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!

Wondering How To Make Your Wedding Outfit A Little More *you*? Just Because Brides Are Almost Always Portrayed The Same Way In The Media Doesn’t Mean There’s A Blueprint You Have To Follow! I’m Not Even Talking About Breaking The Mold And Tying The Knot In Black- Though That Is Definitely A Conversation We’ve Got To Have!- I Mean Little Details On Your Ivory Gown, The Way You Do Your Hair, Or Accents On Your Suit. Here, There Was A Strong But Subtle Floral Theme; The More You Look, The More You See! There’s The Big, Classic Bouquet, Of Course, And A Boutonnière For Our Groom, But Also A Dainty Flower Crown That Adds A Little Something Something Without Taking Any Attention Away From This Stunning Bride. The Gown Is Special, Too— Not Only Is It A Softer, Off-white Color That Looks Soo Dreamy And Elegant, But It’s Got Floral Appliqués To Add To Its Charm. And Since Groom’s Fashion Is Underrated, We Have A Floral Tie That Brings The Whole Look Together! You Can Ask Matt How Much He Loved This @daziusa Tie- Who Would Want To Go Back To Solids Or Stripes After This?

Costa Rica Was Always On The To-do List Of Destinations For This Adventurous Couple. Kristen Said “we’ve Always Been Drawn To Costa Rica. We Wanted To Go Somewhere Where We Could Surf, Go Zip Lining, And Have A More Eventful Type Of Celebration.” However, Believe It Or Not, This Dreamy Cala Luna Wedding Was Not What They Originally Planned.when Imagining Their Perfect Wedding This Couple Hadn’t Always Pictured An Intimate Family Wedding. Kristen Said “we Went Back And Forth Quite A Bit On What Type Of Wedding We Wanted To Have. Casey Really Wanted To Elope So We Started To Plan That. Then Two Months Before The Wedding, We Started Missing Our Families While Abroad And Quickly Realized How Important It Was For Us To Have Our Family There Too. She Contacted Us And We Immediately Made All Of The Changes.the Guest List Now Jumped Up To 12. We Invited The Parents, Siblings And Grandparents Then Planned Everything For Them - From Transportation To Accommodation And Every Meal In Between. This Made It Such An Easy Decision And Took All The Stress Away.celebrating With The People They Love In The Destination Of Their Dreams, The Happy Couple Is Thrilled With The Overall Decision Of Not Having A Traditional Wedding. Everything From The Price To The Stress Levels Is A Lot Lower When Planning A Destination Wedding Kristen Says, “i’d Make The Same Decision A Million More Times.”the Cala Luna Is An Awesome Wedding Venue Located On A Secluded Slice Of Pristine Beach Called Playa Langosta, Just A Few Steps From The Pacific Ocean Known For Some Of The Most Spectacular Sunsets. We Loved Every Detail Of This Wedding From The Florals To The Reception.kristen And Casey Had A Wonderful Langosta Beach Ceremony, And Even Though Mother Nature Didn’t Cooperate Adding A Slight Rain Shower, This Wonderful Couple Continued Through The Ceremony And Photoshoot With The Costa Rican “pura Vida” Attitude Before Heading Back To The Celebrations!kristen Shared Some Advice For Other Brides Planning Their Perfect Destination Wedding. “listen To People, But Remember That Trying To Please Everyone Will Drive You To The Brink Of Insanity. In The End, I Know That I Would Have Gone Crazy Trying To Plan A Big Wedding We Didn’t Want In Order To Please Everyone Around Us,” She Says. “overall, Though, Have Fun With It. Don’t Begin Your Marriage In A Financial Hole You Created To Make Other People Happy. I Strongly Suggest Using A Wedding Planner For A Destination Wedding If You’ve Never Visited The Location Before. Meghan Really Gets All Of The Credit For The Planning. We Didn’t Have To Worry About A Thing.”see This Full Wedding Gallery On Https://milbesoscostarica.com/gallery/love-stories/cala-luna-wedding/video Captured By Nel Llanos

This Shoreside Chic Wedding Is A Beautiful One! This Bride Was The Perfect Balance Of Boho, Sophistication, And Poise. We Knew We Had To Create A Special Day That Was Unique To Her And Her Groom. We Started By Choosing This Laid Back And Intimate Hotel On The Beach To Host The Day!you Could Tell That Monica Was Really Close To Her Girls. You Could Hear Them Laughing Throughout The Beachfront Bed And Breakfast As They Got Ready For The Big Day. This Venue Has A Wonderful Honeymoon Suite That Overlooks The Pool And The Waves. The Bride Spent The Morning Lounging In The Hammock Soaking In The Stunning Views Sipping On Champagne. The Spacious Room Floods With Natural Light So It Is The Perfect Place For Getting Glam.the Groom And His Groomsmen Rocked A Very Laidback Style With Khaki Pants, White Button-downs, And No Ties. They Were Sure Glad Not To Be Wearing Full Suits In The Hot Costa Rican Summer Heat.monica And Baltasar Shared Sweet First Looks In The Green Tropical Garden. We Loved Monica's Beautiful Lace Gown With A Gemstone Belt That Added That Little Something Special. They Headed Down To The Shoreside Ceremony On Playa Langosta. The Vows Were Exchanged Under A Wooden Arch Covered In Lush Local Greenery. The Day Had Cooled Down A Bit With A Breeze From The Ocean.with Their Best Friends By Their Side, These Two Tied The Knot! Right After The Ceremony, They Headed Straight To The Beach With Coconut Cocktails In Hand. Everyone Stayed To Take Photos On The Beach And Admire The Sun Sparkling On The Water.as The Sun Started To Set, Everyone Headed Under The String Lights Strung Between The Trees To The Reception Area. They Dined Under The Stars And Enjoyed The Perfect First Night As Mr. + Mrs. Congrats You Two!video Captured By Forever Wedding Filmssee All The Details And Full Wedding Gallery On Our Wedding Feature: Https://milbesoscostarica.com/costa-rica-weddings/shoreside-chic-wedding/
