Jennifer & Jason - A Bright Sunny Day

Supposedly, beaches represent sunny and bright days but apparently, the ones in Carmel are known for the opposite - and yes, we’ve searched and it is actually known for rogue waves and gloomy skies. So when Jennifer & Jason’s wedding, which was held in the same exact place, was filled with warmth and sunlight, we just knew that it is indeed their very special day. Aside from this amazing turnout, they were also blessed with wonderful guests who acknowledged their request of wearing neutral colored clothing as to match the beach so they can have beautiful photos.

This couple indeed deserved this wonderful day of celebration! Congratulations Jennifer & Jason! What is your story as a couple, how did you meet & fall in love?

Jason and I met at work. He is very shy and introverted. He worked at our corporate office in Ohio, and when I finally won him over, he moved to California.

We were too old not to take chances. And it worked! What makes the two of you a perfect match?

We are opposites in many ways but the parts that need to match, do! We are both “thinkers” rather than “feelers”, which according to Meyers Briggs, is a good fit! How did he (or you) propose?

He took me to Domaine Carneros in Napa, where we had our first date. After ordering champagne, he slyly got on one knee and proposed with the most beautiful ring! Once I said yes, he just as slyly got back in his chair, and no one around us even knew what happened!

How long was the planning process? Did you think it was enough time? We were engaged May 28,2013 and were married July 11, 2014.

We had hoped to married in the middle of June but many locations were already booked. It was plenty of time to plan it all! What was the best advice you received when you were planning your wedding?

Thankfully, we are both level headed and the wedding was pretty easy to plan. What tips & tricks (“hacks”? ) can you share future brides that you yourself have learned during and after your wedding?

Pick a theme and stick with it. I liked so many different themes, so I kept bouncing around with ideas. Once I picked one, it made everything else easier.
