Vineyard Wedding California

Located at a private home in Soquel, California, a group of wedding vendors are preparing for a wedding that many have long been waiting for. The ceremony set-up was under the oak trees with an arch filled of lavender and red florals. Along the patio with the pool, there are tables with flowers in the middle with a lavender theme plate setting. Beyond the pool is where the vineyard starts. To me, this is a perfect location for this Vineyard Wedding in California!

Hi, I’m Dana! I am a Monterey, California based wedding photographer who happily serves all California couples. The ones who value and cherish moments with their loved ones. My couples love to have fun, create laughs, and have their wedding day captured through the light and natural style that brings out joy and laughter! This blog here, showcases just that. It’s about Greg and Nzinga, and their beautiful wedding at a private vineyard.

The love story

For those of you who know Greg and Nzinga, you know their story of how they met and what they have overcome in the last few years. However, for the readers that do not, I will happily tell you how this love flourished! They met on Match, which is no surprise. In the ever changing world we are in, couples are meeting online. These two had a near perfect match, and so they decided to meet up and it was not long after that they simply fell in love.

A bump on the road came soon after, where Nzinga was diagnosed with Cancer and during their first months together, Greg never left her side. He and his family supported her and her family. Hospital visits, helping around the home, and being the cheerleader for each other. Indeed, two families had come together in a time of need of each other. Then, we have 2020. Where the Pandemic hit. During this time, they spent half the year apart. Working from home, and making sure Nzinga stays safe. With the grace of God watching over them, they have survived those two years of testing of their faith.

Now here we are, in 2021 and Greg and Nzinga were so ready to say I Do. They knew they were going to be together for the rest of their life, so why not plan the wedding of their dreams? The one they long waited for and to be honest, deserve.
