Jessica is honestly one of the most genuine and sweetest people I have ever met and it was such a pleasure to get to work with her and her beautiful family. Both her and Kyle were all smiles out at Talon Winery where the day was just absolutely perfect. The ceremony was very touching with Jessica’s sister singing for them and guests enjoyed a relaxing reception accompanied by some good music and a beautiful clear night. We wish them all of the happiness in the world and hope they had an amazing honeymoon out in Hawaii.

Take a look at the awesome vendors for this wedding and some beautiful pics of this amazing couple taken by the very talented Ben Keeling.

The Ritz-Carlton has long been supporting the communities around them with their Community Footprints Fund.  The money they donate focuses on Hunger and Poverty Relief, Well-being of Disadantaged Children and Environmental Conservation.   Last year alone they donated over $7.4 million in products and services to charitable organizations as well as over 40,000 hours of volunteer work.

I hope you are considering The Ritz-Carton for your wedding celebration, next vacation or business trip.  Their extraordinary service, gold standards and community envolvement is reason enough – but now that you know the Ritz-Carlton is doing more for the communities around them I know they will become the first choice for all of your travel and celebration needs.

The Ritz-Carlton has many locations throughout the US, Cananda, Mexico, Carribbean, Asia, South America, Europe and in the Middle East. (Wouldn’t it be great to visit each one — with over 80 different locations it could take a while!)  Just another reason to add it to my LOVE-IT folder!

Side-note:  Andrew did mention Hawaii last week… ;)
