Bri & Luke | A Nostalgic California Botanical Garden Wedding
There’s a certain magic that happens when a couple’s love story unfolds in a setting that perfectly mirrors their spirit. For this beautiful couple, that place was the California Botanic Garden in Claremont, California. Their wedding day was a beautiful blend of classic elegance, warm nostalgia, and youthful joy, a true reflection of who they are.
As a wedding photographer, I’m always looking for those moments that capture the essence of a couple. From the moment I arrived, I could feel the warm and inviting atmosphere. The natural beauty of the garden, with its lush greenery and serene ponds, provided a breathtaking backdrop.
The ceremony took place under a stunning wooden pavilion, a space that felt both grand and intimate. The light filtering through the latticed roof created a soft, ethereal glow, illuminating the couple as they exchanged their vows. The floral arrangements, a beautiful mix of classic white roses, delicate delphiniums, and other lush white blooms, enhanced the elegant and timeless feel. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, from the floral arch to the aisle lined with petals.
This wedding was a beautiful reminder that a truly timeless celebration is one that is built on love, connection, and a deep appreciation for life’s simple, beautiful moments. It was an honor to document this special day at the California Botanic Garden, and I'm so excited for what the future holds for this incredible couple.
