Today’s wedding is really unique. It’s the rustic chic style that we love and yet it’s been infused with Eastern elements that celebrate the bride’s Buddhist upbringing. It’s a combination that I haven’t ever seen and I have to say…it’s completely lovely, completely elegant.
The wedding was designed by the amazingly talented bride, with the help of Amber Gustafson of Amber Events (fabulous by the way). It was photographed by Suthi Picotte.

We’ve actually seen this venue before in a wedding that Rebecca of {duet} planned and Leigh Miller Photographed. It’s a GORGEOUS space that has unfortunately closed it’s doors. I hate when I hear things like that. But, lucky for this bride and groom, they were able to move their wedding up before the doors shut, making them the last wedding that took place at Eucalyptis Lane in Ventura.

We have TONS of good stuff coming from this gorgeous wedding…a blend of all things rustic, all things undeniably chic. Can’t wait to share!
This wedding belongs to a textbook! It's 9:30 a.m. My day is off to a good start!
I love that piano! It's always neat to see definite indoor things outdoors-- kind of like the chandeliers hanging in trees.

Soooo great! I love the shot of the bride in the mirror. Such an intimate moment to capture.
Lovely photos! I love her dress!
The old piano is unbelievable!!!!! I'm definitely spreading this photo around, it's such a unique detail. Although, I don't know who has an old piano lying around their yard. Probably more people than one would imagine...
