The Ramsey

About a week ago, these two Monterey locals exchanged their vows in front of their family at the exquisite Highlands Inn overlooking the grand Pacific Ocean. They had bigger plans before the pandemic to have a larger wedding – but decided to make alternate plans that ‘fit’ during this time for them. They had just a few family members attend their wedding and help them celebrate. It will be a surprise to some folks that they did indeed get married after all – they wished you could all be there, but they hope to celebrate with you all after the pandemic is gone and everyone can connect safely.

I loved being a part of their little day and it was even more fun as Stela is also in the hospitality industry locally and we know a lot of the same people! Being an event planner, she knew exactly what she wanted for her big day. With that said, they were so kind and laid back on their wedding day – it was like hanging out with friends and I just happened to bring my camera with me 🙂

Wishing these two fabulous friends a lifetime of happiness.

This local couple wanted to exchange their vows in front of their parents and a couple of friends in a wooded area and we found the perfect spot for them! It was a sweet, intimate mini wedding.

Wishing them both the best future together!

Weddings in Monterey (Brian and I) met up with James and Jenna in July along the shores of Carmel River State Beach. There are a couple of different locations to choose at this beach to get married (with our permit) and they chose the Cove area – honestly, my favorite!

With them to help celebrate their wedding day came two of their best friends – James’ sister and her husband.

J and J live in a small community in Northern California and on a ranch! They come to visit the Carmel area frequently as James’ dad is a retired real estate specialists in Carmel and lives locally as well.

There was so much joy that radiated from the two of them and they were so excited to exchange their vows.

After dinner the four went to the new restaurant in Carmel, called The Pocket (we have yet to check it out).

Wishing them both a lifetime of love and happiness and look forward to connecting again with them the next time they are in town for a drink or two!
