Natalie And Bennie's Casa Real At Ruby Hill Winery Wedding

Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery has been our canvas for countless breathtaking weddings, and let us tell you, Natalie and Bennie’s day was an absolute dream. Let’s talk about this venue – pure romance and luxury rolled into one, with views of the Livermore Valley that’ll steal your heart. And it gets better! The moment we met Natalie and Bennie, we knew it would be fantastic. These two were like pros in front of the camera, radiating love and joy with every pose. Can we talk about #CoupleGoals? Working with them was like hanging out with old friends; we felt so welcomed by their warm and inviting energy. It was truly a day to remember.

Meet The Two Lovebirds

Natalie and Bennie’s love story began at work, where their paths crossed, and they immediately hit it off. As their connection grew stronger, they decided to take the next step in their relationship and have an intimate engagement at home surrounded by loved ones. The couple’s children and Natalie’s dad were present to witness this heartwarming moment and make memories that would last a lifetime. Moments like these remind us all that love can find us even in the busiest times. Who would have thought that two busy bees at work could find such a deep and meaningful connection? But they did, and it’s exceptional.

Natalie And Bennie’s Casa Real At Ruby Hill Winery Wedding

Bennie and Natalie’s wedding day was nothing short of spectacular. Every detail was meticulously planned, and it was clear that the couple had put a lot of thought into creating a special day that reflected their personalities and style. The day started with Natalie and Bennie getting ready in different rooms. Natalie was all smiles and was beyond excited to see Bennie. The bride wore a stunning dress by Ese Azenabor and her veil…BREATHTAKING! Natalie’s bridesmaids looked fabulous in their dresses from David’s Bridal, and I must say these designers are super-talented individuals and stitch such gorgeous outfits. Natalie’s bridal portraits and group pictures with her bridesmaids are proof of that.

Bennie looked handsome in his suit from Men’s Wearhouse. He had a wonderful time with his groomsmen who looked dashing in their suits and bow ties. They were all super confident and didn’t need much direction on how to pose. We loved how they embraced their swag and did a classic “hands in the pocket and walk” pose – the pictures were fantastic!

From the get-go, Natalie and Bennie’s wedding ceremony was a parade of meaning and elegance. They chose a simple yet elegant quartz and sterling silver color theme, and the entire setup looked spectacular with these HUGE vases with the most beautiful flowers. A huge shout-out to LC Floral Design for transforming the wedding altar into a floral dreamscape! The ceremony began at sharp 4:30 PM, and as Bennie and Natalie exchanged vows, it was like the world paused to witness their love.

After the ceremony, we whisked away the newlyweds and headed outdoors for couples portraits. Natalie and Bennie were glowing with happiness as they explored the vineyards and walked hand-in-hand while soaking in that “just married” feel. A highlight from that moment was when Bennie took Natalie’s hand and twirled her around like a princess. The sheer joy on her face was adorable, and the vineyards were a great backdrop to their portraits, making for some incredible shots.

Celebrating As Newlyweds

Natalie and Bennie’s wedding reception was an absolute blast. The newlyweds took to the dance floor and swayed to the music “For You” by Kenny Latimore. Our favorite highlight of the day was undoubtedly their decor. Oh, what a sight it was. And what made it even more heartwarming was the story behind it – Natalie’s aunts stepped in to plan the wedding, creating a celebration that truly reflected Natalie’s spirit. With her father’s absence keenly felt, their bond shone bright, and every detail was a tribute to his memory. Natalie’s words said it best: “Working with my aunts – who have stepped in big time for me with this after losing my father.”

As time went on, the dance floor was packed with guests dancing to the music played by JustIntertainment. From the delicious cake by Cake Delight and the lovely invites from Truly Engaging to the sweet wedding favors featuring a wine opener and stopper, every detail had been carefully considered. It was a pleasure to capture Bennie and Natalie’s wedding day.
