Nicole and Rob's DIY Travel Inspired Backyard Wedding

Here is the thing with Nicole and Rob – I could probably write an epic novel to describe how much I love them.  No, seriously – EPIC NOVEL!  Nicole and Rob are fun and inspiring and just flat out wonderful.  I can’t thank Summer and Greg enough for bringing them into the SMP family.  I was actually GIDDY as we drove down to Los Gatos for their wedding.  I knew it would be a day full of love and lots of laughs and surprises.  From the second we arrived it was non-stop happiness as we went through getting ready, first look, friend portraits, a quick snack break at a falafal drive-in (because, OF COURSE WE DID!), to a perfect ceremony at the San Jose Rose Garden followed by a night of fun (including La Hora Loca that I kind of want to make mandatory for all of my couples now) in Summer’s parents luscious backyard in Los Gatos. Every detail was infused with what make Nicole and Rob’s relationship so special.  They LOVE to travel, so their were maps everywhere from pinwheels to paper chains, the bar was even set up to look like an airplane cabin.  Instead of giving favors, they donated to various charities in their guests honor and even let their guests choose one of three charities.  Best of all, they had a taco truck catering the whole thing.  We all know how I feel about tacos. Nicole and Rob didn’t miss a detail, and I am so very happy I got the be the one to record it all for them.  Take a peek at their delightful wedding day – and then wish you’d been there too… because you will.

Nicole sent me this awesome email from freaking SouthEast Asia (where she and Rob are on an EPIC 72 day honeymoon) when she finally found a fast enough internet connection to see the pictures.  I won’t lie, it made me a crack a BIG ol’ grin.
