JC + Ellie {Arroyo Grande}

Elli + JC had the most beautiful wedding at the Varian Ranch in the back hills of Arroyo Grande, where JC grew up. We were just in love with the natural elements and the creative graces.

What really stood out to me were the vows during the ceremony. Ellie and JC wrote personal vows in a unique and fun exchange. I asked Ellie if I could share their intimate words with the world.

JC: We know that great relationships thrive because of the countless small things each person does for the other, the way they interact day to day, and we wanted our vows to reflect that.

ELLIE: These vows are the most important commitments we have ever made.
