They walked through the barn, their loved ones lining the aisle, as one final hoopla before leaving the venue for the evening. Before we parted ways, she held me so tight as her voice cracked expressing her appreciation. After listening to over a dozen speeches given by their nearest and dearests at both the rehearsal and reception, I really shouldn’t have been surprised. This is Anastasia. A woman who loves people so deeply, and consciously takes the time to show them they matter. She found love in a partner who is quick to share joy and loves just as authentically as she does. Their celebration was epic. And as gorgeous as the last two days were, the abundance of stories… reminiscing of who these two were before, how they found each other, and how absolutely perfect they are for each other… each story so moving and honest. I’m always in awe when paying witness to love like this. Watching groomsmen wiping away tears during vows. And family members completely in awe and their parents vocalizing that their child’s new spouse quickly became a new pride and joy in their life. All of it. 💛 The most lovely people I get to call my colleagues: Venue: @lalomitaranch @lalomitaranchweddings Planner: @sandcastlecelebrations Florist: @lori_boe_floral Caterer: @fieldtotableevents Bar: @copperandcrystal Baker: @cakesbyjudycakes Makeup: @thequeensbees Bridal Dress: @annebarge Bridal Boutique: @enblanc_la Rings: @cassysabajewelry DJ: @kramerevents Rentals: @gycrentals @foundrentalco @allaboutevents Invitations + signs: @feteandquill Video: @lumahouse Transportation: @sloweddingshuttles And an extra special thanks for @jessicasofranko being my wingwoman for the day!
