Derek and Meghan’s wedding at The Homestead in Oak Glen, California was an outdoor rustic chic dream!

The Homestead in Oak Glen is a beautiful wedding venue with views of the surrounding mountains, tree tops, rose garden, natural springs and even some friendly wildlife!

Derek and Meghan appreciate the natural outdoors and love to adventure together! They couldn’t have selected a more perfect wedding venue for their amazing day. So many beautiful details from the ceremony area decorated with their most favorite family & engagement moments to photos of loved ones no longer with them.  Cocktail hour included an array of delectable cookies and what is known as The Pittsburgh Cookie Table.

Celebrations continued with a toasts that left us all teary eyed, a fun photo-booth, an area for roasting smores,  a wildlife visitor during their first dance, (you’ll want to scroll to see this!). The night ended with more laughs, dancing and the sweetest surprise by the Groom to his Wife…leaving the venue in style in a Classic Rolls Royce!

It was such a beautiful wedding day surrounded by their wonderful family and friends! Enjoy taking a peek at their outdoor wedding at The Homestead.

 

Congratulations Derek and Meghan! May your lives continue to be full of more amazing memories and adventures together! Hugs! Erica & Brock

"I love how she was organized and created a perfectly orchestrated timeline for our wedding. She made my OCD heart pitter patter!!!
 I couldn’t be more thankful for her talent and beautiful heart.
Stalking her Instagram page was the best decision I ever made!!! I’m forever indebted to Mrs. Erica, my forever friend."  -  Marissa
