Antioch Brownstone Gardens Wedding Matt & Natalie are MARRIED!

Oh, how I love this wedding! The colors are so bright and beautiful and Matt and Natalie were an awesome couple to work with. They were willing to do anything, and yet always stayed calm, relaxed and centered with each other. PERFECTION!

The wedding was in Antioch at the couple's home church, with a reception following at this awesome little oasis on the other side of town called The Brownstone Gardens. I loved it. If I didn't live in Sacramento, I would consider this venue for my reception! You could do an awesome ceremony there too. Beautiful sculptures and wonderful landscapeing. Twinkle lights galore once the sun went down! One of my very favorite parts of this wedding though was Natalie's cousin, who took sang. The man ROCKS! He was an awesome singer and I was so entertained by just watching him. Just a guitar and I think a foot tambourine, or something else extremely simple- so amazing. With a beautiful wife and baby to boot! His version of Crash into Me (Dave Matthews) was awesome. By far the best wedding singer I've ever encountered, and if the guy ever puts out a CD, I'd be the first to buy it. Hands down! He had everyone on their feet all night. :) Ben Benkert www.NatalieAndMatt.Shutterfly.com



































































Natalie & Matt served SNOW CONES immediately after their wedding to help combat the heat! Awesome!


Let's check out the reception area, shall we?



Ooooh, place cards...



Table...



Oooooh, centerpieces...





Pretty favors... One like this is on my coffee table. :)



Natalie talked about dropping some extra $$ for these chair covers, but SOOO worth it, don't you think? I loved them. The chairs underneath were really simple, so it really dressed up the event overall with that gorgeous fabric and rich colors...





And the space overall...





Let's check out the CAKE! Aren't the cake toppers awesome? Natalie got them of Etsy.com for a deal and just changed the colors to suit her wedding palate!






Ok, I think its time for some mushy smoochy-pooh couple's pictures of these two (LITERAL!) love-birds!
