Melanee and Tara eloped privately at a Napa Valley vineyard, then had a lovely, intimate wedding reception at a friend’s home in Pasadena. The backyard was beautifully decorated with lavender, wine crates, rustic benches, and an amazing custom marquee sign with their initials. The music was festive, the food was delicious, and all of the guests were incredibly sweet and having the best time. I couldnt’t happier for these two gorgeous ladies and I’m so honored I got to share in their celebration!
