It had already been a year since Vanessa and Mike eloped to tie the knot, but they didn’t want to leave out their family and friends. So they gathered together at a spot overlooking the valley and spoke vows in front of all, recommitting their lives to one another!

Mike sent Vanessa off to The Holbrooke, a beautiful historic hotel in old town Grass Valley, to be pampered! Back at the house close family and friends came over to spend the morning together and make sure Mike was ready on time!

Once they were both ready, they met at Lucchesi Vineyards for their First Look!

I just love the reaction of a bride and groom seeing each other for the first time privately and how at ease and relaxed they both become!

Vanessa hired a vintage car to drive her and her dad down to the ceremony site!

Vanessa spent months scouring thrift stores and garage sales and then repainted everything to furnish the reception site. With the multi-tiers of grassy areas overlooking the vineyards, everything was beautiful and welcoming!

Loved this idea for right next to the dance floor!

With such an amazing location, I love that Vanessa and Mike took a few minutes away from their reception to capture this sunset picture!
