Congratulations on your recent engagement! One of the first exciting aspects of wedding planning is booking your wedding venue.

Read MoreDanny and Gina were married on a beautiful Fall afternoon in downtown San Jose. They first met their freshman year at Cal Poly and hit it off right away. They quickly bonded over the fact that they both come from big Italian families. They exchanged stories of fond memories growing up with delicious home-cooked meals. I asked Gina when she knew she wanted to marry Danny and she said as soon as she met him, she started telling her friends she was going to marry him. Now six years later and her word became a reality.

Tré&Brittany are amazing and kind people. They met while attending school in our hometown at Chico State. Fate had them placed in the same dorm. Brittany had just moved to Chico from growing up in Southern California and Tré from a tiny town Yreka just north of Chico. Although they met as freshman college students, it wasn't until the senior year that Tré moved into the apartment below Brittany and they became friends. They soon started spending a lot of time together and really enjoying each other's company. After a year of just being friends, they spent a few weeks apart from each other. After Brittany's parents dropped her off in Chico again, she went straight to see Tré. It was then that Brittany realized how much she truly cared for Tré.
Read MoreOver their engagement process, we always try to get to know our couples on a personal level. One of the ways we do that is at an engagement session. As we were taking those photos, we were talking about the importance of setting time aside and making date night a priority. Jason and Rachel expressed how they would do this almost every night and make sure they were on the same page as each other. They would go on walks and talk about their day! Those are such important patterns to get into before your married and it was inspiring for us to watch.
