Wow, where to start with Aubra and Justin's wedding? Adm and I had had such a great time with these two during their engagement session, we knew their wedding was going to be really fun, but it completely exceeded our expectations. Let's start with Aubra. She was absolutely breathtaking! And her dress, well, let's just say I fell in love with her dress, which perfectly went with the feel of their wedding. And Justin looked very handsome as well and was, hands down, the star of the dance floor. Next time we have a party, we're totally inviting him to get people groovin'!

Now, moving onto the ceremony. Aubra and Justin were married in the Redwood Amphitheater at the UC Berkeley Botanical Gardens, and their ceremony was completely magical. For starters, Aubra seemed to appear as a fairy nymph coming out of the redwoods as she approached the stage to meet her groom. The image of her walking through the beautiful trees by herself might be my favorite from the whole day. They had a traditional Jewish ceremony and added in a lot of themselves and their friends to completely personalize it and include the people closest to them. As I looked around at all of the guests during the ceremony, every single person there seemed to be completely engaged in what was happening and full of genuine happiness and love for these two. What a privilege for us to be able to witness that!

The ceremony really set the tone for the rest of the day which continued with just as much love and beauty. In addition to being surrounded by so many people who loved them, part of what made Aubra and Justin's wedding so special was that it was a complete reflection of them as a couple. They were both equally involved in the planning process and because of that, they really made this their event. This seems so basic, but with lives being so busy today, often the wedding planning falls primarily on one person (the bride) who relies on help from her mom or close friends. I just loved that these two worked together to make this day truly theirs.
