Lauren & Robert - Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts

Summer on the East Coast is pretty special, but add in an adventure-filled afternoon exploring Martha’s Vineyard? It truly doesn’t get any more classic than that.

Lauren and Robert’s engagement session started on the southern coast near Aquinnah and ended in Edgartown at the Harbor View Hotel just as the evening’s storm came in. With the local hydrangea in full bloom and a bicycle full of Lauren’s favorite flowers, it was timeless New England style at its best. We laughed and played and even ended the evening with glasses of rosé and cups of clam chowder…

Looking forward to doing it all again for their destination wedding on the Vineyard next Summer with Nicole Simeral!

Location: Harbor View Hotel

Falon & Garret - Santa Ynez, California

Wanting to keep this moment just to themselves, Falon and Garret opted for a destination elopement in the beautiful gardens of Kestrel Park in Santa Ynez, California.

With Spring in full bloom at the estate, they were wed amongst flowering bushes of lilac, vibrant purple irises, budding fruit trees and pink camellias. And what could be sweeter than having the gardens to yourself for a pop of champagne after saying “I Do”?

Nina of Coco Rose Design created the most beautiful bouquet and boutonniere, drawing inspiration from the garden’s sweet florals and aromas, and both Falon and Garret chose classically elegant attire for the occasion.

It was one of those perfect, golden California days with two people very much in love. And wether it be an intimate elopement like theirs, or a larger multi-day celebration, I count myself incredibly lucky to be surrounded by this kind of hope and joy.
