Mar + Scott: History Park Wedding Reception in San Jose

The love present on a wedding day is unlike anything else.  It fills the day with such joy and happiness.  For Mar and Scott, they had a whole week of wedding joy that started with a small and intimate ceremony in New Mexico and ended with a celebration of their love at a reception the following week in San Jose.  And what a celebration it was.

From the details to the venue, I loved how this wedding reception was a reflection of how special they are as a couple.  One of my favorite details was the centerpieces of both the cocktail tables and reception tables.  The tables were named after a bottle of wine that Mar and Scott had drank over the past year with family and friends.  Each had a card that explained what the occasion was and who was there with them on that particular day.  It was a sweet personal touch and such fun to read through them all.  Their reception was held a few Saturday’s ago in San Jose.  And on that day, surrounded by friends and family, Mar and Scott made a bit of their own history in History Park.

Mar and Scott, a heartfelt thank you!  We loved getting to know you guys throughout this past year and truly enjoyed being a part of your wedding day. It was such an honor to be witness to a love that is so beautiful. Hope you had a spectacular honeymoon in Italy filled with relaxation (and a bit of Italian wine).  xoxo

This was one of my favorite guest book ideas I’ve seen!  What a great piece of art to later hang in their home.

The reception started in the late afternoon with a cocktail hour and a bit of mingling with their guests.

And who doesn’t love surprise fireworks?  The San Jose Giants were right across the street so the guests also got to enjoy a fireworks show.

I love these last two frames from the very end of the night.  Mar and Scott’s family and friends encircled them as the last songs began to play.
