Matt and Ida are high school sweethearts who dated for 10 years before their wedding at Thomas Fogarty Winery! They share multiple hobbies and an adorable dog named Cash. Due to COVID, Matt and Ida had to postpone their wedding. Accordingly, their guest list fluctuated from 150 to 75 and back again. Through all of the uncertainty and tough decisions, the strength of their bond was so apparent!
The couple wanted to get married at a venue with breathtaking scenery, and Thomas Fogarty Winery fit the bill. Of all the venues they visited, it was by far their favorite! This picturesque venue overlooks the Damiana Chardonnay vineyard and offers panoramic views for miles. As soon as guests arrived, they were in awe of the beautiful space.
In order to take advantage of the natural beauty of Woodside, the couple chose to exchange their vows on the winery’s ceremony lawn. It sits atop the Santa Cruz Mountains and offers an unparalleled view of the valley. They also selected a natural color palette to highlight the colors of the winery. Ida’s bridesmaids wore satiny sage green dresses, while the men wore dark blue tuxedos.
As she walked down the aisle, Ida looked stunning in the Archie gown by Made With Love Bridal. The sophisticated sheath gown was draped in French crepe and featured an eye-catching cowl back and button detail. It gracefully hugged every curve, while still being a timeless choice. Additionally, she carried a handpicked bouquet filled to the brim with local blooms and the most remarkable cream dahlias I’ve ever seen! Mauve roses, ranunculus, and wildflowers accented the dahlias to compose the perfect summer bouquet.
Following the ceremony, the bride and groom snuck away to take portraits in the setting sun. Meanwhile, their guests enjoyed a cocktail hour atop the venue’s pavilion, which offered even more incredible views. The couple’s reception also take place in the pavilion and featured minimal and elegant tabletop details, including pleated votive candles.
I just adore this couple, and I was so honored to capture their special day! I am booking through 2022 and 2023, so reach out and tell me all about your unique love story!
