Rachel's Wedding in San Clemente

Rachel and Chris got married at a beautiful venue in San Clemente. They had such an amazing boho vibe that our team absolutely LOVED! We got to spend the morning with her incredibly sweet loved ones and were later joined by our talented friends and duo photo/video team extraordinaire, Pretty Branch Photo + Video.

When we asked Rachel what her favorite moment of the day was, she had a difficult time just choosing one! “Waking up to a blue sky day (honestly a miracle!!), getting ready with my gals, walking down the aisle, and being announced as husband and wife!! It was all so much fun!!” Southern California was experiencing some uncharacteristically cloudy/rainy days, so when the skies cleared, it was a moment. Everyone went “ahhhh” as the golden sunshine poured into the room and lit the way for the couple’s new journey.

One of our favorite moments was when Rachel and Chris unknowingly gifted each other the same Amy Winehouse record which has their first dance on it. The laughs and love that enveloped the room were contagious. Plus, we love us some Amy!

Rachel and Chris spent the night dancing with their friends and family and watching the beautiful sunset as husband and wife!

To embrace her inner chillzilla, Rachel integrated a sage ceremony before her wedding, which kept them calm. “And,” Rachel said, “we practiced our dance moves before walking down the aisle, which is the quickest way to de-stress and a good reminder to always have fun”.

We couldn’t agree more!

 

LOVE NOTES FROM RACHEL

“I loved getting the day started with Dana and her team!! Everyone was chill and pro, and sooooo good at hair and makeup!!! The looks were stunning (shout out to all the braids), and I was so happy with the fun experience. It set the tone for the whole day, and everything went perfectly.”
