A Modern Chic French Estate Wedding With Bold Colors

Share

Get ready, because the fun and unique style of Daniel and Kirsten’s wedding at The French Estate was nothing short of UHMAZING. These two infused their heart and soul into creating a unique, modern chic day that really resonated with their personal style.

Basically we wish we were invited because this wedding looked like a blast. From the bride and groom playing with the band to their traditional Norwegian wedding cake, and all the bold pops of color throughout. Catch all the love below from Chrissy Gilmartin Photography and check out the gallery for a closer look.

From Chrissy Gilmartin Photography: I am so excited to share this OFF THE CHARTS, crazy cool wedding of the fabulous Daniel and Kirsten!! I knew from my very first conversation with Kirsten, when she let me know that her and Daniel wanted to take their engagement pics in Echo Park on the lake on huge swans that this would be one crazy amazing ride, and let’s just say their wedding was nothing short of a pure shot of RADNESS!!

telling the story of their love

From the stunning vintage estate, to the drop dead gorgeous BHLDN gown she wore, to the Uber funky colors that donned the reception, to the absolutely YUMMY Norwegian wedding cake, to the piñata filled with both treats for the kids AND the adults 😉, to the Vintage Model A car she arrived in… which has been in her family since her mother was a child! Every single detail was simply FABULOUS!! I was seriously in heaven!! One of the most eclectic weddings I have ever had the pleasure of photographing!! And the best part was how personal it was to my couple … with every last detail playing such a vital role in telling the story of THEIR LOVE!

Unique details

Each table was marked with a picture of a place that has significant meaning to them with an adorable note card telling why! And did I mention that their grand entrance into the reception included Daniel playing the guitar while singing, with Kirsten playing her saxophone, while their wedding party played along with them to their wedding guests?!?! Ummmm yessss!!! And to truly make this one of a kind, perfect wedding even better… their family and friends were absolutely the sweetest, funnest humans ever! There were tons of tears, lots of smiles, and amazing Bluegrass Music to be had all evening and I’m just so beyond grateful that I was there to witness the magic of it all!
