Nestldown Wedding: Tracy + Matt

Nestldown Wedding Ceremony, Los Gatos, Santa Cruz

Tracy & Matt were married under a canopy of tall redwoods at the ever so dreamy location of Nestldown in Los Gatos, CA in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Tracy made a stunning entrance as she descended down the tall winding staircase on the arms of both of her parents into the redwood grove. Tracy and Matt’s three beautiful dogs got gussied up for the occasion too with flower crowns and bowties. The dogs seemed eager to see their dog parents make it official when they ushered bridal party to the ceremony at full tilt!

The couple rode in on a train to be greeted by their friends and family for their cocktail hour, which their guests then got to take for a ride too. It was a hit with kids and adults alike! I also saw many guests enjoying a stroll through the beautiful grounds and taking photos. Tracy and Matt chose some classy and unique blue floral china to serve dinner on, and I appreciated the nod to the forest with the tree branch-like cake. The desert bar by La Boca Fina was on point– I tried a couple of morsels and they were truly mouthwatering. In the end, they finished the evening with dancing and s’mores. What more could you ask for?!

The image is a 35mm film scan with my cute little 90's Konica point-and-shoot. I've been working in more film and having a blast. More film to come.⁠
