A getting-ready cottage
Bride Marisa got ready for the big day in the Tree Cottage at Glen Oaks with help from her mom, sisters, and friends. She carried a delicate bouquet of wildflowers by Willi Wildflower in a variety of sweet color and textures.
A ceremony amongst the trees
The couple and their wedding party took a short drive to Big Sur Lodge for the ceremony where they hosted it amongst the Redwood trees.
Celebration and champagne toasts
After saying I do, the bride and groom hosted a small celebration after with a champagne toast and wedding cake from Sweet Reba’s.
Puppy portraits
The couple’s family and friends gave heartfelt speeches, and after taking some family portraits – including, of course, photos with the couple’s beloved dog, Soho – the couple returned to Glen Oaks for portraits amongst the Redwoods.
Coastal portrait perfection
After the forest, the couple and their photographer drove up the coast to Garrapata State Park, where they finished off the most amazing day adventuring on the cliffs along the coast. The couple shared their first dance with the waves crashing as their soundtrack. It was truly a micro-wedding to remember!
