RJ & Jamie
The Details

RJ and Jamie’s wedding was romantic in every way.

From the muted colors to the lace detailing of Jamie’s dress – it all seemed to deliver a vintage vibe. The 1940s Chevy solidified the class and elegance of the day. But RJ and Jamie, though full of class, kept things fun too. They played with their wedding date 4/20 as you’ll see with the groomsmen socks. They gave their pet pugs bow ties! RJ had mustache cufflinks and a tailored suit paired with Chuck Taylors. There was a constant playfulness to all aspects of their wedding details. And that is so RJ and Jamie!

Those are some of our favorite details, but take a look and enjoy! You can also see more of RJ and Jamie here.

Below is the group of vendors that added to all the fun and prettiness of the day.

RJ+Jamie
Wedding at
Rios-Lovell Winery

RJ stood in his hotel room adjusting his tie and making sure his hair was fixed to perfection. Tying up his chucks, he couldn’t wait to get on the dance floor. That’s their spot – the dance floor. But that night, they’d be dancing together as husband and wife.

Though the dance floor may have been his final destination, anyone could see how eager he was to promise his life to Jamie, his lover and best friend. Vowing forever was what he and Jamie were ready to do. And the smiles on their faces leading up to the ceremony reflected just how excited they both were.

Through tears and laughter, Jamie and RJ said “I do.” I half expected them to dance down the aisle during the recessional, but they walked out, side by side, hand in hand, smiling from ear to ear. RJ and Jamie were married.

Baby Got Back

baby-got-back

It is quite possible that I’m going to regret posting this image, but it’s just too funny not to.

This is what happens when your photographers are a husband and wife team. Every time I go to cull the images, I find pictures that Vitaliy has taken of me, or more specifically, my gluteus maximus. Here I am, just trying to do my job and totally getting taken advantage of.

Side note: Please disregard my pale skin (I made it to the beach two days later!) and my grandma comfort shoes I wear to make it through the long wedding day.

Now that we’re done talking about me, can we take a look at the wedding party? This perfectly represents the differences between bridesmaids and groomsmen on a wedding day. But let me just say, Jamie and RJ had the best wedding party EVER. Fun and sweet – absolutely a treat!

Let me hit publish before I change my mind. But feel free to leave your own caption in the comments! But please play nice. Happy Friday!
