Monica and John are totally awesome people who I can’t help but completely love! They were married on Saturday, May 26th at Wilson Vineyards in Clarksburg, CA. The venue was beautiful! The vineyards looked so beautiful with the leaves green and gorgeous. I can’t even begin to tell you how much fun we had taking loads of pictures all over the grounds. It was awesome.

The ceremony was amazing. They started things off by walking down the aisle to AMAZING music! Monica and I are music twins. Seriously, when I saw she was walking down the aisle to a song by Rosie Thomas, I felt like I was at my best friends wedding! Then John and Monica exchanged personal vows (which John memorized, hello! How awesome is that?) that had references to “Grey’s Anatomy” and ESPN. They were SO cute! They followed their vows with a sand ceremony and then the BEST first kiss as husband and wife! I loved it.

After the ceremony we headed out to the vineyard for some wedding party and family pictures and then whisked the bride and groom off for some romantic pictures of just the two of them before we delivered them back to the party. There was GREAT food, even GREATER music,and loads of dancing.

When the bride and her dad danced I bawled my eyes out, and loved the look the groom had on his face as he watched his wife out on the dance floor. Then John and Monica took the floor for their first dance as husband and wife. It was beautiful! After dancing and toasting and boquet tossing and garter throwing and more dancing and loads of fun the bride and groom escaped in a Hummer and are now off to Maui for their honeymoon.

I am so grateful to Monica and John and their awesome family and friends for letting us come out and be a part of their big day! Thanks for all the fun guys! We loved your wedding as much as we love you… and that is A LOT!

I’ve put together their slideshow of the fun and amazing pictures we took together on Saturday. I hope it can capture just a fraction of the love and fun that surround Monica and John. They are awesome people and I’m so happy I got to be with them on their wedding day! Congratulations you two!!
