REAL WEDDING SHENANIGANS: COLLEEN & ADAM

Marni Farmer August 21, 2022

Colleen and Adam held their wedding at the lovely Padua Hills Theatre in Claremont, CA. Their ceremony was held in the center of an olive tree grove, with majestic trees flanking the aisle. They were leaning into an Alice in Wonderland summer vibe which was accomplished with a lot of pinks, peaches and purples in the color palette. They added personal touches like custom cookies that looked like their puppy, who was also part of their ceremony. We had such a great time on this one, and are so happy for the couple!
