A FEW OF THEIR FAVORITE THINGS

The inspiration came from combining elements of provincial life, Provence, and springtime. These are the bride’s favorite things! The groom is a city guy who wants to give a country girl the world! She grew up on a farm and wanted to get married surrounded by animals. Bringing in elegance with a side of home, creating this lavish celebration, was such a special experience for us.

This mini-wedding had extra intimacy and warmth. This intimate ceremony was the perfect setting for capturing the true essence of the love these two share.
