Katie and Joey's May wedding at Walnut Grove at Tierra Rejada Farms in Moorpark was full of sunflowers, lavender and so much laughter. From an emotional first look by the white fences to a ceremony beneath a sunflower arch in the walnut orchard and a reception that danced long after dark, here are some of our favorite moments from their Walnut Grove wedding.
The One Where The Bride Gets Ready
Katie's off-the-shoulder gown hung from the pergola in Walnut Grove's rose garden while she got ready with the people she loves most.
The One With The First Look
Joey waited by the white fence at the edge of the orchard, and when Katie tapped his shoulder, the happy tears came right away. Their first look was one of our favorite moments of the whole day.
The One With The Couple
We took Katie and Joey through Walnut Grove's eucalyptus trees and walnut orchard for portraits in the warm afternoon light, complete with spins, laughs and a sunflower and wildflower bouquet. The orchard is one of our favorite spots in Moorpark for wedding portraits.
The One Where They Say I Do
Their outdoor ceremony took place in the Walnut Grove orchard beneath a wooden arch covered in sunflowers. Guests stayed cool under white paper parasols, and the newlyweds walked back up the aisle through a cloud of bubbles and confetti.
The One With The Group Photographs
Bridesmaids in lavender, groomsmen in navy and plenty of jumping: Katie and Joey's wedding party brought the fun.
The One At Cocktail Hour
Sunflower centerpieces, handwritten escort cards and a family photo display set on wine barrels welcomed guests to cocktail hour.
The One Where They Party
The reception moved to Walnut Grove's patio by the stone fireplace, with string lights, heartfelt speeches, a sunset first dance and a dance floor that stayed packed all night.
