This day was the perfect mixture of laid-back and fun. Meeting Taylor and Arjun on the morning of their wedding was like running into old friends who were excited to catch up on life and just happened to be getting married. That’s how super chill and sweet they were. From hanging out while they got ready to the end of the night, it was pure joy to be in the company of these two and their entire community.

Spring Ranch is an amazing all-in-one venue and retreat. It’s a 10-minute walk to the ocean, a 5-minute drive to the quaint town of Mendocino, and surrounded by nature preserve. There are several options for lodging that are so charming and cozy, within sight of the event areas but still private and tucked away. I love these kinds of venues that let you really sink into the space for a weekend.

Taylor and Arjun’s eucalyptus grove ceremony was true to their values and love for the outdoors, while also including several elements from their Jewish and Indian heritages. The celebration was joyful and stress-free, ending with everyone on the dance floor, including me!
