Natalie and Joshua’s Montage Healdsburg wedding was a celebration of love, laughter, and the merging of two beautiful lives. Set amidst the rolling vineyards of Sonoma County on a warm July day, their special day reflected everything that makes them who they are—romantic, adventurous travelers, wine aficionados and deeply in love.
From the moment these two saw each other during their first look, it was clear: Natalie and Joshua were absolutely overjoyed. Joshua, ever the romantic, couldn’t stop stealing kisses or gazing at Natalie with pure admiration. The engraving inside his wedding band, “forever overjoyed,” felt like a perfect description of the way they light up in each other’s presence.
Natalie was a vision in her strapless gown, adorned with glitter and intricate, hand-painted floral designs. The texture and artistry of the dress were unlike anything I’d ever seen—a true masterpiece that felt as unique and ethereal as Natalie herself. Joshua, looking dapper and proud, stood beside her under a soft summer sky as they exchanged personal vows in the vineyard. Their wine-mixing ceremony—a blend of wines from their home states of California and New York—was a touching symbol of their lives coming together. The ceremony concluded with a joyful leap as they jumped the broom, surrounded by cheers from friends and family.
Details of their love story were woven into every element of the day. Their seating chart featured watercolor designs of their favorite travel destinations, a nod to their shared love for exploring the world. As the sun set, guests gathered on the terrace under a canopy of twinkle lights. The soft palette of pastel blues and blush tones created an atmosphere of effortless elegance. Heartfelt toasts alternated between fits of laughter and tears, a testament to the deep connections Natalie and Joshua have nurtured over the years.
When it was time to dance, the reception came alive. A saxophonist played alongside the DJ, energizing the crowd and inspiring unforgettable moments on the dance floor. Joshua, a Michael Jackson fan through and through, couldn’t resist breaking it down to a few iconic hits (as I attempted to moonwalk from the sidelines).
Natalie and Joshua, thank you for allowing us to capture your joy and your story. Your love is vibrant, heartfelt, and truly one of a kind—much like the day you created in the vineyards of Healdsburg. May your marriage together be as intentional and delicious as the wine you blended and as joyful as the smiles you two donned throughout your day. We love you guys!
