The Ceremony: A Sacred Start at Carmel Mission Basilica

Steeped in history and architectural magnificence, the Carmel Mission Basilica stands as a testament to California’s rich historical tapestry. Chase and Raleigh chose this landmark as the stage for the start of their life together. Under its venerable tiled roof and between its aged adobe walls, they exchanged their vows in a serene and solemn atmosphere that captivated every guest. The mission’s lush gardens and its rustic charm provided a divine backdrop for Catherine Leanne Photography to capture the start of the couple’s journey in matrimony.

The Reception at Pebble Beach’s Inn at Spanish Bay

As the golden California sun began to settle into the horizon, guests were ushered to the Inn at Spanish Bay, renowned for its breathtaking views of the Pacific coastline and its world-class services. As they entered the reception area, they were welcomed by the sumptuous floral arrangements by Fleurish Florals that adorned every corner, echoing the grandeur of the setting sun on the ocean’s surface.

The reception was the quintessential Pebble Beach experience with sophistication and a dash of coastal charm. DNA Entertainment provided the soundtrack for the evening, creating an ambiance that was both energetic and refined.
