From the warmth of Portola to the chill by the bay… Danny and Melanie’s coastal wedding!
Danny and Melanie got married this past Saturday within the vast Redwoods in Portola Valley. It was a hot day, but the scenery was oh so beautiful. During the ceremony Danny got very emotional once he saw his bride walking down the isle. I couldn’t help but shed a tear as well! They are so incredibly sweet together. In fact they’ve been together for 15 years! One of the bridesmaids told me everyone knew they’d get married, right from the get go, even as young teens they knew. From the ceremony we then traveled into Burlingame at the Embassy Suites Hotel for some fesitvities. Danny is not only Mexican, but also Philipino as well. Therefor they had both traditional entertainment; Mariachi, and Philipino dancers!! What a way to end the night! congratulations to you both!
Check out a few of or Red Loft Studios favorites…
