As Yankee fans, sometimes we have to set aside our differences and embrace a couple whose affinity lies with another team.  There is one team that is harder for us to swallow than the rest.  The Boston Red Sox.  With this particular couple, we weren’t the only ones with the challenge.  You see Emily’s family hails from the Chicago area and they love the Cubs.  Daniel is a die hard Red Sox fan.  Somehow these two were able to see past their differences and fall in love.

Emily and Daniel had a beautiful day.  Nestled at the Fess Parker, just steps from the beach, these two were ready for this day.  Their love for one another was ever present throughout the day.  It was obvious that they steadied one another.  Even more evident was the support they received from their families.  It’s always so special to see two families embrace one another and integrate.  Emily’s father, who officiated the ceremony, tasked the guests to support Emily and Daniel in their journey of marriage together, and that type of love and care are clearly what has made Emily and Daniel the people that they are today.

We met Erin & Neil via Skype a while back, a necessity when they live in DC and we live in CA.  We were so excited to work with them as we could tell that their day was going to be impeccable.   Held at the beautiful Four Seasons Biltmore in Santa Barbara, the day could not have been more perfect.  The weather in Santa Barbara was on its best behavior as Erin & Neil celebrated with their friends and family.  They had people travel from all over to share in this moment.  And I really mean all over.  Thanks to a fun poster we learned that 60% of the guests traveled from outside of California.  20% of the guests were Dartmouth alums.  And one guest traveled almost 18,000 miles to be there!  That’s one dedicated friend.  Erin was absolutely stunning and no one could keep their eyes off of her, including Neil.  And I have to say that the design of the reception is one of my favorites that I have ever seen.   A big thanks to Kristin over a Joy de Vivre for all her help.  Congrats Erin & Neil and thanks for letting us be a part of your day!
