Rebecca and Jake’s love story unfolded like a cherished fairytale, filled with unexpected twists that only made their bond stronger.
May 2020
Their journey to the altar was not without obstacles—twice, the pandemic forced them to postpone their wedding. Yet, love has a way of triumphing over setbacks, and in May, they exchanged vows in an intimate, heartfelt ceremony. A few months later, on September 28th, they finally had the opportunity to capture the essence of their devotion with a breathtaking newlywed photoshoot at Nestldown in Los Gatos.
Nestldown, with its enchanting redwood groves and fairytale-like setting, was a venue they had long admired but never imagined they would have access to. The silver lining of their postponed wedding was that it led them to this dreamlike location , a place that turned their wedding portraits into timeless works of art.
For Rebecca, one of the most special moments of the day was finally revealing her wedding gown to Jake. For months, the Watters gown had been carefully tucked away in their closet, hidden from his view. The moment he saw her in it—elegant, radiant, and absolutely breathtaking—was pure magic. As they stood hand in hand, the beauty of the moment was heightened by the knowledge that, despite the hurdles they had faced, they were together, celebrating their love in the most picturesque setting.
Rebecca had chosen her gown from Brides on Hartz in Danville. While she never had a dramatic “this is the one” moment, she knew the dress was perfect for her. It was the most flattering of all she had tried on, and she was certain that Jake would love it just as much as she did. Her instincts were right—the dress, with its delicate silk fabric and timeless design, made her feel both stunning and confident.
Amidst the serene beauty of Nestldown, they shared sweet moments, laughter, and, of course, cake. The joy of the day was a reminder that love isn’t defined by a perfect plan, but by the moments shared between two people who choose each other every day.
With hopes of having a full wedding celebration in the future, Rebecca knew she wanted to preserve her gown for the day when they could finally say “I do” in front of family and friends. Understanding the delicate nature of her silk dress, she sought the expertise of Elegance Preserved. Their reputation, highly recommended by Brides on Hartz, gave her confidence that her gown would be treated with the utmost care. Through their meticulous wedding dress cleaning and wedding dress preservation services, Rebecca ensured that her gown would remain as pristine as the day she wore it.
