getting married in the Central Valley (California) - I highly recommend to contact Janae at Valley Vintage Rentals (Click Here).

Here are some photos of the details!





Wedding Photos

Matt and I got married on October 4, 2014.  We loved our wedding and put a lot of detail, love and thought into the entire weekend!  We had an amazing photographer named Landon.  I found Landon through George Street Photography.  If you are planning a wedding, I highly recommend looking into George Street (click here for information on George Street Photography).  They were so professional, fun and extremely fast!

George Street had an awesome timeline and questionnaire for me to answer prior to the wedding.  This was very helpful at getting me to think of the order of the day as well as who needed to be present for the photos.

I also created a list of pictures I wanted to make sure were taken.  I had a friend carry this page around when we were taking pictures.  IT WAS SO HELPFUL!   My list wasn't too extensive or fancy (it was done in excel).  I will post it in the Wedding Tips section for future Brides.

Wedding pictures are one of the best memories we can take away from our wedding.  Even though we were married less than two months ago, I love looking at these photos!  It reminds me of my family and friends and the happiness/craziness of our Wedding Day!

Here are a few of my favorite pictures from our day!
