Liz and Patrick, Ironstone Vineyards, Murphys California, 5.31.08

Liz and Patrick tied the knot at Ironstone Vineayrds, in Murphys California. The winery is nestled in the Sierra Foothills, in the heart of California's Gold Rush Country. It is family owned, off the beaten path- and well worth the trek. Mother nature must have known about the wedding because after a rainy, cold week, the skies opened up to perfect sunshine and wonderful temperatures. The setting of the ceremony was breathtaking under the large trees and a small stream separating the guests and bridal party. Right after saying I do, the newlyweds were picked up by a beautiful team of horses (Ned and Nate) and swept off. I love weddings with horses!
We couldn't have been given a more beautiful day. Liz and Patrick were very relaxed throughout the entire day, and Liz couldn't stop smiling. The reception was great, with Ironstone's wines atop the tables, and the party even sang along to Garth Brooks. They also had a bar of candy set up with little paper bags for you to scoop candy into. It was in large glass bowls as well as big lollipops placed into grass, it was a great idea and I loved how it looked. I hope to be back at Ironstone soon, it was truly a pleasure. Congrats to Liz and Patrick! Here is some of our day...
