Julie & Paul in Nevada City, CA

Deciding on a venue was the easy part -- Julie Elliott had her heart set on getting married outside her family's home in picturesque Nevada City. The problem was that Julie and her fiance Paul Jarratt quickly learned that living in London and planning a wedding in California was no small task. But a positive attitude and helpful relatives in the States made it (almost) a breeze to prepare for their dream wedding -- an intimate English garden party meets small-town America.
