Malibu Solstice Vineyard Wedding | Christabelle and Patrick
“We truly are thankful for our family and our vendors! We had the best time celebrating with our family and our incredible vendors made it ten times better. They felt like they were a part of our family. Our day ended up being better than what we have originally planned. We couldn’t have asked for a better day!” -Christabelle and Patrick
Favorite Moments
1) We started our wedding day watching the sunrise together and ended our day with a beautiful sunset.
2) We got married in the clouds that made us feel like we were on top of the world.
3) Having a dinner catered with some of our personal favorites: Korean fried chicken, sushi, al pastor tacos, and lumpia.
4) Having our first dance under the stars.
5) Our family surprised us with a Filipino tradition: the money dance!
Advice to couples planning a wedding:
“Do whatever makes both of you happy, even if that is a non-traditional wedding. Who cares what other people think! You get to spend the rest of your life with your best friend and that is all that matters.”
C&P read their vows privately before the ceremony, and it was one of their favorite moments of the day.
A few fun facts:
We got engaged in the mountains at Banff National Park.
We snuck into Times Square 10 minutes before the ball dropped on New Years Eve.
We started dating at 18 years old. We have been together for almost 12 years!
So what does the future hold for Christabelle and Patrick? They want to move to the west coast and adopt all the senior dogs! They also want to check off every national park.
“Christabelle and Patrick, thank you so much for sharing your day with me. It was an absolute dream, with a once-in-a-lifetime background. It's not every day you get married in the clouds ;) I felt so welcomed and comfortable, and it all made for an effortless documentation experience. I hope our paths cross again!” -Your Photographer
