Lauren + Tim

As a tip of the hat to their time together in Yosemite, Lauren & Tim strategically chose their date for the full moon. Felton Guild Weddings' redwood grove made for the perfect backdrop the ceremony, which got off to a slow start. The officiant got caught up in some serious Santa Cruz beach traffic driving over Highway 17. However, he was totally worth the wait—he had me and everyone else laughing out loud more than once. Sarah of Pink Pedals crafted a gorgeous bouquet for Lauren to tote around for the day. I have to give Lauren & Tim the coolest "guest book" award for their creative alternative. They had a vintage typewriter and rubber stamps for guests to personalize a note card. Oak Tree Ristorante prepared an amazing meal. The salmon dish especially made me want to go back for dinner soon. It was a beautiful day in the forest celebrating Lauren & Tim. Everyone enjoyed great food & drink and dancing late into the night under the full moon. Congratulations you two. I hope we end up neighbors in Santa Cruz someday.
