Burgundy and Lush Green Church Wedding by Michelle Ramirez
The combination of the iconic Old Mission Santa Ines Church and the scenic Crossroads Estate at Firestone Winery, created the perfect atmosphere for today’s late summer wedding. For the bride, the day started with a beauty session with her bridesmaids, compliments of 805 Makeup, before Michelle Ramirez captured photographs featuring the bride’s stunning wedding gown by Rita Vinieris, which stood out against the bridesmaids’ simple, wine-colored dresses.
Groomsmen helped the man of the hour with an evergreen tie and toasted with a celebratory drink before heading to the ceremony. Joy filled the church as the couple caught a glimpse of each other and proceeded to share their first kiss as husband and wife.
The venues provided for many photo opportunities among the natural lush greens and expansive vineyard, paired with customized burgundy and blush florals from Sweet Peas Flowers and Gifts. The couple made a grand entrance at the reception before guests enjoyed a high-quality buffet provided by DJ’s California Catering. When the music by DJ Zeke began everyone was on their feet and dancing to commemorate the moment and officially signal the beginning of the couple’s lives together.
