I love when two people are so in love it’s all you can see when you look at them. It’s an amazing, beautiful light that surrounds them and makes you feel so happy inside. This feeling stayed with me all day while I assisted with Aimee & Telly’s Olema House wedding, set in beautiful Point Reyes.
“Olema House seamlessly blends rustic wilderness with a modern-eclectic style. Imagine tranquil, verdant surroundings that bring the magic and natural wonder of Northern California to life.” – Olema House
The Wedding Ceremony
I am all for simple but beautiful design elements. The wedding drape that hung from the olive trees was such a lovely touch. It added just a little bit more ethereal romance to an already gorgeous location. The aisle was adorned with lavender. Guests were asked to be fully present and unplug for the ceremony.
Pro tip: I always encourage my couples to opt for an unplugged ceremony. This allows for guests to be fully present with you. It also helps keep guests out of the aisle and in the way of your photographer. It also means that photos from your ceremony will highlight people’s faces, and not phones and iPads.
Wedding Reception
The hanging flowerpots hung from ribbon and used to clip the seating chart were also one of my favorite design elements. It put a creative spin on the standard seating chart and was a great way to incorporate more floral elements into their design.
Couple Portraits
A close friend knit the shawl Aimee wore during her reception and I loved how it created a whole new look but complimented her gown perfectly. The color looked so beautiful set against the wild grass. I think it’s always fun to change up the bride’s look just ever so slightly during the reception and Aimee nailed it!
Ultimately, I didn’t want this Olema House wedding to come to an end. These are my favorite types of days, the ones where I feel like I’m standing with friends. There is an easy and relaxed way of just being with each other and from start to finish everything feels perfect. I hope you enjoy it!
