Makena + Brandon | Atherton, california

Atherton, CA is one of the most beautiful cities in Northern California. This couple was fortunate to throw their wedding in the bride's sunny backyard. Surrounded by beautiful trees, lush grass, insane gardens, and a gorgeous pool. On arrival, guests were greeted with a spiked iced tea and a refreshing hors d'oeuvre of compressed watermelon. They then took a seat for the couple's intimate ceremony, which included an abundance of hand-placed white cosmos added to the already abundant lavender garden. Guests dined under a custom built matte black-clad structure. Giant floral chandeliers hung above the dining tables created a sultry vibe. The night was filled with heartfelt speeches, lots of champagne, and a four-course meal – closing with dancing under the stars to one of their favorite DJs.
