Ragged Point Inn 2019

---

I absolutely loved working with Hayley and Sam for their elegant, woodsy, sparkly wedding with beautiful views of Big Sur, and I’m so honored that they trusted their special day with me and my team! There were so many amazing details at this wedding: painted pinecones, greenery with gold and rose gold metallics, adorable ring security, signing the groom's guitar as the guest book, the large floral chandelier as a main focal point in the solarium, the custom drum set with a drawing of the bride and groom, the list goes on... In addition to the wonderful details, there were also so many special moments. When Hayley pulled up to her ceremony in The Beach Bus Photo Booth and was escorted by her father down the aisle to “I Choose You” by Willie Hutch, through a sea of applauding guests, it had EVERYONE in tears (including myself). Talk about making an entrance! The look on Sam’s face when he saw his stunning bride for the first time is what sent me over the edge. And if that wasn't enough to make me completely bawl my eyes out, Sam serenaded Hayley during their ceremony with a song he wrote for her just DAYS after meeting her, expressing how he would marry her someday. Yeah... I KNOW. It doesn't get much more romantic than that. But Hayley had a surprise for Sam as well... During their reception, she and her bridesmaids performed a choreographed dance routine for him. It was SO FUN! One of the fabulous parts of my job, in addition to seeing my couples’ visions come to life, is getting to know who they are and becoming friends with them along the way. When I first met Hayley, the only real info I had was that she was the cheerleader from Fired Up (one of my favorite movies) and she had randomly met my parents on a camping trip. What I knew about Sam was that he was in the Ohtis band and was friends with a neighbor. Through this journey, I got to really know Hayley and Sam, both individually and as a couple. They are some of the sweetest, most hilarious, gracious, genuine people I’ve ever met. Watching their dream come to life and witnessing the intense love they have for each other was such an honor. I’m so grateful to have been involved in this experience, and I got two new friends out of it as well! I wish Hayley and Sam all the love and happiness in the world as they embark on their future together as a married couple!
