Al Fresco Wine Country Wedding with Pressed Greenery

Sonoma Valley wedding al fresco reception with market lights and bride and groom

What’s the one thing you want your guests to take away from your big day? Is it the heartfelt vows, the family style feast, the killer dance party, the dreamy views? Well for Lauren and John, their guests took away all these things and more. It should come as no shock to you that a wine country wedding will boast an unforgettable play on the senses – picturesque views being at the top of list! We love the way L+J shared a tender moment of togetherness, just the two of them, before their al fresco ceremony. We love the way they welcomed their guests with curated boxes of local treats. And we love the way they brought a chic, uplifting flair to an already inspiring landscape. Let’s mosey through the gallery together, shall we?

From the photographer, Elizabeth Fogarty: We are super excited to share Lauren + John’s wedding with an al fresco dinner reception! Some of my favorite aspects of their wedding include:

-The pressed greenery used in both their table numbers and escort card wall, which was a guest favorite!
-How they read their vows after their first look so they could have a private moment. Neither of them likes to be the center of attention.
-The incredibly heartfelt ceremony and speeches. They held each other after the first kiss and Lauren totally lost it during speeches.
-An after dinner gelato treat for the guests to enjoy… the best way to end the night!
