We started the day at the gorgeous Fountain Grove Inn, where Bianca was getting ready in the bridal suite.

It's never too early to start celebrating. Bianca expertly popped open a bottle of bubbly!

Bianca was all set with something old, something new, something borrowed... wait, she still needed something blue. One of her bridesmaids came to the rescue with blue nail polish (just for the pinkie toe). Ingenious!

While Bianca was getting ready, I had a lot of fun photographing her wedding day details.

Her stunning diamond bridal jewelry:

And their super-creative wedding invitations:

And then it was time to put on the wedding dress, which was just stunning on Bianca! It complemented her figure so perfectly!

A quick bustle fix by the bridesmaids.

And she was ready to go. We did some quick bridal portraits before we headed to the winery to meet up with Erik for the first look.

Bianca looks like a model! She really does!

Naturally, Erik is blown away by how stunning Bianca looks! :)

And off we go to our bridal session.

23.
I had to grab the classic vineyard shot! :)
24.
25.
Probably my most favorite shot of the day. There is just so much sweetness in the way Bianca is looking up at Erik. Her smile, her eyes, the way she draped her arm over his shoulders -- it's just all so perfect!

27.
As time for the ceremony was fast approaching, we made our way back from the vineyards.

29.
As you may remember from the engagement post, Bianca and Erik met working on their university newspaper. For their wedding programs, they created an issue of The Arganaut, using photos from their engagement session (and a few others).

The vows.

And the exchange of the rings.

After the ceremony we did the traditional family photos and a few photos with the bridal party.
41.
42.
Before the reception got underway, I grabbed a few shots of the setup.

45.
And what do you suppose that is?
46.
It's the wedding cake, of course. Did you guess it right? I didn't quite believe it when I saw it, but sure enough, it was a wedding cake. I LOVE all the creative details of Bianca and Erik's wedding. And by the way, while not the entire contraption is cake, it is entirely edible!

More dancing!

Congratulations, Bianca & Erik! What a wonderful wedding you had and what a great life together lies ahead of you!
I also wanted to thank my wonderful supportive husband for second-shooting with me. And I wanted to thank all the other wedding vendors for making the day possible!
