ELEVATED PHOTOGRAPHY FOR MODERN WOMEN BY WOMEN

We rounded up Lauren and Erik for a few couple portraits at their Kunde Winery wedding before we headed to their outdoor reception. We couldn’t wait to see what Lauren had planned for their casual, yet elegant wedding celebration!

Crisp white paper lanterns hung from the overhanging branches to help create height in this tree made ‘venue’ and were a great complement to the bright white chairs. The lush floral arrangements were set it various style glasses, creating a sophisticated eclectic feel at this Kunde Winery outdoor wedding reception.

We were loving these muted green tones of the succulents that were incorporated into each floral arrangement. It was a great pairing for the beautiful color palette that exists in the wine country valley we were nestled within for Lauren and Erik’s Kunde Winery celebration.

Live music helped the guests get in the mood for partying. Soon we would celebrate the happy couple as Lauren and Erik made their way towards the dance floor!

More lush pinks and fuchsias accented each table, completely with a variety of green leaves to make those pinks pop.

The amount of support Lauren and Erik had from their family and friends in attendance was overwhelming and heartwarming. The guests look on lovingly as the newlyweds sway on the dance floor.

The sun begins to set and the moon rises over the hilltops.

The dancing begins with Lauren leading the way into the night!

The twinkle lights created a beautiful ambiance and perfectly lit up this Kunde Winery wedding reception.

Guests were asked to take a photo and leave a note using Lauren and Erik’s instant polaroid camera in lieu of a traditional guestbook. An antique mailbox was set out for guests to put their cards of well wishes in for safekeeping while the bride and groom enjoy the rest of their Kunde Winery wedding night.

This wedding was all but traditional. We loved the masquerade masks floating around the reception, and the option of the couple’s favorite pies rather than a traditional cake.

The bonfire was roaring and we witnessed the groom himself toasting up something special!

Rather than a cake cutting, Lauren and Erik shared a s’more together! So fun!

We can’t thank these beautiful two enough for inviting us into their lives as their wedding photographer, and wish them all of the love and happiness in the world for their lives together. ♥
