Orfila Vineyard Wedding | Brittany and Matt

By, June 13, 2017

Sitting on a picturesque hillside in the San Pasqual Valley lies Orfila Vineyard where Brittany and Matt held their classic outdoor vineyard wedding. Located on 70 acres of property, the vineyard offers timeless rustic features in addition to the boundless fields of trellised grapes.  We had fun using the vintage cellar rooms in contrast to the natural foliage outside to create a diversity of looks with a minimal amount of space.

The photos below capture the elegant, romantic spirit of Brittany and Matt’s special day. Here is a selection of our favorites!

Brittany wore this elegant cream-colored wedding dressed by Elle Bridal. The dress was pairedwith flats by Betsey Johnson, which added in a hint of glitter.

In addition to stylized portraits, we love capturing candids throughout the day. For example, as Matt recited his vows during the ceremony (above), Brittany pulled out a tissue to dry her tears. It's small moments like these that can hold big emotion!

While the venue's exterior offered a classic vineyard look, with lots of natural foliage, the metal tanks in the cellar provided a clean, modern aesthetic. Playing with the two opposing styles created a fun juxtaposition!

These days, event designers and wedding couples are getting creative with props and décor highlights. As you’ll see, a well-placed design accent can enhance the wedding theme, and help create the environment of the day. Whether the venue is rustic and outdoors, or luxurious and indoors, handmade details stand out and can help make guests feel welcome. Examples of design highlights include custom-made signage, handcrafted party favors, and interactive alternatives to the traditional guestbook.

In addition to the big moments, we make sure to photograph all the intricate details of the day so they can be preserved and remembered. Enjoy our selection of wonderful props!
