Kelsey and Christa exchanged vows at Martin Griffin Preserve at Audubon Canyon Ranch in Stinson Beach, California! The natural beauty and thriving, wild plants created an incredible backdrop for this romantic outdoor wedding! Neutral florals, natural light, and handmade touches added to the overall bright day. And, to make things even sweeter, the guests roasted marshmallows and took home homemade honey! Gifting themselves, the couple enlisted the help of the incredible Rachelle Derouin Photography to capture the big day!
Natural. We were very minimal with decorations because the ceremony and reception were at the most beautiful venue, the Martin Griffin Preserve—it totally spoke for itself and reflected who we are and what is most important to us. The theme was meant to be approachable, laid back and again, natural looking, using neutral tones and utilizing lots of flowers to add more detail and color. The best decorations were the amazing people in our lives who came together in such a beautiful place and laughed and cried and celebrated with us.
The Moments:
Christa: Walking toward Kelsey as he waited at the end of the aisle. Other great memories were practicing our first dance at our rental house in the days leading up; spending the morning of our wedding on the beach together; cramming into a mini-SUV with all of my bridesmaids to drive ourselves to the venue; receiving amazing toasts from family and friends; watching my grandma get down on the dance floor; and feeling the exhilaration of finally walking down the aisle as husband and wife.
Kelsey: Exchanging our vows. I was really nervous; public speaking isn’t my thing, but I was so excited to make those promises to Christa in front of our closest family and friends. I had waited years to marry her and was so happy it was finally happening. My other favorite memories were our first dance to “That’s How Strong My Love Is” by Otis Redding, a song we’d been planning as our first dance since our first year together. The whole set up process of the wedding felt really special because we were with our favorite people getting the place ready. It made the lead-up to the day really fun and memorable.
The Couple Recommends:
Rachelle Derouin was incredible. She captured our day with such a unique lens and general compassion for us as people. She exuded professionalism, but also love for the day, for Kelsey and me, and for her work. You can tell that when she’s with you, there’s no place she would rather be and that is reflected in her superlative work. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. She’s a gem and someone who is special to us forever because of the memories she captured for us.
For Carlos and Cátia, family was the most important aspect of their bohemian styled wedding in Portugal. The couple chose the bride’s grandmother’s house for the big day because of the sentimental value and the “feeling of belonging there.“ Home-cooked meals, colorful, rustic decor, and live music produced the perfect ambiance for the couple to exchange vows. Instead of carrying a traditional bouquet, the bride wore a floral necklace, which was a beautiful, unique touch to her gorgeous laced gown. The amazing Pedro Vilela Photography captured the sweet, genuine moments spent at this intimate Portuguese wedding.
The Couple:
Carlos and Cátia
The Wedding:
Private Residence, Entroncamento, Portugal
The Inspiration:
We chose to have a wedding at my grandmother’s house because that is where I spent my childhood. I love that place and the feeling of belonging there. The decoration was all about that, all the small details belong to our childhood: photos, music, flowers, etc. It was a mix of what we loved most and some rustic props from my grandmother’s house. For example, Carlos used a traditional cap from our region — Ribatejo. I didn’t want to carry the bouquet, so I used a flower necklace. It was a perfect idea.
The Moments:
It’s impossible to identify just one moment. All day was filled with happiness and joy. Having everybody together and being able to share our love was memorable.
The Couple Recommends:
Most of the things in the wedding were homemade by family and friends. Thanks to them it was a beautiful party!
