Nestldown is a beautiful venue tucked into the tall redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The ceremony site is framed by a trellis with a lake behind. There are some humorous touches with a topiary garden and small playhouse. A mini train can carry the bride and groom to the reception and guests for a ride around the property. A second pond teeming with coi is next to the reception “barn.” Thomas John catering is always about artistic presentation, great flavors, and attentive service.

“Joyce and Randy, J. Perlman R. Lutge Photography, are creative, patient and kind people to work with. Prior to the wedding, they were extremely generous with their time in order to give advice and answer questions, even on topics that were not directly related to photography. I knew from looking at their portfolio they had a very talented eye for capturing beautiful candid moments that portrayed a lot of movement and emotion. They captured all the emotions; tears, laughter, nervousness, excitement and joy. We are very thankful to them for being so considerate and intentional in every photo they took. Through the engagement shoot, they prepare diligently to ensure they capture the most important people and moments for you and they understand your level of comfort when it comes to taking photos. We appreciated how easy they were to talk to, their patience with us and the extreme efforts they took to meet our desires for capturing all aspects of the wedding day. We highly recommend Joyce and Randy.”—Martha and Greg, Nestldown

“Both Randy and Joyce have happy, relaxed, yet professional personalities. The photographs have a strong artistic quality conveying an accurate depiction of the look and feel of our event and our personalities.
Joyce and Randy are exactly the kind of people you would like to have at your wedding. They are just lovely, warm, fun and relaxed. It is easy to have them around. They know what they are doing so you don’t have to worry and be concern. You can totally trust them. The engagement session was a great idea, we got to know each other and knew what to expect. I am just preparing our wedding album and cannot stop looking at our photos. It is so important to have good photographs, I know I will always love them. They will bring beautiful memories and will remind us of Joyce and Randy. They helped to create them. We were lucky to find them. I would recommend Joyce and Randy to everyone. You will be grateful!” —Majka and Bryan Boyle
