Chris and Joe’s wedding at Sherman Gardens was a delightful fusion of casual charm and botanical elegance. When I stepped into this unique celebration, it was evident that this was not just a wedding, but a one-of-a-kind intimate garden party, a vision that Chris and Joe had brought to life. It was a privilege to capture the essence of their love, laughter, and the myriad of personal touches that made their day truly special.
The couple fully embraced the garden vibe, weaving plant-themed signage and decor throughout the space. There were adorable potted succulents, colorful floral accents, and signs that read cheeky plant puns like “I just wet my plants.” They even snuck in some subtle (and hilarious) Mean Girls Movie references—because what’s a party without a little humor?
From the ceremony to the reception, the air was filled with lightness, joy, and a sense of ease. Chris and Joe’s approach was refreshingly relaxed, focusing more on celebrating their love with their family and friends than on the formalities. It was evident that this day was a true reflection of their personalities, filled with laughter and joy.
One of my favorite moments was the ceremony. Standing beneath a canopy of tropical plants and vibrant flowers, Chris and Joe exchanged heartfelt vows while surrounded by family and friends. You could feel the love radiating throughout the space. After the ceremony, the vibe transitioned into a lively garden party, complete with laughter, dancing, and delicious food.
Sherman Gardens provided the perfect backdrop for Chris and Joe’s vision. Every corner of the venue felt alive—cactus gardens, lush greenery, and even little ponds filled with lotus flowers gave the day a whimsical touch. The setting was nothing short of magical, from golden-hour portraits under towering succulents to romantic nighttime shots beneath twinkling garden lights.
Capturing Chris and Joe’s day was truly an honor. Their fun, laid-back energy made the whole experience unforgettable—not just for me but for everyone who attended. Thank you both for trusting me to document these moments. Your wedding was the perfect reminder that love can be celebrated in any way you choose, as long as it’s done with joy and authenticity.
Congratulations again, Chris and Joe! Here’s to a lifetime of happiness—and plenty more garden parties to come!
