Jake & Carmen | Piedmont Private Estate Wedding

Jake and Carmen are a one of a kind couple. These two will always keep you laughing! The two of them both graduated from Yale and now work for Teach for America in Mississippi. We have yet to hang out with this awesome couple in the same state more than once. We met them in Seattle, shot their engagement session in Mississippi and then their wedding in California. We all share a love for Catan which makes me even more sad that they live so far away.

Jake and Carmen’s wedding was simply gorgeous. It took place at her aunt and uncle’s estate in Piedmont, CA. AMAZING! Everything about it was stunning, including Carmen herself. These two radiate love and seeing the way Jake loves his bride is incredible. We loved every minute of this wedding from the first look to all the Yale traditions like the passing of the trophy that everyone drinks out of. We couldn’t stop laughing with this crowd. Oh and did I mention there were only 70 guests…MY FAVORITE! We LOVE small weddings. They’re so sweet and intimate and it feels like a big family gathering. It was so fun getting to hang out with all their friends and family and feel so welcomed. I’m so sad the day is over because I don’t know when we’ll get to see these two love birds again. Maybe we’ll just take another trip to good ole MS to play some Catan.

Jake and Carmen, we could not be more happy for the two of you. Thank you so much for making us feel like family on your big day. We’re so excited you’ve joined the married club! Love you guys!
