Real Wedding Feature - Jennica + Dave | A Look Back to July 25, 2015

Krissi Trevino, Lomas Santa Fe CC

Continuing our look back to spring and summer 2015 weddings as we wrap up the 2015 year, we celebrate another Real Wedding Feature of Jennica + Dave from July 25, 2015 at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club.

If these two are not models, they should be! Jennica and Dave Smith graced us with their lovely wedding on July 25, 2015. I knew Jennica and I were going to be a good fit from the moment we had our site tour and the rest is history.  Please enjoy the sunflower extravaganza that is the Norby Smith Wedding.

The Road to the Ring:

The couple met in high school at Valhalla in 2005 through our group of friends. They hung out as friends until the relationship seemed inevitable. Although they didn’t attend prom together, halfway through the night, they realized they needed to be together.

The proposal took place on October 5, 2014 during a vacation they took to Whistler, BC, Canada.

“It was our first vacation together in 3 years. The first day of our trip, we booked a rock climbing tour with a guided outfitter. After 3 hours of climbing 1500 vertical feet, we reached the top of Whistler Mountain. David asked me over to the corner of the mountain for a picture, which turned into him pulling the ring out of his pocket. After a few cherished words, he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. Our guide was able to capture the moment with some breathtaking photos. David had informed our guide weeks before about the proposal, and he brought a bottle of champagne in his backpack for the celebration. The vacation was off to a great start!”

The Details:

The bride describes her theme as Country Vintage. Sunflowers and succulents were dripping from every aspect of the day from the matching sunflower bridesmaids robes to the oversized wedding arch also adorned with a white chandelier. The bridesmaids dresses, purchased from Prevue Formal and Bridal, were a gorgeous floor-length navy, which added to the drama of the look. Tour of Elegance is responsible for the amazing custom dress that Jennica rocked down the aisle, complemented by the talents of Makeup By Shelby  and Aubrey Philpot as the glam squad. The chalkboard cake was created by the team Sweet Cheeks Baking Company who captured the theme expertly along with The Flower Shop, who finished off the look with the amazing floral details… sunflowers everywhere! One of the more special details was the traditional Danish toast of liquor called Akavit. It is no longer imported in the United States, so the bride’s uncle from Sweden was kind enough to bring it along and keep their family tradition alive. There to capture all of these moments was talented husband and wife team of Jeff+Amber. They had some beautiful subjects and details to work with but wow, can they shoot!

Thank you to Jennica and Dave for sharing their big day with us here at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club!

Quotes from Bride and Groom:

Dave: “You think about your wedding day as an event that will transform your life. For me, that moment happened when I saw my bride walking down the aisle. Nothing can prepare you for that moment. It captures you, surrounds you and reminds you that she is the one for you.”

Jennica: “Besides saying it was the best day of my life, I would have to say the favorite part of the day for me was the first dance. For those 3 minutes, I didn’t hear anyone else in the room; it was just my husband and I singing to each other. We were able to take in what just happened and that we were finally married. After all of the planning it was so enjoyable to just relax and dance with each other!”
