Joe and Angie are Married on the Beach in California
Joe proposed to Angie (whose full name is Cresangeli–which I think is the prettiest name ever!) after six years of them being together (and with some subtle nudging form their kids!). Angie knew right away that she wanted to be married in an intimate ceremony on the beach in Carmel.
When she contacted me, Angie made it clear that the ceremony, photos, flowers and her hair and makeup were very important and she didn’t want to stress about any of it. She was the perfect bride for what we offer. I got right to work lining up her vendors and getting her flowers ordered.
Angie had seen one of the eco-friendly bouquets made of wood in a variety of tans and chocolate roses and topped with delicate pearls. Could I order something like that in a “real” flower bouquet? I doubted it, but talked to the florist and we came up with something reasonably close that would delight our bride.
Unfortunately, on the day of the wedding when Angie, Joe and the kids wisked off from their hotel to get to the ceremony, they left the gorgeous bouquet and boutonniere behind. So I don’t have any photos to show. True to Angie’s nature, she shrugged it off and the rest of the ceremony–although windy–went off without a hitch.
Although the bouquet was forgotten, Angie nonetheless sported her tan and beige roses on her fabulous head-wreathe and a bracelet that encircled her left wrist.
Angie is a natural in front of the camera and we took advantage to get some fabulous shots showing her playful, yet sexy nature.
