Rachel loves Mike
We shot a fantastic wedding Sunday at the Harvest Inn in St. Helena. Mike & Rachel are a super fun & talented couple, who not only hosted a weekend long celebration for all their friends and family — but finished off the wedding reception by performing “Forever Young” for their parents. Mike was a keyboard player in a band after college back in New York, and Rachel has a gorgeous singing voice. It was so sweet watching them serenade their parents.
The perfectly designed festivities were planned by the dynamic duo from A Savvy Event. We cant wait to work with Kelly & Emarie again! It was such a gorgeous day, from the hundreds (if not thousands) of chocolate cosmos and hydrangeas everywhere, to the candleabras hanging from the oak trees.
There were two incredible cakes by Inticing Creations. The bride & groom are avid world travelers, so one cake was a custom creation of stacked luggage. And the groom’s cake – which Mike had a really really hard time cutting – was of Mr. Met himself.
We also got to spend their rehearsal dinner with them at the Cuvaison Wine Caves, where we enjoyed ourselves so much, we ended up leaving with a case of wine!
And how can you not love a bride who gets married in not just any old Manolos – but a pair often seen on the uber glam gal Carrie Bradshaw?! Rachel has great taste all around: in her shoes, her dress, her location, her caterer, her coordinators, her cake – but especially her man! We wish them the best and cant wait to watch their life together unfold.
