When Lara and John decided to get married, they knew the ceremony had to be somewhere under the Redwoods.

John is a musician and a teacher, so it was important to him to incorporate live music throughout the day.

The bocce ball court for adults provided a great way to transition into evening.

The reception at Costanoa in Pescadero was just as much a celebration of nature and play as the the ceremony in the Redwoods.

The Bosch Baha'i School in Santa Cruz was the perfect location as it provided the environment the couple was looking for.

Lara's choice of having yellow flowers provided a wonderful compliment to the bridesmaids various dark blue dresses.
