I kinda had a feeling after our engagement session with Nicole and Ali, that their wedding was going to be a favorite of mine. . and I was so right. They chose the gorgeous 1890 Event Space as the backdrop for their December wedding, and they had cactus/succulents EVERYWHERE — I was in heaven. I mean, wait till you see Nicole’s bouquet, it might be THE best bouquet ever. The brides spent the morning with their family and closest friends; sharing jokes and old stories. Even though the brides wanted to wait and see each other till they walked down the isle; they did want to do a few photos before hand with a blindfold — I happily obliged. I think this really helped calmed their nerves, yet still have that element of anticipation and surprise. Nicole’s Aunt officiated their intimate ceremony — btw, be sure to check out their altar…. Ali and her dad and bro-in-law made it. It’s GORGEOUS ! And in lieu of a unity candle or sand, the couple opted to plant a tree — which I thought was so unique and special. The day, although slightly cold was gorgeous— I feel like I’ve said “gorgeous” a million times already. . but everything was gorgeous — especially brides, and not just on the outside, the inside too. These two have hearts of gold and I’m so happy our paths crossed. I wish you two the absolute best xoxomo
