When I met with Shawnee, she told me the plan for the day. Evan, her groom, has family that owns three different houses on one block. Not just ANY block, mind you. A historical, beautiful, landmark street in Santa Ana, where every house is different, every house is stunning, and every house is a small piece of history. (not to mention massive, by Orange County terms). Their plan was for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready at one house, have the ceremony at another house, then have the reception at the last house. A progressive wedding day. It sounded epic.
I couldn't have even anticipated the gorgeousness that is these homes. I couldn't have guessed the generosity that it takes for not one, but THREE families to open their homes completely. I couldn't have even imagined how loving, supportive, and surrounded by joy this day was to be. But it was all this, and more.
Here's the first look at some of the wonderful details that helped make this day so special for Shawnee and Evan.
