Rethinking Wedding Favors: A Modern Take On A Classic Traditionrecently, We Shared A Tiktok In Our “wedding Etiquette Pt. 15” Series, Diving Into The Traditional Practice Of Wedding Guest Favors. This Sparked An Engaging Conversation About The Relevance Of These Tokens In Today’s Weddings, And We Couldn’t Help But Express Our Evolving Views On This Age-old Custom. This Had Us Rethinking Wedding Favors, Offering A Modern Take On A Classic Tradition.the Tradition Of Giving Wedding Favors Is Steeped In History, Tracing Back To The French Aristocracy And Upper Classes. The Term “wedding Favor” Originates From The French Word bonbonnière, Which Literally Means “box Of Bonbons.” These Bonbonnières Were Luxurious Small Gift Boxes Filled With Sweets Or Other Treats, Bestowed Upon Guests As A Gesture Of Gratitude And To Wish Them Good Luck.while This Tradition Carries A Certain Charm, We Believe It’s Time To Modernize And Personalize The Concept Of Wedding Favors. The Days Of Generic Chocolates, Mints, And Trinkets Are Behind Us. Instead, We Are Advocating For Favors That Enhance The Wedding Experience, Reflect The Couple’s Personality, And Offer Genuine Value To Guests. Here Are Some Of Our Favorite Contemporary Favor Ideas:1. Calligraphy Keepsakesintroduce A Touch Of Elegance And Personalization With A Live Calligraphy Artist At Your Reception. They Can Create Bespoke Items For Guests Throughout The Evening, Such As Luggage Tags, Themed Cups, Or Key Chains. These Keepsakes Not Only Align With Your Wedding Theme But Also Provide A Unique, Memorable Experience For Your Guests.

Here's Megan + Keagan’s Amazing Day! They Are So Kind, Refreshingly Genuine, And A Lot Of Fun To Be Around. I Met Up With Megan And Keagan At Their Hotel For Getting Ready Photos Prior To The Wedding. This Is Something That I Really Believe Is Important To Capture On Your Wedding Day. It Helps Tell The Full Story Of Your Day From The Beginning, You Get Some Great Photos, Plus We Get To Hang Out Even More ;) after Getting Dolled Up And Toasting With Some Yummy Champagne, It Was Time To Get These Two Married! We Headed To The Doyle, Which Is One Of My Favorite Wedding Venues. The Space Is Modern And Can Really Be Transformed Into Anything You Can Dream Of! Since Megan + Keagan Were Having A Micro Wedding, Small Ceremony And A Cake & Champagne Celebration With Their 20+ Guests, I Was Surprised To See How Intimate & Cozy The Set Up Turned Out In That Large Space. It Was Perfection! another Reason Why The Doyle Is One Of My Favorite Wedding Venues Is That They Have Llamas. Like, Really Adorable Llamas That I Want To Take Home With Me Every Time! I Mean, Just Look! Who Wouldn’t Want These Guys As Wedding Guests ;)

The First Time I Met Hayley And Matt Was On Their Tour Of The Paicines Ranch As They Searched For A Venue. Their Love And Life Enthusiasm Drew Me In Immediately As I Showed Them Around. I Wanted To Capture Their Wedding Day, And Fortunately, They Felt The Same. I Was Elated When They Asked Me!it Was Heartbreaking When They Had To Cancel Their 350 Person Wedding At Paicines Ranch Because Of Covid-19. They Rolled With It And Turned It Into A 35 Person Backyard Wedding At Matt’s Parents’ House In Gilroy. The Rest Of The Guests Would Hop On Zoom To Watch The Love Unfold. These Two Said “at Least We Have Each Other” And “it Is What It Is!”the Perfect Summer Day. And The Hemeon House Backyard Was Beautifully Decorated With Pastel Pops Of Color That Contrasted Against The Lush, Manicured Hidden Garden Feel. This Was A House That Already Had So, So Many Memories, And Now Would Be Filled With Even More.these Two Had A First Look That Would Have Brought Anyone To Tears. When Matt Saw Hayley For The First Time, The Emotion Shook The Earth. After Sweet Embraces And Unbridled Smiles, They Sat On The Swinging Bench And Exchanged Their Personal Vows With Each Other. What A Beautiful Way To Share A Quiet Moment, Where The Universe Both Melted Away And Felt Whole.the Ceremony Was Gorgeous As The Sun Lit Through The Trees And Smiles Could Be Seen On Everyone. When John, Their Officiant, Asked If They Took Each Other. Hayley Responded “hell Yes” And Matt Responded, “double Hell Yes!” They Both Beamed And Smiled, Laughed, And Threw Their Hands In The Air. Their Friends On The Zoom Call Could Be Seen Celebrating As Well.zanotto’s, Their Family Market And Catering Company, Was Busily Working In The Kitchen As Folks Enjoyed Cocktail Hour On The Front Lawn. What Looked To Be A Masked Flash Mob Approached Down The Street. It Was Their Friends And Family In The Area Doing A Congratulatory Walk-by! the Family Headed To The Backyard For Their First Dance, Then Stunning Dinner By Zanotto’s, Toasts, And A Cake-cutting That Involved Just A Dash Of Icing, Or Maybe A Little More, On Matt’s Face.dancing Commenced On The Front Driveway As Friends Continued To Drive By And Yell Excitedly Out Their Windows While Dancing. It Was A Drive-by Dance Party! The Night Ended With A Lightsaber Dance Party Battle.i Couldn’t Be Happier For These Two And The Incredible Life They Have Ahead! These Two Are Truly, Madly, Deeply Meant For Each Other, And Just As Much In Love. Their Love Radiated And Made Their Wedding So Special To Photograph!

Holly + Cody’s Jw Marriott Las Vegas Wedding Was Held On A Beautiful, Warm November Day. (side Note: How Lucky Are We To Live In A Place Where Weddings Can Go Well Into November And Even December And Still Be Perfectly Clear And Calm?!) The Two Come From Texas And Wanted The Fun Of A Vegas Destination, With The Elegance Of An Off-strip Resort. Holly And Her Girls Got Ready In Beautiful Suite With The Cutest Accessory Of All Time… Norman, The Couple’s Sweet Pomeranian. I Loved The Bridesmaids’ Deep Wine Colored Gowns–so Perfect For A Fall Wedding. Their Ceremony Site Was My Favorite Spot At Jw Marriott: The Lodge On The Lawn. It’s A Gorgeous Place To Have A Ceremony Among The Trees, And Afterwards Guests Go Right Down To The Patio To Enjoy Cocktail Hour Al Fresco. Cody Met His Bride At The End Of The Aisle, With Teary Eyes And The Glowing Sun Hanging Low Behind Them. My Favorite Shot Of The Day Was Immediately Following The Ceremony. After Being Pronounced Man And Wife, The Two Threw Their Arms In The Air And The Crowd Cheered As The Couple Beamed Out At Their Guests–so Joyous! Their Reception Was Held In The Beautifully Renovated Cascade Room, Decorated In A Blush Theme With Pops Of Red And Burgundy. They Danced All Night With The Help Of Their Amazing Band, Even Using A Microphone Stand As A Limbo Pole At One Point! Can’t Beat A Party Where Everyone Wants To Get Down On The Dance Floor. Congrats Holly + Cody!
