This wedding left me breathless. It was seriously jaw-dropping gorgeous from head-to-toe, and I am SO excited to share Jeff + Jamie’s most beautiful wedding day with you here today! 
 
These two married on a warm summer day, in the bride’s hometown of Merced, surrounded by all their friends and family who came from near and far to see these two commit their lives and forever to each other. From the minute I arrived, the day had a special air to it. it didn’t feel like just a celebration…it felt like family. Warm, inviting, filling the room with celebration and laughter and tears. All woven together like a basket, in love and support.  
 
Jeff and Jamie, I couldn’t be more honored and filled with joy to have documented your wedding day which may be the reason this is my BIGGEST post ever! Hope you enjoy a few of my favorites!

A beautiful love note sent to his bride-to-be as she got ready to go to the church…
Jamie, you are a stunning bride…
The gorgeous bride and all her beautiful bridesmaids….
It was so fun to capture Jamie with her three sisters, especially since I am one of four girls too!
Probably one of my favorite images on right of Jamie’s dad taking her to the church…
The beautiful setting for cocktail hour was STUNNING!
Jeff and Jamie put together THE most insanely amazing dessert bar for their guests, complete with everything from cupcakes to cookies and even popcorn!
It was so pretty you almost didn’t want to eat it!
Just before dinner, we snuck away with the bride and groom for a few portraits…
These two couldn’t be a more beautiful couple!
One of my favorites!
After portraits, guests settled in for a yummy dinner provided by Bella Luna Bistro
Probably one of the sweetest little details I’ve ever seen…little aprons for all their nieces and nephews to wear for the Italian dinner. How sweet is that?!?
After the sunset, it was time for dancing!!! It was one the dance floor several years ago these two first felt sparks for each other, and you could feel the same love between them as they shared their first dance together on their wedding day…
Love this one of Jeff sharing a dance with his sweet mom!
And the celebration continued with a memorable father daughter dance and everyone having fun on the dance floor!
Jamie’s niece serenaded Jeff and Jamie by singing ‘Can You Feel the Love Tonight’ ….the same song Jamie sang at a wedding when she was her nieces age. The sweetest thing…
I’ll end with this one…of the newlyweds sharing the spotlight on the dance floor…a place where their souls first met. Wishing you two a lifetime of love, happiness and lots and lots of DANCING!
