A Woodsy Dream Wedding

Taylor and Ian got ready at their venue, in the woods. Their day was honestly perfect! They hired some of my absolute favorite vendors. First off, the Waterfall Lodge is such a stunning venue. I recommend every one of these vendors listed below. The florals were incredible. Dawn always does a great job putting everything together. The food was some of the best wedding food I’ve had. The desserts not only look amazing, but taste amazing as well. The photobooth and bar were a hit. And the Santa Cruz DJ Company never disappoints. I loved how Taylor and Ian added aspects to their day that were unique to them. Ian made their arch and signs for the wedding. Taylor had all her bridesmaids wear different colors and dresses with a cohesive color palette. And since Ian is from Kenya, they were introduced to their reception in a traditional Kenyan way. The women in his family sang and chanted as they were introduced at their reception. They danced alongside them and it was so fun for me to see that tradition for the first time. The night ended with dancing, fire pits, churros, ice cream, and coffee!
