Grand Del Mar Wedding, Part One
Patrick and Miranda
Patrick and Miranda have known each other since they were just ten years old, but it wasn’t until years later that they reconnected and fell madly in love.
He saw how she had grown into someone incredibly gracious and passionate, and she couldn’t get enough of his positive energy and inclusive and kind heart.
With a true, deep friendship as their solid foundation, the sky has been the limit!
It was so clear that Patrick and Miranda’s crew loves them deeply - their wedding at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar was overflowing with emotion and excitement from everyone to see this sweet couple tie the knot!
And the details! Oh, the most amazing, sentimental details!
Miranda happened to design her own wedding gown in her days working for Oscar de la Renta (ummm... YEAH), and every other detail from her bridal look held so much meaning! Her mother gifted her with a beautiful embroidered handkerchief, and Miranda used her grandmother’s antique mirror in the final moments of getting ready to see Patrick. Love love love!!
And when they did see each other, the emotion and gratitude was brimming to the top! These two savored every second of their day, in a way that had Jeff and me emotional, too!
Oh my goodness I LOVE THIS WEDDING. Our hearts are exploding for this couple! Enjoy the first moments from this most beautiful day, my friends!
I can BARELY wait to share Part Two of Patrick and Miranda’s wedding with you!! Everything at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar is positively perfect, but it’s really this couple we’re giddy over!
Hugs,
Erin
