These two.  So in love.  So sweet to one another.  True respect and admiration.  It was a joy to witness their interactions and love for each other.  It was beautiful and genuine and seriously brought me to tears a couple times.

Veila and Patrick chose to celebrate their special day at the Highland Springs Resort in Cherry Valley.  Veila knew she wanted a natural, rustic setting, and when Patrick found the place and they visited, she knew it was the one and she didn’t look anywhere else.  It truly was gorgeous!  The rooms were upscale and gorgeous.  They had lavender fields and olive tree orchards.  We got to use the entire area for photos and it was absolutely breathtaking!

Something amazing about their reception were the details.  I couldn’t believe it when Veila told me they hand-made EVERYTHING!  I kid you not. Look at the crates that held the flowers.  They built them!   They used a wood burner to number the tags for the tables.  The tops of the dessert bags were cut to look like a lace.  The night before the wedding Veila arranged all the flowers for the tables and they looked incredible!  I just loved that they paid so much attention to every little detail.

When you meet the couple you feel an instant liking for them.   They are both very relaxed and kind. They make you feel at home in their presence and it draws you to want to get to know them better.  I really enjoyed sharing the day with them!
