When it came to their wedding, both Bonnie and Filipe were excited to be with their favorite people all in one place.(Image: Michelle Lindsay Photography)

She also knew that she wanted a unique space with turnkey management so everything could be as streamlined as possible. (Image: Michelle Lindsay Photography)
Bonnie knew that District Winery was opening in Capitol Waterfront before they even broke ground, so she teed up a call with the winery to discuss their wedding day, and the rest is history! (Image: Michelle Lindsay Photography)
"We knew we wanted an amazing food and beverage spread and that is exactly what we got with District Winery." (Image: Michelle Lindsay Photography)

"While she described some fun and unique details for her day, I loved how her emphasis was more on celebrating with their family and friends, and making sure everyone had an amazing time ringing in the New Year!"(Image: Michelle Lindsay Photography)
Michelle was also drawn to the couple due to their love of candid, yet artistic, photography. (Image: Michelle Lindsay Photography)
"It was a perfect match and I was thrilled when [Bonnie] and Filipe wanted to work with me!" (Image: Michelle Lindsay Photography)
Michelle says the wedding will go down as one of the coldest she has ever photographed and she even had to bring hand warmers for portraits! Thank goodness Bonnie had gorgeous fur wraps and adorable earmuffs for her bridal party! (Image: Michelle Lindsay Photography)
