Every wedding I have the complete pleasure of planning is special to me.  There is always something that makes the celebration stand out - the couples story, a unique vision, or even an emotional story that pulls at your heart strings.  
THIS wedding, had it all.  I adored every moment of planning with the bride from her California home.  She was a complete joy, and the love that her and her now husband have for their little boy was undeniable.  Kaleb - their son, was diagnosed with Autism a little while back, and since then Jen (bride) has dedicated her whole life to making his easier.  
Not only did Adrien and Jen want an enchanted garden feel to their wedding with modern touches of teal geodes, peacock and family heirlooms - they wanted to share their commitment to their son, and to Autism Awareness.
Small touches throughout the day showed the Autism symbol - a puzzle piece.  From their "guestbook" to the wedding favors - all was thought out in a way that was so special!
I hope that you enjoy their touching wedding video as much as I enjoyed being a part of their day!

Thank you to the amazing team of vendors!

Of course with any wedding, the bride is the main focus - her beauty is jaw dropping and stops the groom right in his tracks!  Anne DEFINATELY did this for her groom, but their little boy was the star!
It was so wonderful to see the love that the entire family had for one another at this destination wedding at The Ringling.
Everyone in attendance was all smiles, and so happy to celebrate two families becoming one.
Her color palette of lavendar, ivory and green was a perfect compliment to the colors of the stained glass that the Ca D'Zan Mansion is so famous for - and when the sunset danced off the water it was sheer perfection!
Congratulations Dan and Anne - I loved every minute I got to know you and your amazing family!
