Ariadne + Nicholas in Pasadena, CA

Ariadne and Nicholas were married in Pasadena, CA, where I pretty much grew up.  Actually, Ariadne and I went to high school together so it was really fun to photograph her wedding in my old stomping grounds.  We hit a number of different spots throughout Pasadena including City Hall for some portraits, before ending up at her parents' house for one of the most beautiful summer backyard weddings that Adm and I have been to.  She and Nicholas live in New Jersey, and so Ariadne's mom did almost all of the planning and coordinating, and she just did a fabulous job.  There were so many sweet details, like the colorful shawls hanging over the backs of the chairs that not only added to the decor, but also served as favors for guests to take home and use as the night went on, or the signs that instructed guests how to play games which were set up in the front yard.  Everything about the wedding felt very natural and comfortable, and we could tell that a lot of thought and care had gone into trying to make guests feel welcome and at home, which is exactly how I remember Ariadne from high school.  She was always calm and collected, and genuinely expressed her care for other people and what was going on with them.

Although Ariadne and Nicholas had a short engagement, from the way they were with each other on their wedding day, we think they'll have an infinitely long marriage.  I guess it goes back to that old saying, "When you know, you know."  Thank you, Ariadne and Nicholas for having us along for your wedding.  We loved documenting you two and your families and friends, and we wish you years of joy.
