Days after their fairytale California wedding, tragedy struck and Kelly and Trey lost their home to the Tubbs fire. This couple fully involved their families throughout their big day and these wedding photos hold precious, joyful memories of a happier time. The two exchanged vows at The Grove in a magical redwood forest ceremony, surrounded by the natural beauty and love of their guests followed by a fun-filled reception at The Union Hotel. St. Helena Florist designed the stunning succulent-filled bridal bouquet and flower crowns. Photographer Jana Contreras Photography, sister of the bride and maid of honor, captured the emotional day, from a sweet father-daughter first look to couple portraits dwarfed by the giant trees, with Alyssa Luzaich Photography filling in as second shooter so Jana could stand beside her sister during the ceremony. Tragedy makes you hold your loved ones a little tighter and Junebug wishes these newlyweds hope and strength.
