From engagements in Utah to getting married in Maui, and a second act in New York, we have finally arrived at the grande finale in California. Annaliese and Stephan wrapped up their wedding trilogy on Saturday with a Villa Ragusa wedding. Located in the heart of downtown Campbell, California, Villa Ragusa was the perfect spot to conclude the celebrations!
As they donned their wedding attire for a final time, we were able to capture getting ready photos. We had both friends and family pitching in, and it was a great time. I always love this part of the day. The anticipation and excitement for the events ahead, and everyone hyping the bride and groom up. Annaliese looked beautiful in her elegant dress, and Stephan was the epitome of class in his custom tux. These two look picture perfect together, and it was so fun to see them all dressed up again!
The party started off with a lovely cocktail hour and live music. After the grand entrances, Stephan and Annaliese set the mood for the evening with a lighthearted speech. They went over all of the wonderful moments of their past two wedding celebrations – complete with a few natural disasters and a surprise “icing” for their guests! Annaliese’s father, Reed, bequeathed a plethora of plants to the newlyweds, all with very special and sentimental meanings.
The party really kicked off with first dances, live music, and party light sabers. Everyone was throwing back shots, waving their lights around, and dancing their hearts out! There has been so much love and support for Annaliese and Stephan’s marriage – from coast to coast – and I can’t think of two people more deserving. It has been an honor to get to know you two over the last year, and I very much consider you friends more than clients! You both are amazing people, and I can’t wait to see the life you create together!
