A chance meeting on a fall Friday night a few years ago sparked a beautiful long lasting connection for this amazing couple. Their love for family, travel, music and dancing made them realize that they were made for each other. Krista and Grant wanted their wedding day to reflect their love for the outdoors and both of them were in love with their wedding venue, The Historic Stone House at Temecula Creek Inn. Before the ceremony and celebration, we met up with the bride and her gorgeous entourage at a private nearby residence. The house was a buzz with laughter and excitement as everyone was getting final touches for their hair and makeup. After a few fun photos with the girls in their fun robes, Krista was excited to transform into a stunning bride. With the help of her matron of honor (best friends since Kindergarten), her mother and future mother-in-law, Krista put on her dress adorned with an elegant pearl beaded belt, her necklace made from her mother’s ring, and her earrings as her something borrowed. This bride was ready to see her groom. We caught up with Grant and his good looking entourage at his groom’s suite at Temecula Creek Inn. The men were all ready for the big day and Grant was elated and excited to see his bride. Under the trees in a private staircase, the couple had their first look. Both had tears in their eyes as they took in this special moment. Their parents and wedding party cheered on from the top of the stairs. It was now time to make our way to the Stone House for their outdoor ceremony and reception. The flowers and décor were exactly what they had envisioned, the perfect mix of romance, rustic with modern touches. Their ceremony was officiated by a close family friend who also designed the wedding bands that they exchanged as the officially said their “I Do’s” and became the Mr and Mrs Castle. As the dusk sky set in and the evening lights began to twinkle, their guests enjoyed cocktail hour with live music by Tom Solis. Then it was time for the real celebration with the energetic reception entrance by the whole wedding party, including the groom sweeping the bride off of her feet, followed by their first dance in front of the Stone House. After heartfelt toasts by the father of the bride, the matron of honor and best man (the groom’s brother), it was time for everyone, including the newlyweds, to cut loose on the dance floor. It was truly our honor to be part of this amazing couple’s wedding day, we will let their photos and highlight video tell their story. Enjoy.
