They're here.
Thank you all so much for attending our wedding, it was a night to remember! Here are some of our favorite images from L Hewitt Photography. For more images of the wedding day, please contact Kelsey directly!
Rehearsal Dinner
After two full days of wine tasting in Napa and Sonoma, we all gathered at the Sunflower Caffe on Sonoma Square to (officially) kick off wedding celebrations! Surrounded by family and friends, we ate, drank and enjoyed toasts from our nearest and dearest.
Details
Although photos don't usually do the valley justice...we think Leah Huete came as close to capturing the beauty and spirit of the area as one can. These are the many details that came together to create our very special day at Chateau St. Jean. Custom letterpress invitations by Jolly Edition, old-world calligraphy by Ettie Kim, my grandmother's rosary, string versions of our Beatles favorites, miles of baby's breath and of course, the historic chateau building.
Getting Ready
After spending a quiet morning together, we separated to prepare for the day of festivities. Foster was joined by his groomsmen at the hotel and I spent the morning sipping mimosas, eating In-N-Out Burger, listening to Sgt. Pepper, and sharing stories with my sister and best friends. We arrived to the winery in shifts so that we didn't see each other before the ceremony.

The Ceremony
The ceremony began with one of the day's most memorable surprises-- a string trio playing 'Eye of the Tiger' for Foster and his groomsmen’s entrance. Our families proceeded down the aisle to the Beatles 'In my Life,' and the bridesmaids followed to 'Here Comes the Sun.' My father and I walked (carefully!) down the steps and down the aisle to 'Something' by George Harrison. Two readings, vows and a kiss later, we were Foster and Mrs. Foster!
Cocktails in the Rose Garden
The cocktail hour in the Chateau St. Jean rose garden was beautiful. Our string trio played while servers passed hors d'oeuvres, bellinis and of course, cold Coors Light. Foster and I used the time to enjoy a plate of snacks and spend some alone time.
Time to Party!
Our reception was full of incredible food, wine, toasts, dances and desserts. Our guests were also treated to a beautiful sunset over the valley and projected movies (Rocky III, Ferris Bueller) while they dined and danced. The highlight of the evening? Gabe's best man speech that brought. the. house. down.
