Taylor + Andrew | Romantic Twin Oaks Garden Wedding
This romantic Twin Oaks garden wedding was not my first time meeting Taylor and Andrew, but dare I say, it was one of the most memorable days I spent with them! Keep scrolling to learn more about this beautiful couple and see the gorgeous California wedding venue they chose for their special day!
Taylor + Andrew’s Love Story
The story of how Taylor and Andrew met is one of the sweetest love stories I’ve ever heard! The couple met in Kindergarten 🥹 and remained close friends throughout grade school and into college. Andrew claims that he asked Taylor out in 5th grade, but she curved him and said no (to which she responds she does not remember that). After many years of friendship (and 2 more attempts to win her love), Taylor finally expressed her feelings for Andrew.
After two years of officially dating, Andrew popped the BIG question. The couple was attending a wedding and spontaneously booked a trip to Europe despite neither having a passport. Andrew knew he wanted to propose on this trip, and thought Paris would be the most romantic place to do so (he was right, of course!). He had everything planned out, but on their way to the Eiffel Tower, the couple got lost on the Metro. To top it all off, it started pouring rain and Andrew stepped in a puddle in his brand-new white sneakers! None of these things were ideal, however, all was forgotten once they were under the Eiffel Tower surrounded by the twinkling lights!
A Whimsical Twin Oaks Wedding in San Marcos, CA
Getting to photograph a California wedding is always a special treat, but getting to photograph a garden wedding in California…now that is pretty hard to beat! Taylor and Andrew’s wedding at Twin Oaks House & Gardens took place on a classic sunny, California day!
After getting ready with their wedding parties, the couple met in the garden for their first look and private vows. Then, everyone gathered for their outdoor wedding ceremony. One of my favorite ceremony moments was when the couple gave flowers to their family members as part of the unity ceremony.
The rest of the day was filled with more couple and wedding party photos in the garden followed by dinner and dancing under twinkle lights in the tent. To cap off the wedding, their guests sent them off with a gorgeous grand exit filled with ribbons which was seriously dreamy!
I absolutely loved everything about Taylor and Andrew’s Twin Oaks garden wedding! From photographing their engagement session on the beach to learning about how the two met and watching them start this next chapter of their lives, every moment with these two was seriously so special!
Congratulations, Taylor and Andrew!
