We are super in love with Seattle wedding photographer Julie Harmsen. She knocked this San Juan Capistrano wedding out of the park. Not only are the photographs beautiful but the wedding is to die for!
Bride Nicole went for a simple rustic wedding with hints of vintage flair. They chose The Villa, which is a perfect venue for a romantic vintage wedding. This San Juan Capistrano wedding venue promotes an intimate, social, party-type setting, where everyone can mingle without ever feeling too far removed.

Absolutely gorgeous! May I ask where the wedding dress sash is from? Did it come with the dress or did the bride get it separately? It is exactly what I am looking for to go with my dress!
Cute cute cute! I recognize those Pottery Barn keys on the seating chart :)
gorgeous! love the fonts on the menu
Thanks so much for sharing this wedding! They were such an amazing couple to work with. @Alicia, I’ll find out about the sash. :)
we super heart you Julie…. stay tuned from a LOVE inspired d.i.y from Julie.
The key seating chart is a great idea!! Love it!!
The keys!!!!! Love them. Also love the color of the bridesmaids dresses…unique and beautiful.
So creative…I LOVE the keys!!!
The vintage keys, the adorable menus, the cake! And that belt on her dress…all fabulous!
I LOVE the font they used for their menus. By any chance can anyone tell me what that font is? Thanks! Gorgeous pics!
gorgeous!! so classy and detailed :)
I love the Aussie eucalyptus leaves – absolutely stunning wedding x
Steph,
The bride said the font is called “Never let go”. :)
Thanks Wedding Chicks for featuring this wedding! I loved working with Nicole and her family! Such wonderful people make a beautiful wedding. Julie, the photos are stunning. So glad we finally got to work together :) Congrats to Nicole & Patrick. Weddings in SJC are awesome!!
Fantastic wedding gown!
If the bride is willing to resell the keys, have her contact me! Triedandtrueweddings@gmail.com. I’m actually wanting to do something similar for my own wedding.
@alicia, the bride bought the sash separately from the white dress in Corona Del Mar.
@amber olson The keys were the guests wedding favors so they each took them home. I think you can find them at Pottery Barn. http://www.potterybarn.com/products/vintage-keys-set/?pkey=e|key|4|best|0|1|24||1&cm_src=PRODUCTSEARCH||NoFacet-_-NoFacet-_-NoMerchRules-_-
