We have been looking forward to Carissa and Art's wedding since the first time we met them in January! We knew that working with top-notch companies in the Napa Valley area plus the cool citrus themed colors, not to mention that Carissa and Art are incredible people themselves, was going to make for one fun wedding! Jennifer Stone put this entire lemon-lime flavored festival together with perfection, from the beautiful florals from Valley Flora down to the Lemon Drop martinis for the guests, a bar full of a variety of candy, and even flip-flops for the guests to lounge in to soothe their tired tootsies at the end of the day!
Carissa and Art, thank you so much for inviting us to share your day with you. It was such a beautiful day and your love is truly equally as stunning, which we've recognized from the very beginning. We really enjoyed getting to know your great group of family and friends. You are so lucky to such wonderful people in your lives! Thank you all so much for your hospitality! We wish you all the best and many years of joy to come! We know you will be blessed! Love, Damion and Julie

Preparations for the day began early!I love this picture of Carissa as a little girl holding her baby brother...and now preparing for her own wedding. This picture brings tears to my eyes!
We stole Carissa and Art away from their homes to share a teary, joyful, and very private moment for their first glimpse of each other....
The ceremony was held at St. Apollinarus Catholic Church and then we were all wisked away to a beautiful reception at Vinter's Golf Club in Yountville (image by our good buddy Ron Storer!)
What a beautiful day for an outdoor reception!
Love the way they used their engagement photos in this candy display!
Valley Flora did a great job of incorporating the citrus theme throughout the decor
Cheers and a toast to the happy couple!
We also owe many, many thanks to our buddy Ron Storer, an excellent photographer and great friend who traveled all the way from Washington to assist us for this wedding. There were so many details that it worked out great to have three photographers! We cannot express our gratitude for your help and friendship. Check out some of our favorites of Ron's images:
Many thanks also the wonderful vendors that we had an opportunity to work with!
