Luxury Villa Montalvo Wedding in Saratoga California - Jeremy & Laureise
A Timeless Summer Wedding at the Montalvo Arts Center: Capturing the Love Story of Jeremy & Laureise.
Let’s talk about the kind of wedding that feels like a dream you never want to wake up from. This beautiful, luxury, chic, and timeless outdoor summer wedding at the Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga, California, was everything and more. From the golden sunlight filtering through the trees to the heartfelt vows exchanged in the Italianate Garden, this celebration was nothing short of magical.
Now, let me introduce you to the stars of the show—Jeremy & Laureise. These two are not just clients; they’re the kind of people whose love story makes you believe in fate. Originally from Washington State, they made the big move to California about five years ago, bringing with them a love story that started back in college.
Their story begins on a long weekend in Whistler, Canada, during Presidents’ Day weekend in 2016 (or was it 2017?). The drinking age was 18, and the vibes were right. He’d seen her at the gym countless times but never worked up the nerve to say hello. Finally, he mustered up the courage to approach her and ask if he could buy her a drink. Little did he know, she’d already noticed him at the gym too. That one simple question turned into a date the very next week, and the rest, as they say, is history.
They’re both from Washington State—he grew up in Seattle, and she’s from eastern Washington. They’ve built a life together filled with love, adventure, and shared passions. She’s a yoga teacher who lives and breathes health and wellness, and he’s an active, Type A lawyer who somehow finds time to conquer ultra-marathons and Ironman races. When they’re not at home doting on their very spoiled fur child, Teddy, you’ll find them backpacking in the great outdoors or indulging in culinary adventures across Europe.
Their wedding day was a reflection of everything they love: timeless elegance, natural beauty, and meaningful connections. The Montalvo Arts Center provided the perfect backdrop, with its lush gardens, historic charm, and romantic terraces. They exchanged vows surrounded by blooming flowers and their closest loved ones, creating a moment that felt straight out of a storybook.
The reception was an intimate al fresco dinner under twinkling string lights. Guests dined on exquisite cuisine and danced the night away as the summer breeze rolled through the open-air venue. Every detail, from the lush floral arrangements to the soft candlelight, was thoughtfully curated to reflect their style and personalities.
