“I promise to make you smile, laugh and grow old together forever.”
Meet José & Hannah.
A passionate couple, joining their blended family as they marry in a beautiful grand court and garden wedding in Contra Costa.
The day was done just right for interacting with their kids and wedding party...They started the day in their Discovery Bay house rental by the water, getting ready and relaxing near their venue. While the ladies did their hair and makeup, toasted with mimosas and shared a few laughs, the men and boys got on their suits and pocketed a few shots on the pool table before heading out. It was only a brief twenty minute drive to their next gorgeous wedding destination in a hidden oasis; complete with a waterfall, starlit trees, coy pond and grand court seating for the ceremony–Brownstone Gardens was gorgeous.
Though they started the day getting ready together, Hannah was careful to keep her gown a surprise, dressing in the bridal cottage while decorations were being set. One of the most playful moments was when José was blindfolded and led to Hanna's cottage for a kiss and embrace before the ceremony! The grand court was seated and the groom and all the attendants waited for the moment when the bride was escorted by her father. All the effort to stay hidden had paid off, as the groom, not a bit desensitized from the getting ready routines was ultimately undone with emotion seeing his dream float down the aisle. It was a beautiful moment.
