Midsummer Reverie: Romance in Bloom at Villa Montalvo

Theresa and Tomas’s wedding was a romantic and deeply personal celebration of love, family, and heritage. The day began at the bride’s childhood home, where a traditional Chinese tea ceremony surrounded by family and friends honored her roots and added meaningful layers to the story of the day. Later, at Villa Montalvo, set against the rolling Santa Cruz Mountains, lavender, lilac, and muted taupe tones created an ethereal, fairytale-like atmosphere. From intimate moments to editorial portraits, every detail captured the couple’s love, cultural traditions, and the soft, whimsical elegance of a Northern California summer.
