Greengate Ranch & Vineyard Wedding: Shaun & Kate

September 29, 2015

Oh wow!! The weekend we had with Shaun & Kate got better and better!! Their wedding day was unreal!! Shaun and Kate feel like instant best friends. They are incredibly hospitable, warm and fun to be around! We loved every minute we got to be with them!

The girls were getting all dolled up at the house at Greengate Ranch & Vineyard, while the guys went for a quick dip in the ocean before getting ready.

Meet Olive – the best dog ever! Olive was a key part of the day as she wanted to be everywhere where Shaun and Kate were so she is in a lot of wedding photos 🙂 She is so protective of them and is amazingly lovable.
Noonans Design did a stunning job with the florals!
Shaun’s gift to his bride will be hard for any other groom to compete with! Kate was a gymnist and she is obsessed with watching it…..so Shaun is taking her to RIO for the Summer Olympics next year and they are going to a bunch of gymnastics events!

Kate had the experts helping her with her dress! Her sister-in-law Carine owns Carine’s Bridal Atelier, a gorgeous boutique bridal shop in Washington, DC, so of course they found the best dress ever for Kate!

Once Kate was in her dress, it was time for her to go meet her man!

A few minutes later, her dad got to see his little girl looking gorgeous as ever!

We did not need a wind machine on this day, it all came naturally!

The ceremony area at Greengate Ranch & Vineyard was surrounded by the beautiful pond! The setting was perfect!

Kate’s brother RJ officiated the wedding and you would think he did this every weekend! He really did an amazing job!! It was personal, funny and heart-felt!

The guests were able to enjoy a mozzarella bar before the reception! It was incredibly yummy!

Karson Butler Events are the best of the best!! They did an UNBELIEVABLE job with all of the details and making the day and the full weekend run so perfectly!! They went above and beyond in every way!!

Islay Events, All About Events & La Tavola Linen did a fabulous job with all the linen, lighting and rentals!!

Check out the STUNNING cake by Fluffy Thoughts Bakery!!

There is something that just attracts Matt to trees that he can climb!
We are so thankful that we were able to sneak away to the vineyards for a few minutes for some beautiful sunset photos! It was PERFECT!
You would have thought these two hired professionals to do their wedding speeches! They were incredibly entertaining and heart-felt!

The scotch bar and cigars was a big hit!
