Stephanie and Wilson first met in San Francisco in 2019, just before Christmas. They hit it off right away and started dating soon after. Seven months later, they moved to Marin, leaving San Francisco behind to begin a new chapter together. Wilson later surprised Stephanie with a proposal in the vineyards of Napa, their favorite local getaway, marking the beginning of their next adventure. The couple imagined a romantic outdoor wedding, and their dream came to life beautifully.
Couple's Morning & Fashion
Stephanie’s wedding look and makeup was the perfect balance of sophistication and natural beauty. Wearing a stunning strapless gown, Stephanie’s chic glam ponytail by Breanna Cahoon Hair and flawless, classic makeup by Bella Glow Studio perfectly enhanced her radiant look. The talented team at Bella Glow Studio created a subtle makeup look, emphasizing her features with a minimalist approach. The result was a timeless, sophisticated look that made Stephanie feel like the best version of herself on her big day.
A soft pop of “something blue” came through her exquisite Badgley Mischka shoes, adding a personal touch to her look. With a bouquet of white roses and anemones framed by lush greenery, Stephanie was a picture of grace as she walked down the aisle, ready to begin her new chapter.
