For this Bride and Groom, crafting a day centered around food, family and friends was at the top of their wedding must haves. With the help of A Savvy Event, that wish list became a reality with a celebration built around their Greek and Italian backgrounds set against the beautiful outdoor backdrop of Gundlach Bundschu Winery. From breathtaking family style tables to the most gorgeous portraits, have a look at Anna Lord’s images for the full celebration.

From the Photographer… Nora and Dean… I can’t say enough about them. They’re humble, sweet, incredibly beautiful and their wedding day was filled with special touches for their guests and combined both of their cultures: Italian and Greek. It was really important for the both of them to create a day that intertwined their love of food, family, friends, and each other. Their wedding festivities began at the Nativity of Christ Greek Orthodox Church followed by the reception at Gundlach Bundschu Winery. Nora had mentioned to me that she wanted to ensure that the tables during the reception had the classic Italian look of sharing a meal together; and I think it all turned out perfectly. Their closest family and friends celebrated together amidst the endless vineyards. Something extra special from their day was a surprise that Nora had for her groom. She played the violin for 10 years and Dead had never heard her perform… And has been asking her since they met! Following the introductory toast, she surprised him by playing ‘Love Me Like You Do” by Ellie Goulding with the string ensemble. It was a beautiful moment to be a part of!
