Connie and Chris’s Meritage Resort wedding was an intimate gathering, relaxed, and full of love and fun. The event was orchestrated by the amazing Jessica Kerns of So Eventful. The timing of the day was pretty relaxed so Connie and Chris wanted to take as much advantage as they could with creative portraits around the Meritage Resort. The ceremony was short and sweet, and kicked off as Chris welcomed his guests up to the Vineyard Terrace to take their seats. We spent a little more time with portraits in that oh-so-golden hour and took a little peek inside the wine cave where they’d soon be having their dinner reception and dancing. It was gorgeous: warmed and accented by the lovely arrangements by Bella Vita Event Productions; lit beautifully by the DJ and lighting specialists from Crystal Clear. After a couple wonderful toasts, we snuck out during dinner to do a portrait and managed to capture the full moon through the moving clouds in what is sure to be one of my favorite portraits of 2015. They finished out the night with a traditional cake cutting of a somewhat untraditional ice-cream cake and dancing. Check out some of my favorite images from their wedding below:
