Carmel Valley, California Ranch Wedding // Rachel and Donald

Wedding
Written By Flora Gibson

Rachel & Donald had a beautiful ranch wedding in Carmel Valley, California. The day was filled with so much laughter, love, and boho goodness. Mountain to the sea co-styling worked with Rachel to transform this working horse ranch into the perfect wedding venue. Copper arches, Turkish rugs, and King protea (my favorite ) were everywhere. Rachel's father made all the copper arches, backdrops, and dress hangers. Rachel's sister made all the floral arrangements, so much love was poured into Rachel & Donald's beautiful forever and I was so honored to be a part of it.

H + J chose Carmel by the Sea for their engagement session. They have known each other since high school, and their relationship is so full of laughter that it was easy to capture them naturally. I appreciate both of you for trusting me to preserve this time of your life in Carmel. I love Carmel for engagement sessions as a variety of landscapes and the ability to get away from crowds is second to none.

K + J eloped this week in the beautiful redwoods of California. They stayed at the beautiful Glen Oaks Big Sur and brought their amazing friend Micheal to perform a heartfelt ceremony in the redwoods. My favorite part of their day was how they got ready together in such a sweet way and set aside 10 min for creative photos in the light of their cabin. I loved the small cake that their friend made them with the cutest cake topper! ( a Polaroid of them!)

Deetjens Big Sur is one of my favorite hotels for clients to stay at during their California elopement. It is one of the oldest hotels in Big Sur, with its charm and unique vibes. S + M got ready at the beautiful antique cabin in the woods and their ceremony under the redwoods, followed by a first dance and picnic at the beach. What a beautiful day!
