Found our wedding venue!

Finally, after months and months of looking at venues from Orange County to Ventura County, we finally fell in love with the Spanish Hills Country Club in Camarillo, CA! The fiance and I took a tour with the wedding coordinator Briane, and it was just gorgeous! Even just the drive up to the venue was scenic, and it was everything we were looking for. We love the old spanish mission type feel, which is why we LOVE Santa Barbara (and where he proposed!), so this venue totally fit the bill. As soon as we parked, Jon said to me "Babe, this is it. I don't wanna look anywhere else, I just know this is the place". And I felt it too, I was so giddy walking in because I knew we would not be disappointed and I was right! And they are allowing me to create my own dessert/candy station! Since we will be spending most of 2011 to save up since we are paying for most of the wedding ourselves (and now that my car is newly paid off whew!), the big day will most likely be early 2012 so plenty of time to plan and just take my time with it. Takes the stress off a bit.

Here are some pics I took today (first three), as well as other pics I found online from other photographers that covered past weddings at this venue. Totally love the lighting and decor!
