Carter & Cook Event Co.: Real Wedding: Kate + Daniel vol. 1

This wedding was one of our favorite weddings to date. Kate and Daniel, their families, the vendors, the ceremony and reception sites, the theme - everything combined made for a perfect and beautiful day. We love fall weddings, and we loved working with these two to create a vintage, 'anthropologie' wedding day.

This wedding is so jam packed with goodness. We're going to have to unfold the photos in two volumes, so make sure you stop back for more tomorrow!

Kate was just the most gorgeous bride in her Mikaella lace wedding gown. Here is a series of photos from their first look. As Heather and I were busy running around with the details, Erin and Randy from He & She Photography were able to capture the precious first look. I love this quote from He & She's blog, "Kate & Daniel were so calm before the ceremony. I would almost consider their portrait session beforehand to be a "holy moment" - it was so peaceful and quiet. It was just one of those right moments that was so very memorable." How perfect, and sweet and really an exact picture how the entire day went!

The wedding ceremony was held at McCullough Park at Point Loma Nazarene University, where the two met and fell in love. Old benches were found and painted white, and were lined with lavender plants covered in burlap. It was a darling touch!

Posh Paperie was once again, the creative minds behind the oh-so-darling invitations!

These were the cutest bridesmaid dresses that we've ever laid eyes on. JCrew did it again - and these darling girls wore them well! The dusty/lilacy-pink and shades of gray and cream set the palette for the rest of the wedding.

Okay...look at those flowers. Can we say WOW?! Leigh Anne at The Floral Lab designed all the flowers for the wedding, minus the potted plants done by the wonderful MOB, Jan.

Daniel is an extremely talented musician, and of course, wrote all the ceremony music, which was played by a trio of wonderful musician friends. It was a very sweet and personal touch to the ceremony.
