An elegant
black tie wedding in Carmel, CA

Mary and Dylan's black tie wedding in Carmel, California was a stunning and elegant wedding day. They were surrounded by all of their closest friends and family on their rainy wedding day that ended with a gorgeous sunset just in time for their "just married" portraits before they enjoyed cocktail hour! Their wedding was a great representation of  documentary & timeless imagery.
