Our lovely bride got into her wedding dress with some helping hands, and the future Mr. and his groomsmen protected the rings.

August in San Francisco is perfect for an outdoor wedding, which is exactly what Tiffany and Arthur had. And the Presidio offers sweeping views of San Francisco, which makes the perfect backdrop to any wedding.

Everyone said, “YES!”

Before heading in for dinner and drinks the newlyweds, along with their wedding party, had some fun in the afternoon sun.

The General’s Residence was decorated amazingly and Tiffany and Arthur had a selection of fantastic food for their guests. This place is really a lovely wedding venue, with classic style, and, of course, those views!

Once everyone had a chance to have a cocktail and find a their places, friends and family took turns cheerfully roasting the new couple. And, we’re talking roasting! I’m not allowed to share any details…

But, who could forget the cake? Especially this cake!

Then, the newlyweds had a their first dance, the new Mrs. ducked out for a dress change, and the party got started!

Our new Mr. couldn’t help jumping for joy at the end of the day. Congratulations, Tiffany and Arthur!

After reading a special note from the future hubby, Sabrina snuck up on him for a quick pre-wedding visit. They enjoyed a stroll around the venue before heading back for the ceremony. Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery features vineyards as well as a grove of olive trees.

Mom wanted a big hug before the wedding, and the bridesmaids gathered together before walking the aisle.

Ruby Hill Winery was ready for a wedding.  With limestone arches and expansive windows, the venue is a perfect setting for a wedding. It really is a Mediterranean oasis in the middle of the Livermore Valley. Our happy couple had unique personal touches around the place that welcomed guests – and a candy bar!

Then it was time for a wedding! The ceremony was lovely and before they knew it, our happy couple were married!

After the ceremony, the new Mr. and Mrs. took a stroll through the vineyards while guests mingled and enjoyed cocktails. The vineyard comes with outstanding catering and dedicated staff ready to meet the needs of brides and grooms.

Then it was time for first dances and toasting…

After a father-daughter dance, everyone hit the dance floor. The whole family enjoyed taking a spin and enjoying a great time. Congratulations, Sabrina and Austin!

Our happy couple was ready for fun in the sun – as well as a wedding. After the rehearsal, there was a bonfire on the beach and steel drum music for dancing.

The next day was wedding day and the girls were pampered with hair and make-up…

Kristen was glowing and the boys were ready and waiting.

Here comes the bride! It was a beautiful day to get married in Montego Bay. The Iberostar has a secluded spot for beach weddings, making the ceremony a truly special event.

After the wedding we had some fun with a few group shots on the beach – no shoes required!

The newlyweds went for a short stroll around the grounds of the resort and snuck a few smooches.

Guests gathered for dinner, dancing, and cake, of course!

But that’s not all! The next day, Kristen and Matt wanted to do something really special – a trash the dress session! Before getting started, our newlyweds took a few moments to bask in the grandness of the Iberostar Resort. This place knows how to treat guests like royalty.

After a stroll on the beach, it was time to totally trash that dress…

And the pool was the perfect place for doing just that!

Congratulations, Kristen and Matt!

Kristen and Matt were married at the Iberostar Rose Hall Resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Our bride was looking lovely and, while getting ready, was snuck a note sharing how much her future hubby loved his cufflinks.

After reading his note, and before getting into her dress, our bride opened a few gifts from John. Let’s just say that the spoon is from their house – and there’s a cute story behind it. After everyone enjoyed a good laugh, and our bride finished dressing, it was time for a quick visit with her future husband before the wedding.

 Here’s John’s reaction to Jessica as she descended the grand staircase at Ralston Hall…

The couple took a walk around Ralston Hall enjoying the quit corners and stunning architecture. The hall will be closed for renovations, making sure that its charm remains intact for future weddings to come.

Our happy couple had tons of flowers and unique and personal touches around Ralston Hall for guests to enjoy before the ceremony. The mansion has lush gardens, outdoor courtyards, and a grand ballroom perfect for big or small weddings.

Here comes the bride! The ceremony went perfectly, and John sure knows how to seal the deal…

Then it was time for guests to gather for drinks, dinner, toasts, and first dances.

Congratulations, Jessica and John!
