Antonio & Nika
A ceremony beneath the arched loggia of a century-old villa, white drape and garden roses framing the vows, and a reception that carried the day's formality into the evening.
The way it felt.
They were married beneath the villa's arched loggia, white drape and garden roses framing the ceremony, family and friends filling the lawn in front of them.
It is a formal setting, columns and manicured hedges giving the whole day real architectural weight, and Antonio and Nika leaned into that, a reception that carried the ceremony's elegance straight through the evening.
On Villa Montalvo.
Villa Montalvo is a century-old Mediterranean-revival villa in the hills above Saratoga, built in 1912 and now home to the Montalvo Arts Center. Formal gardens and cypress-lined walks surround the house, and the arched loggia along its front facade gives a ceremony real architectural presence without needing much additional structure. It is one of the more formal, historic properties we film in the Bay Area.
