The wedding that almost wasn’t!

We often hear of wedding horror stories but how ’bout this one… not but a few weeks before a wedding the venue that you had booked for months burns to the ground…

Could you imagine? all the planning and effort and then have it all gone, up in flames. And to be told by your dad who was with the fire department and on scene watching it burn…

Well this is exactly what happened to Stephanie and Aaron. You locals may remember hearing about the fire at Rancho de Corrales. It was a total loss and what seemed like a total loss for Stephanie and Aaron.

But after some searching and some good local businesses taking care of our own, these two had a beautiful wedding/reception at two beautiful venues!

The ceremony took place in the 1629 club at the Casa Rondena Winery. And the reception held at Vernon’s Hidden Valley Steakhouse. Yes the wedding ended up being a bit smaller than originally planned for but it only meant that those closest to Stephanie and Aaron were able to share this truly beautiful wedding.

We enjoyed working with these two so much that we used them as models for a styled shoot we did late this last fall for a new wedding venue near old town. Those images will be posted soon as well!!!

a quick note on the images, Stephanie had a vision for the formal pictures for her wedding. She wanted an old Hollywood feel to them? I think we were able to realize her visions!!!
