Once upon a time: A summer garden wedding

So many magical moments.

The Couple // Emilee and Kyle

The Venue // Eden Gardens, Moorpark, CA

I have known Emilee since she was around 14 years old and had the pleasure of being present at many magical moments. From watching her cheer (you still have those splits girl), to Prom photos to college tours (couldn't get her to leave UCSC where she ended up meeting Kyle!) and now her wedding day. When she asked me if I wanted to be her photographer or a guest, it was an easy decision. So very special for me.

The Ceremony - warm and heartfelt. Josh, the brides brother officiated, lending a very personal, loving and humorous element.

Flower grannies? Yes please!

WHAT. A. PARTY.

Guests danced the night away on the spacious patio.

And a sparkly send-off

Congratulations Emilee and Kyle.

Your wedding was warm and wonderful, just like you. Emilee's kindness, intelligence and funny, surprising quirkiness (digestible enzymes anyone?), and Kyle's calming presence, unruffled and present and wicked good dance skills (who knew?!?) will ensure the two of you keep each other laughing for a lifetime.

XOXO
