Allegretto Resort Wedding | Cheri and Michael

Cheri and Michael’s Summer Allegretto Resort Wedding

Last week, we were honored to capture Cheri and Michael’s stunning Allegretto Vineyard Resort wedding! It was such a perfect, sunny day in Paso Robles to celebrate their love. Every detail of their day was so unique to their love, from the wine cork centerpieces to the courtyard ceremony with their pup, Roxy. Cheri and Michael are a perfect match for each other. Their wedding day was spent surrounded by friends and family who had the sweetest things to say about the two of them. It truly was such a special day, and we were so lucky to have been a part of it!

How They Met…

The first time Cheri saw Michael, they were eating sushi at a local hole-in-the-wall restaurant sitting next to a window that had been shot! Despite the ambiance (and the fact that Cheri only ate cooked seafood), they ended up not only living through the meal, but also hitting it off. Seven years later, Cheri and Michael continue to frequent this restaurant regularly.

They share a love of traveling, with their first adventure in Santorini, Greece. They enjoyed the captivating sunsets while sipping vin santo wine overlooking the breathtaking beach (they recall that it took them a bit to realize they had to crawl through the living room window to get to their patio). This was the first adventure of many more to come. One of their favorite destinations is Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. There, Michael loves to surf, and Cheri enjoys hanging upside down on aerial silks from the trees! It was magical to swim with the bioluminescent plankton, exhilarating to jump into Montezuma Falls, and mouth-watering to sample local fish caught that morning.

Their story would not be complete without mentioning their golden retriever, Roxy. Though she tries to eat everything and will spend hours trying to catch her tail, she brings them so much love and joy with her uncontrollable excitement when they walk through the door. You never know when she might pop up (or jump up)!
