Elizabeth + Cole | A Beautiful Wedding at Naimoli Estate & Winery

Weddings Engagements

Elizabeth and Cole’s wedding at the Naimoli Estate Vineyard and Winery was one of the most sentimental and also most energetic weddings ever.

I had already determined that the Mathis-Abbott wedding would be both of those. Sentimental because this couple loves and loves deeply. Not only do they love each other with their whole hearts, but their friends and family as well. Make sure you scroll down to see Elizabeth’s first look with her dad. We were all in tears. And before the wedding, she asked me to make sure I captured Cole’s face when she came down the aisle. And OH SO energetic. I’ve photographed weddings for years, but the laughter, fun, and dancing with this one was one for the books. It was extra sweet to witness.

Elizabeth and Cole met at Lindsey Wilson in a Bible Study group. Based on their friend and family descriptions, I think it was love at first sight. Or at least excitement. Bre, Cole’s best woman (who also happens to be great friends with Elizabeth) told about Elizabeth’s excitement when Cole texted her for the first time. There was something about, “I just got a text from a really cute guy!!!” that is quite unforgettable. I think the rest is a beautiful history.

Hey you two, I LOVED photographing your wedding. Your joy and love for each other and life is contagious, and I hope you always have that zest. I smiled all the way home, and still smile every time I think of you. I pray that your joy never ends, even through the trials of life that will inevitably come. Love and blessings, Pat
