Pearl & Kevin's Wedding Day

Pearl & Kevin's Wedding Day


What can I say? As you'll see below, this wedding day was blessed- by the sun, by family, by friendship, by tradition, by music.


I love when a bride gets ready in the house she grew up in. Whenever I see a timeline and realize that my first location of the day is a client's childhood home I am so happy. Home holds most of our core memories, and it's the nest from which we launch.


Pearl found a heart rock when she was a little girl. She saved this rock for her future spouse- a little girl's romantic imagination- and she did indeed present this heart to Kevin!


To see these two surrounded by so much love was incredible. They are truly embody the hope of any parent; that their children find their soulmate- their Bashert.


Pearl and Kevin sealed their love with vows under a very special chuppah that was covered in spring colored blossoms. Showered with rose petals on their way out of the ceremony, they were all smiles the rest of the night... ending with a set by Pearl's oldest brother's Grateful Dead cover band- Railheart. Pearl and her father are both talented artists and co-created the banner for the stage. As the colored lights danced around everyone's faces, I felt just how magical this day was. The music touched me right in the feels.


Wishing you a lifetime of love and sunshine, P & K!
