Guys, it's a little "chilly" here today...so I thought I would feature a charming fall wedding sent to me by the oh-so-sweet and amazingly talented photographer, Ann Hamilton. Shannon & Simon are our featured couple and their wedding took place last October at Healdsburg Country Gardens in Healdsburg, CA. Shannon & Simon's wedding was so very charming and Ann truly captured their wedding story...I love the rich jewel tones of this wedding and the venue was "picture perfect"....Enjoy!

Jennifer Dery Photography

I am so excited to have as TBC's featured guest the wonderful and amazing talented photography of Jennifer Dery. Jennifer's beautiful images tells the couples story in the most romantic and charming way....Jennifer sent me the beautiful images of Julie & Heath's wedding. She shares their story with us.....Enjoy!

"Julie & Heath were married at the beautiful Ponte Winery in Temecula, CA. You might expect a wedding for an NFL football player (Heath plays for the Minnesota Vikings) to be a big overdone event, but Julie and Heath kept it down to earth and relaxed. Everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed the chance to "catch up and chill"! Julie's beautiful dress is from Alvina Valenta and it fit her "like a glove"....in a very good way....she was amazing to photograph! I really loved the light in the bridal ready room...the images of Julie getting her veil adjusted is one of my favorites. The beautiful florals were designed by Kathy Wright & Co...they were so elegant but yet understated."

Our beautiful couple....Julie & Heath!

Julie is so beautiful and her dress is gorgeous!

Such a charming bouquet!

I agree with Jennifer....this is a beautiful shot of Julie!

Thanks Jennifer for sharing such beautiful images with us and thanks to Julie and Heath....come back later guys for Part II...the reception decor!
