Becky + Jared | Chasing Light Photo & Video

Valentine’s Day Feature!

 

We saw the pictures from Chasing Light Photography of Becky and Jared’s wedding here at the Ranch and knew what we wanted to use for our red-letter Valentine’s Day post.

 

 

Framing the window in our Bridal Suite, the bridal bouquets from Flowers by Mae Mae welcomed Becky and her bridesmaids with their vivid coral and lush burgundy blooms.

 

Becky was super sweet and answered a few questions for us about her experience planning!

How did you both choose your wedding day look?

B: “For my wedding day look, I was going for a romantic vintage feel.”

 

 

Flowers by Mae Mae also decorated the ceremony space, and we’re in love with this bright burgundy tree decoration!

 

 

The flowers continued down each side of the aisle to thoroughly drench the patio in that vibrant color of love.

 

How did you meet?

B: “We met through a dating website in 2015!”

 

Tell us about the proposal.

B: “Jared proposed to me at a family gathering at my parents’ house. He had both of our families involved, and it was very special!”

 

Nick Weiss is a mind-blowingly talented DJ.

(Throughout the night, he played guitar and sang during the pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail hour, and then finally switched over to traditional DJ techniques for the rest of the evening.)

 

Becky looked so dreamy and beautiful, walking down the aisle!

 

 

While Becky stole our breath, Chasing Light Photography caught Jared in the throws of the moment.

It’s love like this that makes these two perfect for a Valentine’s Day shout-out.

 

What were some of your favorite parts of your wedding? 

B: “Exchanging vows in front of our favorite people, our first dance as husband and wife.”

 

The Big Kiss!!

 

 

The bridal party had such a fresh take on a classic look here at the Ranch!

(We’re so used to seeing groomsmen in sharp black suits, and bridesmaids in light colors, that we were pleasantly surprised by this group switching it up and looking so good!)

 

Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind your day?

B: “Romantic, simple, and a little boho was my inspiration for the day.”

 

 

The main floor looked perfect thanks to the hard-working staff at Personal Touch Dining who set all the tables and carried each chair down from the ceremony site!

 

How did you decorate your space for the ceremony and the reception? Was any part of the decor DIY?

B: “We wanted to incorporate as many personal items to the reception. I made my Grandma’s famous chocolate chip cookies as wedding favors…”

 

(Who can resist homemade cookies?!)

 

“We had coasters made of our two corgis…”

 

(We love little personal touches like this for guests to take home! We know those cookies didn’t last past the end of the night.)

 

“…and we had a ton of photos of our parents and grandparents at the dessert bar.”

 

(This area of the Cabana is a favorite for couples who want to display memories of the two families coming together, loved ones who are with them in spirit, or pictures of their relationship history.)

 

What was the most anticipated or special moment of your wedding day? 

B: “I’d say sharing our special day with all of the amazing people in our lives was pretty spectacular!”

 

 

 

Personal Touch Dining staff brought Becky and Jared appetizers to their Sweetheart Table, just in case they missed any during cocktail hour.

 

The talented Coordination Team also plated-up the love birds’ dinner, so they could finally sit and relax for the first time that night.

 

 

Personal Touch Dining also provided extra desserts for guests to help themselves to off of our dessert bar!

 

 

Flour Power baked up an adorable, and delicious, FunFetti-style Couple’s Cake for the ceremonial cake cutting.

 

Nick Weiss kept the dance floor rocking the rest of the evening as guests danced the night away!

 

Do you have any wedding planning or marriage advice that you’d like to share with other couples planning their day?

B: “Don’t sweat the small stuff, the day goes by so fast, so try to take it in.”

“Enjoy every minute of it.”

 

 

We’re so honored we could be part of this amazing couple’s special day!

 

Thanks, Becky and Jared, for choosing our Ranch! Thanks also to Chasing Light Photography for sharing these incredible photos.

All the vendors who worked with us this day are fantastic, and we are always so appreciative of their hard work!

Finally, a special thanks to Personal Touch Dining for the Catering, Event Coordination, and Venue Management of all the Special Events at our Ranch!
