After eyeballing Nicole and Joseph’s wedding photos, we know two things:

1. Garden weddings in California = 100% yes
2. They are head-over-heels, heart-bursting, angel-chorus-singing-in-background IN LOVE.

These two wed in northern California at Rancho Soquel, an impossibly pretty private estate. Hacienda-style buildings, beautiful grounds with a creek, and the air of a place apart – so apt for stepping from one period of life into another! As was their first look on Capitola Beach, because, girls, who isn’t bewitched by the sight and sound of waves crashing on sand?

Catch more of their day and some really great wedding planning advice from Nicole on Wedding Chicks!
