A Wish is Made

Posted in Real Weddings, Recent, US Tags: Meg Perotti

When lucky coins are tossed into a rushing water fountain.

When candles are blown out, eyes squeezed shut and fingers crossed.

When a glance to the bedside table reveals a clock set on 11:11.

A wish is made…

And for Jen + Matt, that wish came true when – amongst the glittering, dangling lights and rustic Holly Farm setting – they promised to love and cherish one another, all the days of their lives.

These images, captured by the exceptionally talented Meg Perotti, reveal a magical – almost whimsical – sort of fairy tale land. The venue for this wonderful celebration is the stunning Holly Farm hideaway, tucked away against the Santa Lucia Mountains in Carmel, California. I’m blown away by this venue, with all of its glorious little nooks and crannies and all the special little details that make this place so distinctive.

Meg did a wonderful job capturing the uniqueness of the setting and all the precious moments Jen + Matt created together on this beautiful occasion. There is so much life contained in these images, from the laughing, happy smiles of the couple’s friends and family to the dancing, the dart throwing and the cigar-smoking shots. I just wish I had a time machine so I could beam myself over to Holly Farm and be a part of this beautiful day.

It’s almost 11:11. I’m closing my eyes now… I’m making a wish…

Simply breathtaking! The detail captured in these photos, from the tendrils of smoking raising from the cigars, to the glimpse of forever caught in the couple’s eyes, is exquisite. It is amazing how simple candid moments such as putting on the bride’s lipstick or raising a glass can be transformed into treasured works of art. Beautiful work!
