what’s up everyone? it’s mid-week and i bet at least 7 of you have already mentally checked out of work and started thinking about your upcoming weekend wine tasting trip. well, here’s a little something to keep you day dreaming.

i did heather and michael’s engagement session at gershon bachus vintners last year and couldn’t wait for their wedding right back at the same place.

the wait is over!

they recently said “i do” on a hill atop this cozy little vineyard, overlooking the beautiful temecula valley wine country. it was pretty amazing… not quite as amazing as michael’s abs, but amazing nonetheless. ( am i right heather? )

after the sun-soaked ceremony and a sexy-time sunset heather got the crowd jumpin (literally) with a mother / daughter dance that turned into a zumba flash mob. i would have joined in, but it wasn’t a zumbatomic flash mob.

when heather and hollie saw their grandma walking up to the ceremony area, wearing the same outfit she wore to their mom’s wedding years before, tears started rolling. to her credit, heather held her tears back ( for the moment ) and got everyone smiling with a little bubbly.

heather, being stunning and completely confident, opted not to choose a band of bridge trolls for bridesmaids. instead, she chose 4 of the most beautiful girls in california to back her up.

it was like a hotness lineup in there.

i have to take a moment to show heather and michael what they have to look forward to. as inconceivable as it may be, our couples actually get hotter as time goes by. true story.

on a side note, thank you so much hannah and cadman for telling heather and michael about us. you guys look incredible. kim and i are beyond happy that we got to see you again. wish we could have stayed all night.
