I received a call from Chantel 2 weeks prior to the wedding to coordinate their wedding. Usually, I wouldn’t take a wedding on such a short notice because I feel like it will set me up to fail as it doesn’t give me much time to prepare. However, after talking to Chantel, I was convinced I could pull her wedding off. Chantel and Ryan’s wedding was only for about 40 close friends and family so it was definitely doable.
I lived in Lake Forest for a year and I never knew of this little park tucked in the shopping center. Chantel and Ryan did great at finding this little hidden gem.

I am so lucky to have the most beautiful bride and groom ever!

Chantel doesn’t look like she just had a baby 4 months ago.













The bohemian chic/coachella feel was perfect for a quaint small wedding. Absolutely love all of the decoration!

































The perfect ending to the beautiful wedding.


Chantel and Ryan, thank you for allowing me to be part of such an intimate beautiful wedding. Wishing all the best to the both of you!
