Before we get into all of the gorgeous details from today’s featured wedding, here are a few special touches that the photographer, Jose Villa captured…

Lisa Vorce, the incredible designer behind the day, imagined a wedding that is as beautiful as they come. Worn, vintage church pews as seating for the ceremony, an organic, incredibly tactile altar, touches of romance and luxury, beauty and simplicity. Sigh. Absolutely lovely.

From LisaAs the guests made their way to the dinner reception – they passed through an unexpected display of lanterns and tumbleweeds! Alissa’s mother had seen tumbleweeds used in a window display a few years ago…and thought it would be that perfect quirky element for Alissa and Ryan to incorporate into their wedding. Apparently April is “tumbleweed season” in Texas — so Alissa’s father lovingly shipped 15 hand picked tumbleweeds from their ranch in Texas. Mindy and I were SO excited to incorporate them. We hung them “chandelier-style” using velvet “scrunchies” at the entrance to the dinner reception. Mindy also incorporated the smaller ones into her tablescape on the dinner tables. They were so beautiful next to her just-picked-from-the-garden centerpieces, and had such special meaning for everyone.

  7. It is so nice to see the wedding photographer take images of the smaller things at a wedding. These touches are so overlooked but it is often the case that these are specifically the images that provide a reminder of the big day to the couple. They will often trigger a memory of an event and that is what wedding photographers should strive to achieve!

    I love the shoes, the dress, the bride, the groom , the whole amazing dream wedding!i often come here to have alook at those lavender field and their happiness when i have a bad day,luv it luv it!

  9. I adore the use of pews for their outdoor ceremony. Is there anyway to find out where they got them? I have a client getting married at the San Ysidro Ranch this summer who desperately wants pews.

    Thanks!

  10. My favourite part about weddings is the detail from the place settings to the wedding favours. The extra effort really does shine through in the pictures just as ut has in the images above. Shooting weddings like this means your never short of a photo opportunity when the bride and groom are busy enjoying them selves.
