Intimate Late Summer Sonoma Wedding at Chateau St. Jean

Captured beautifully by Kreate Photography, today's real wedding with planning by Alicia K Designs and florals by Charlotte & Daughters — well, let's just say, it's a total must-see!

As for the proposal? Ben proposed when he and Paige were traveling in Iceland. They were exploring some of the natural sites, and while Paige was standing on top of a crevice in the earth where the Northern and European tectonic plates meet, Ben got down on one knee.

Needless to say — she said, "Yes!" and they immediately found a gas station to buy a bottle of champagne to begin celebrating. That night, they stayed in the middle of nowhere and watched the Northern Lights dance and move across the sky.  So very romantic! And their wedding day at Chateau St. Jean was equally dreamy.

From Kreate Photography, "Their vision for the wedding was, 'natural elegance with an urban edge.' They wanted it to feel modern yet timeless at the same time, and it turned out absolutely incredible!"
