An Enchanting New Year


When Wayne first met with the bride and groom, they told him the romantic story of carving their initials into a tree with the number of days from when they first met to their wedding. They wanted to carry this theme throughout their wedding. Trees and nature were very important to them. Melody sketched a tree which was used in the invitation design and trees and leaves became a thematic element throughout the wedding. The couple was married under a Chuppah, a Jewish Wedding canopy, made from tree branches and the ceremony site was framed by graceful redwoods. Wayne turned the Ballroom into their very own enchanted forest.
