John and Lisa’s wedding yesterday at St. Monica Catholic Church and Finley Creek Vineyards was one of the most fun, beautiful, and well-organized weddings I’ve gotten to photograph this season. I loved getting to work with such a sweet couple as well as work with some of my favorite vendors again!

Magical Moments Event Planing created such a beautiful design for the reception that was a mix between a sailing theme and a fall theme, and Special Occasion Design by Chrissy filled the room with stunning florals.

John and Lisa were so laid back and stress-free which allowed for such a joyful and fun atmosphere at both their ceremony and reception. During portraits, even though it was freezing outside, the bridal party trusted me enough to step outside for most of our photos. We managed to find one tree at their ceremony venue, St. Monica Catholic Church, that still had some colorful leaves on it to create a beautiful fall vibe to their portraits.

At the reception, none of the guests were sitting down for too long. The live band, Blue Water Kings Band, had the crowd dancing the whole night, and this crowd loved to dance!

John and Lisa, you two are such a special couple, and I’m so grateful that I got to be a part of your incredible wedding day. I can’t wait to finish editing the rest of these photos! Until then, enjoy these sneak peaks from your day!
