A year and a half ago, my best friend called me to tell me that he was going to propose to his girlfriend and asked me to photograph it. I immediately freaked out and then got to planning how we could trick Nicole into the best proposal ever. And if you’ve seen their proposal and the photos from that day, you’ll know what an amazing, magical, and special day that was. Alex knocked it out of the park by surprising her with a picnic over the vineyards with both their families and it was just perfection. Fast forward two years and my favorite two favorite people tied the knot at the beautiful Jacuzzi Family Vineyards, and their wedding day was just as amazing, magical, and incredibly special as well. Alex, the mastermind behind Quintana Events, designed every single aspect of the day to perfection, and his amazing team executed the perfect day for the perfect couple (Did I mention that it was perfect?!). Jacuzzi Family Vineyards provided a beautiful backdrop for their touching ceremony, followed by cocktails in the vineyard, and dinner in the italian-inspired courtyard under the setting sun. After a delicious dinner by Park Avenue Catering, the couple welcomed their guests into the barrel room, which was transformed into the most stunning dance floor I’ve ever seen. The lounge areas by Rion Designs were the perfect mix of modern elegance and wine country chic, and the lighting by Illusion Designs created a romanic, peaceful glow over the party. Like I said, I’m obsessed with their wedding.
Alex and Nicole, I love you two so much and I’m so blessed to have witnessed your love and dedication to each other. I can’t wait to go on married dates, camping trips, Park City adventures, and make our kids be best friends too. It’s very apparently from your supportive community that you two are extremely loved and pretty incredible people, and I feel so lucky to be your friend and one of your biggest supporters. Thank you for letting me be a part of your celebration and CONGRATULATIONS on the most beautiful wedding day ever!!
