Lovely Lavender Bouquets at a Springtime Hilltop Wedding

Photographer's Remarks

"James + Stephanie held their wedding on Easter Weekend in the rolling hills of Edna Valley, which is known for their vineyards & sweeping views. "Spreafico Farms is a family owned & operated ranch, but they open their doors to weddings & events on the weekends. James & Stephanie chose Spreafico not only because of the gorgeous 360 degree views of Edna Valley's rolling hills from the ceremony site, but mostly because the Spreafico Family was just so personal. "Having a wedding at their venue is like being at a friend's house. There's no stuffy-venue feel with supervisors monitoring your guests, but instead a sweet family that is doing anything & everything to help your day go off without a hitch. "This was a destination wedding for the couple since James & his family are from Southern California & Stephanie is a mid west girl. They had 70 guests in attendance which kept the vibe intimate & really gave the whole day a very down-to-earth, comfortable feel. Almost like a large family dinner! "Everyone was having so much fun the whole day -- the bridesmaids moonwalked backwards into their positions at the ceremony & the open dancing was kicked off by Stephanie & James + their wedding party doing a flash mob -- A FLASH MOB. Like seriously, how fun is that?! "The decor choices were simple and spring-inspired with wildflower-esque arrangements, lavender garlands, & fairy lit mason jars. Stephanie's father water-colored the place cards & seating chart (that hold a great significance to Stephanie & James and milestones in their relationship)."
