A Rollicking, Romantic Fitz Place Wedding

Now it’s one thing to spend time with a couple at their engagement session, when they’re flying high with hope for the future. It’s another to follow them through their wedding day, seeing just who they are when nerves, schedules, and family converge. If Katelyn and Robert’s Fitz Place wedding day was any indication, these two are ready for anything.

Katelyn’s the one with the smiling eyes, only outshone by her 8-cylinder smile. Robert’s the stoic fella who jokes more than he laughs, and who’s likely wrenching on an 8-cylinder engine right now. Though they met each other at central California’s Hume Lake, their professional life took them each to the Bay Area where their love grew into something sweet enough to make permanent.

So when it came time for the big day, Katelyn and Robert retreated to the rolling hills and farmland of the South Bay’s San Martin for a cozy Fitz Place wedding. It’s a charming place set apart from the hustle and bustle of Silicon Valley, even though it’s just a stone’s throw away. Here’s a glimpse at their wedding story…

Sugar and spice, snips and snails—they all seem to blend together for a wonderful recipe in these two. Between Katelyn’s unreserved smile, to Robert’s sense of humor and can-do attitude, I can see that these two will make life far more interesting for the rest of the planet Earth. Not to mention making life plenty interesting for each other.

We’re blessed to serve you, Katelyn and Robert, and we pray that the years ahead are the best yet!
