Stephanie and Mark both are HUGE wine lovers which has played a massive role in their love story. One of their first vacations as a couple was a 10 day trip to Napa Valley where they explored multiple different wineries. They then got engaged at McEachran Winery which is just a couple hours north of Chicago. Finally, the two had a return trip to Napa Valley where they became members of Jacuzzi Vineyards which became their wedding venue!🍷 Safe to say this stunning couple could NOT have picked a more stunning venue for their wedding day!! A quick shoutout to my stellar associate Megan for traveling to Napa Valley for Stephanie and Mark’s day. I’m so glad to have an associate team that’s willing to travel and capture our couple’s love story wherever it may be!🤩

Getting Ready and Their Emotional First Look

Both Stephanie and Mark started their wedding day separately, getting ready with the help of their closest friends and family. Stephanie and her gals were having a RIOT from the very start of the day. With matching slippers, gowns, and wine cups they were looking and feeling their best when getting ready for this perfect day! Once they made it to Jacuzzi Vineyards Stephanie had her mother help put her wedding dress on before her first look with her father. Initially her father was holding it together, and SO happy to see her. Once she gave him a special gift note though the happy tears started pouring out which was SUCH a sweet moment!!😍

This was just the beginning of the happy tears for the day though, as Stephanie and Mark’s first look REALLY brought out the waterworks! It’s moments like this that make a first look one of my favorite parts of any wedding day. Mark being so overwhelmed with joy upon seeing Stephanie for the first time was such a beautiful and moving moment.🥰 Combining this emotional moment with the gorgeous setting of their Napa Valley wedding venue, and you have a recipe for a one of a stunning start to a wedding celebration!! After some couples portraits and wedding party portraits throughout Jacuzzi Vineyards it was time for their ceremony to start!

Their Outdoor Wedding Ceremony in Napa Valley

In terms of outdoor ceremony spaces, Jacuzzi Vineyards has one of the most stunning and scenic spaces I’ve seen to date.🍇 With the space looking out over the vineyard itself, the massive fountain directly behind the ceremony space, and the gorgeous villa of the vineyard itself behind the crowd, it really was a jaw dropping setting for their Napa Valley wedding ceremony.

As the ceremony progressed it was time for Stephanie to walk down the aisle. This caused some more tears of joy from both Mark as well as some guests in the crowd. It’s so beautiful to see how much love these two share for one another, but also how deeply their friends and family care for them as well! After saying their “I Do’s”, Stephanie and Mark began exiting their ceremony as bubbles filled the air around them. They spent a moment dancing with the live band during their cocktail hour before sneaking off for some family portraits.

Dancing the Night Away at Jacuzzi Vineyards

Jacuzzi Vineyards has a stunning outdoor ceremony space, but would you  believe me if I told you their indoor space is JUST as beautiful?! Between the jaw dropping marble entryway, the wine barrels lining the walls, and the string lights providing the absolute most romantic setting✨, the vibes were literally perfect for Stephanie and Mark’s celebrations! After their entrance, Stephanie and Mark went right into their first dance which was SO much fun! They had live music for their reception which really brought that next level energy to the night. With delicious food, plenty of heartfelt speeches, and a night filled with dancing, it’s safe to say that Stephanie and Mark’s Napa Valley wedding was one for the ages!!

A huge congratulations to Stephanie and Mark on putting together a one of a kind wedding celebration at Jacuzzi Vineyards in Napa Valley!
