Wedding Ceremony and Reception:  Mariposa Art Park

Flowers:  Bloom {formally Bella Donnas}

Cake:  The Cake Guy

This was a FUN wedding!  Jen, Brian and I loaded the cake and flowers in the car and headed to the quaint little town of Mariposa.   We arrived… settled in a bit… set up the cake… and did a little looking around before I started shooting for the day.  The ceremony was in an adorable little park called the Art Park next to an antique store called Chocolate Soup.  It was definitely the most unique ceremony I’ve attended from the Princess Bride lines that carried throughout to the guest sipping wine as they watched Chris and Carrie say ”I do”.  After the ceremony we spent a few hours at the reception before heading down the street for dinner.  If there is one thing that the three of us have a hard time with is deciding on where to eat our meals.  We finally settled on a restraunt called Savoury’s.  All you have to do is walk in the front door and take a deep breath in and the aroma alone will make you want to stay.  It doesn’t hurt that the place is full of character and charm.  It was full, but the owner was sweet enough to create us a small table in the middle of the room so we could stay for dinner.  And the dinner didn’t dissapoint!  We had the most wonderful green chile soup that Brian and I have been trying to replicate ever since (to no avail… so far… but we aren’t giving up yet) and the chicken was great, too.  If you feel like making the treck to Mariposa… look up Savoury’s!  They have moved to a new location just down the street.  You can’t miss it.  :)
