Private Vows Under the Crepe Myrtles — Alli & Adam
Alli and Adam were married in May 2026 at The Stone Barn — a summer evening, the white chapel full of people who love them, and a long golden hour afterward that nobody rushed.
Their palette read like a garden party that had spent a summer on the coast: off-white and rose, sunset orange and coral, dusty blue running quietly through the bridesmaids and the bar menu, olive and pistachio greenery in glass and wood. Pink pajamas in the morning, champagne before noon, and a first look under the crepe myrtles where they read private vows to each other before anybody else heard a word.
The chapel dip on the way back up the aisle is the photograph her family will be passing around for years.
