What a dreamy winter wedding day for Kaitlin and Nick! Located in the heart of wine country, Montage Healdsburg was the perfect venue for their romantic and elegant celebration. Kaitlin and Nick, along with their amazing planner (Sarah at Cole Drake Events) put so much thought and care into the details of their wedding day. The winter-inspired florals added so much warmth to the overall aesthetic of the day. From the elegant table settings to their initials on orange peels, every aspect of the day was carefully considered and executed flawlessly.

Oh my gosh, where to begin?! I’ve been looking forward to this day ever since Michelle first inquired. These two are absolute perfection and have thee most rom-com love story of all time! This is their story in Michelle’s words:
"A little over a year ago I was t-boned by a big construction truck on the way to work. My car was totaled, but I was okay. My paramedic, Alan, was incredibly cute and friendly & made the whole situation a million times better. I later found out that he wanted to get my number but was worried it would be unethical. A month later, my roommate convinced my to sign up for Bumble, where lo and behold, I found my cute paramedic. He proposed almost exactly a year later."
Sounds like the plot of a Hallmark movie right?

Pritika was the most stunning bride and was literally glowing all day. Drew was looking dapper and had somehow grown even taller since we did their engagement photos. Their friends and family showered them with so much love and the whole day was magical.
