Bride and groom kissing in venue window

From Augusta Ottillia Photography:

Danielle and Michael's love story began at a bar in Germany. Fate played its hand as Danielle fondly recalls their initial encounter as an exciting coincidence (they are both from California) that swiftly evolved into destiny. From that moment their connection grew stronger as it was fueled by shared interests and supporting each other's dreams when they came back to the states.

As they were planning their wedding at Fallen Oaks Estate in April 2021 (in their 6th year of being together), Covid shifted their gears and they opted for a sweet and intimate gathering with just their immediate family in Danielle's sister's backyard and postponed the big celebration. The love and energy of that day set the stage for their big wedding party celebration at Fallen Oaks Estate one year later in April 2022.

Their Fallen Oaks wedding was a perfect sunny spring day. And, the sunset was absolutely stellar down on the pond for golden hour photos. They had a large wedding party boasting lots of color and hilarious personalities that complement Danielle and Michael, keeping the day lighthearted and at ease.

Danielle and Michael have a true zest for life (I can attest having known them for a decade!) They carry an infectious laughter and a dynamic energy. Every person at the wedding was on the dance floor with D+M, enjoying the photo booth, and congratulating D+M on their marriage and how thrilled they were for them!
