Real Wedding Inspiration: Evan & Naomi's Romantic Wedding

We've been so busy at Porter Valley with weddings & private events almost every day that I haven't been able to keep up with updating you on all our amazing past events. But finally, here is another wonderful wedding that I've been meaning to share with you all!

Evan & Naomi were a great couple to work with and their romantic burnt red, black & ivory colored wedding last November turned out perfectly! They couldn't have been a nicer couple and we felt very fortunate to be chosen for their wedding location.

This wonderful large framed engagement photo was placed in the foyer for guests to sign as they walked in and several smaller framed photos of the couple were displayed on the reception table, along with the guests' seating cards, to add a personal touch.
 The wedding arbor was beautifully adorned with rich, burnt red floral arrangements. The guests enjoyed a breathtaking view of the lake and our gorgeous fountain as the couple said their vows.
 I don't usually post pictures of our brides & grooms, but Evan & Naomi were kind enough to share these with me. They were taken by their photographer, Christian Mejia, and I think they captivated this loving couple's special day really well.

Here the boys line up infront of the golf course for a fun photo op'.
(The little ringer bearers were so adorable!)
 The cake was designed by one of our preferred bakeries, Jaqki's, and looked so elegant with burnt red flowers to go with the rest of their decor.
 This was one of my favorite shots of the sweet couple. They were really enjoying their moment (and the strawberries)!
 Congratulations to Evan & Naomi!
Also, a special update for you all, they recently welcomed a beautiful baby boy to their family!

We are so happy for them and we wish them all the best!
