    Woodside, CA Wedding: Chantal and Fred

    With curlers peaking through her long black hair Chantal walked around the gorgeous private estate among the tall Redwoods coordinating last minute details. Her wedding was no different than all the other things she undertakes in life, with everything to the last detail with her heart poured into it, in this case to the last bow! After months of storing things in her living room, collecting details in antique stores, her vintage and rustic fairy tale wedding came beautifully together. And what more can you ask for but for a gorgeous sunny day and friends and family to celebrate with you? During the ceremony the officiant asked the couple to face their guests and to take in the beauty of their day. Brought about together after many hours, the day came together seamlessly with every guest left in wonder and admiration of the beauty surrounding them. Showered with rose petals as they walked down the aisle, Fred and Chantal were finally married and started their new journey as Mr and Mrs.

    Chantal and Fred, you two are so giving and loving and I’m beyond thrilled to have watched you get married on such a gorgeous September afternoon! Thank you for having me as part of your beautiful love journey. I couldn’t ask for a sweeter couple to spend the day with. You were beyond amazing to work with and the attention you put into every detail was priceless! Congratulations on your marriage and I can’t wait to see what the next years will have in store for you two! Much love and appreciation, Yuliya.

    The day started at a cabin brought from Yosemite, that’s right, on a wagon! Besides from the history it holds within its walls, it made for some beautiful photos, especially with Jenny Packham wedding gown!
