THE RITZ CARLTON LAGUNA NIGUEL

A Jewish wedding on the bluff at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, 240 guests with the Pacific behind everything. The day took on a fashion-editorial feel right from getting ready, Tess leaning in to her bridal session as I guided her from one movement to the next. The ceremony might be our favorite yet, a chuppah draped in fabric that moved with the ocean wind and florals in soft neutrals that looked like they grew straight from the ground. Guests took cocktail hour on the Pacific Promenade while we slipped away with the couple for sunset portraits. Then a grand entrance, the hora and a live set from Downbeat kept the dance floor full until the In-N-Out truck rolled in at the end of the night.
