Wine & Roses Wedding | Leslie & Taylor

Leslie and Taylor’s wedding at Wine and Roses in Lodi was exactly what you’d hope for from a couple like them.. easygoing, full of personality, and centered around the people they love most. These two aren’t the overly serious, picture-perfect type and that’s what made the day feel so real to us. It wasn’t about perfection, it was about presence and they showed up for it fully.

They’ve known each other since high school which shows in their relationship with a kind of comfort, history, and goofiness that only comes from growing up together. Taylor is sentimental at heart (even if he covers it with jokes), and Leslie’s the kind of person who brings out the best in everyone around her. They both said the other makes them laugh constantly, and that energy showed through the entire day.

One thing that really stuck with us when we first chatted with the couple was how much Taylor values seeing the parts of weddings that often go unnoticed - the little things people do when no one’s watching. It’s not just about the two of them, it’s about everyone else who showed up to support them. They really wanted to remember who was there and relive the little moments they might’ve missed. That’s the heart behind everything they planned and it gave the whole day a deeper meaning.

From a sweet first look and heartfelt vows to singing Smash Mouth - Allstar with the wedding party to all the crazy and loving speeches from all the family members, the day was full of genuine connection. Honestly, hanging with these two felt like we were just tagging along for a really fun and meaningful day with friends. That’s something we’ll never take for granted.

Thanks again so much for having us be a part of your day, Leslie & Taylor. Cheers to forever!

With love,
