How do you transform a community park into a cozy dinner and epic dance party? Just ask Garrett and Megan because their reception was off the hook! But first, I couldn’t pass up featuring our time wandering through the hills above their wedding site. Gorgeous right?? Yeah pretty much… 6 people love this   4 people love this   1 person loves this   2 people love this…

Bommer Canyon Wedding, Part Two
Garrett and Megan

The sweet and adorable DIY goodness continues today with Garrett and Megan’s rustic wedding ceremony at Bommer Canyon in Irvine. Garrett and Megan took this beautiful park and created a ceremony site from the ground up with rustic flair and personalized details by building an arbor structure and hanging lovely pieces of shredded fabric for the altar, and building an actual door for the entrance to the aisle. Be prepared – this family-centric, deeply emotional, and folk style ceremony is going to squeeze your heart strings so get your tissues ready! It’s a good one! 4 people love this  …

Bommer Canyon Wedding, Part One
Garrett and Megan

Garrett and Megan did something a little different for their wedding ceremony. Instead of facing the officiant during the sermon and proceedings, they turned and faced directly toward the crowd. Holding hands and standing a few feet apart, they looked around at the 200 plus friends and family that had gathered in the open meadow of the small Bommer Canyon surrounded by the scratchy Southern California hills while the pastor read stories that Garrett and Megan’s family had written. It was soooooo them. There is so much that I could say about this wedding because Garrett has been interning and now working…

Julian Engagement, Part One
Garrett and Megan

As we watched the sky turn from pink to purple over the scrubby, rolling hills of Julian and listened to the cows off in the distance, the four of us took a moment to separate ourselves from the demands of life and insert our hearts into the moment at hand. We were at the end of Garrett and Megan’s engagement session which Jeff and I have been scheming ever since Garrett told us about this cute girl he met on his summer trip to Greece at the beginning of his internship with us. We have been privileged to walk with…
