Not Fade Away

Not Fade Away

August, 2023 | Carpinteria, CA

 
 

A quintessential coastal California summer wedding, Erin and Blake exchanged vows high above Rincon Point on a family-operated avocado ranch in Carpinteria.  With the glistening sea outstretched before them, at their feet we laid native grasses, wild California buckwheat, lace cap hydrangea, local cosmos and clay colored lisianthus amongst earthy pots from Found.  

 

As part of a traditional ceremony layered in ritual, Erin wore a cathedral length veil with the words ‘Not Fade Away’ finely embroidered above the hemline as an ode to ‘their’ favorite Dead song.  Guests sipped on mezcal cocktails and feasted on tacos well past the summer sun had faded into the islands.
