An Intimate Vow Renewal at Sunstone Villa

It's not often that I'm at a loss for words when it comes to putting together a feature. But for this vow renewal, it took me twenty minutes to even start typing (in the best kind of way). It's so much more than a vow renewal, it's a work of art. Jen Huang's images are sweeping, soft and graceful. Camellia Floral Design crafted a melody of blooms that sing to late summer. Enjoy cupcakes perfected the subtlest blush frosted cake, while the table was woven with Silk & Willow and Plume Calligraphy supplied the loveliest paper goods. And the Bride? She donned Monique Lhuillier with Chiali Meng to make her glow. Did I mention Sunstone Villa served as the setting? I think I covered all my bases here... so much for being at a loss for words. It's the best kind of way to celebrate love—see it all here.

From Jen Huang... Belle and Ivor wanted a special recreation of their wedding day at their vow renewal, with details that reflected their dream wedding, but simplified for two people. They spent the weekend at Sunstone Villa, wandering the vineyard and snuggling in front of the fireplaces. On the last day of their stay, we photographed them in wedding attire reading their vows, and dining in the informal dining room. The beauty of this shoot was heightened by all the details included by wonderful vendors who came together to create the design.
