My Mock Dream Wedding with the Bachelorette’s Matt Donald

I had the most amazing opportunity last week… I got to shoot a REAL fake wedding (does that make any sense, ha). Sadie from Sadies Celebration and Events planned my dream wedding at a gorgeous location… the Bluxome Street Winery in San Francisco. I was provided hair by Beauty by Lia and makeup by Jasmine Sott. JD Cakery provided a wedding cake, Kat’s Flower Affair decorated with flowers, Ren Studio designed custom wedding dresses for me (3), Event Works provided the setup, and Little Sister Creative Studio offered custom invitations. Last but not least, I was overjoyed to discover Andrea Deanda would be my photographer and Matt Donald (from this season’s the Bachelorette) would be my groom!

So here are the images… so stunning and I truly thank everyone for all of their hard work <3!

I grew up in the Bay Area, so taking pictures in front of this bridge were absolutely iconic. I definitely plan on snagging some shots here after my real wedding!
