unshakable love…maria + michael- san juan capistrano
One of the many things I love about Maria and Michael is that they are the type of people who know what they like and they don’t sweat the small stuff. So, when they approached me about planning this beautiful celebration for their family and friends, the fact that we had a mere 8 weeks to pull this off did not phase them. They were unshakable in their decisions and this became priceless as we went to work assembling a wonderful team of vendors to complete the day. What we didn’t know was that our beautiful May weather was about to take a turn! Our plans for this amazing outdoor fete quickly became challenged by the torrential rain and hurricane force winds that faced us just days before the wedding and with no end in sight! (okay,maybe the weather just seemed that bad from my native California perspective!
Once again, Maria and Michael were unshakable in their faith and optimism that their wedding day would be a perfect celebration, rain and all! With much gratitude to Lewis Barker and his amazing team at Barker Decor Services who risked life and limb ( again, a minor exaggeration
to construct this amazing open-air structure, we pulled it off! And with no exaggeration and literally 20 minutes before guests began arriving, the wind stopped and the sun came out..a true testament to Maria and Michael’s unshakable love. Congratulations you two! It was an honor to be a part of your day! Here is a complete list of the wonderful people that made the day possible! 24 Carrots Catering, Sonny Alexander Flowers did a wonderful job in interpreting our wishes for an organic design with a modern twist! Icons Band provided the fun and funky 80’s tunes, Classic Party Rentals, Fusion Linens, Its All About the Cake, the incredible team at Barker Decor Service, And I cannot say enough about the wonderful Chenin Boutwell of Boutwell Studio. She is pure delight from head to toe and has provided these stunning images.thank you, Chenin!
