Their wedding at The Lodge at Torrey Pines was personal and magical. Lilli and Cole kept things intimate with a guest list of 18 family members. They had their ceremony at a cozy spot in the middle of the hotel, afterwards retreating to an intimate space on the edge of the golf course for dinner. As everyone got settled in for dinner, the sun started to set and you could hear the wilder residents of the golf course welcoming the moon.
Read MoreI’m a firm believer that any kind of precipitation makes a wedding day more magical. Anyone can have a normal blue sky, but rain is something special that you can’t plan for. Weather is an opportunity for magic that not everyone can have! Plus, it usually brings really wonderful, soft light with it that makes everyone’s skin glow. Win win!

Besides the obvious savings on a venue, backyard weddings are a great way to have a personal wedding, in a setting that will be totally unique to you!

Brittany and Matt were able to throw the most personalized and perfect New England wedding, sharing the things they love with all the people they love most.

Friends and family came from all over the country to help throw the perfect party for these two.

Read MoreThis was a special day. Backyard weddings are just so freaking special! While I love a huge, wild party, watching a couple be surrounded by and enjoying the people they love the most in a place near and dear to them is always the ultimate for me.
Read MoreVintage Ranch was recently made over on an episode of Netflix’s “Stay Here”. I think it looked totally perfect in neutral tones with pops of mustard yellow and Lil Wayne. The location is huge but every inch seems intentional and is the kind of venue that you don’t even need to decorate. It’s the perfect spot for a big wedding but could totally work for an intimate elopement. From the barn to the vinyard to the most incredible tree to get married under, Vintage Ranch is a total dream for a wedding!
