California Vineyard Portraits

“I didn’t meet Jake until I was a freshman in college. The first time we met was in April of 2011. I was in a relationship with someone else, so I noticed him but didn’t really pay much attention to him. Then a few days before the start of my sophomore year, on September 5, 2011, Kristin asked me to go to the Orange Street Fair with her. She mentioned Jake and his friends would be there and we could all meet up. The minute we met up with him, there was an instant connection. I felt so comfortable and at ease talking to him. After that we talked every day and were completely inseparable. It’s been almost 6 years and I’m so thankful that Kristin saw something between us and took the initiative to set us up. My favorite thing about my relationship with Jake is how much he makes me laugh. We’ve spent plenty of nights sitting on the couch laughing about the silliest things that only we would get, and sometimes I will actually cry from how funny he is. We also have the best communication. We talk about absolutely everything, and we aren’t afraid to share how we feel.Jake proposed to me at Disneyland in the middle of the crowd and it was a complete surprise. He was able to capture my exact vision and when I approached him in the crowd I couldn’t help but cry with tears of joy that this is it. This is our time. After that we scheduled an engagement session and took to the hills of wine county in Temecula. We paraded up and down the vineyards, we smiled through the sunset, and we kissed each time more and more excited to make our love official.We decided not to waste any time getting married. Our wedding will be on July 29, 2017. Our venue is a beautiful estate owned by a friend in Temecula wine country. Surrounded by 360° views of our city and beautiful greenery, we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate with 200 of our closest friends and family. Our colors are taupe and navy, with gold and wooden accents throughout and I cant wait to watch our dream come true.”
