What an amazing day with Ariel & Julius at the beautiful L’Auberge Del Mar. We had perfect weather, a sparkling ocean backdrop and smiling faces around every corner. In fact, this wedding was so incredible that it requires two separate blog posts!

       During the first half of the day, some of my favorite moments are when Ariel jumped on the bed in her bridal robe, when the flower girl unexpectedly leaned in to give the bride a kiss, and all the personal details that Ariel & Julius included along the way. The groomsmen looked dapper in their black tuxedos. Julius even had his name and wedding date custom embroidered on the inside of his tuxedo! And of course, some of the most emotional moments were when Ariel saw her parents for the first time and her first look with Julius that followed. Happy tears were falling and the ceremony hadn’t even begun yet! The sign of a great day…

       As guests arrived, the ceremony was stunningly set on the Pacific Terrace with a perfect view of the ocean and floral designs by Haydees Creative Flowers. As always, Dalice Hoffman and the amazing team at L’Auberge Del Mar kept the day’s details seamless and fun!
