From the rolling hills of Scotland to the lush gardens of Moorpark, California, Michelle and Mark’s wedding was a beautiful blend of tradition and vibrant celebration. Held at the stunning Eden Gardens, their special day was filled with unique cultural elements that reflected Mark’s Scottish heritage, including traditional Scottish attire for the groom and his groomsmen, complete with kilts, tartan socks, and the distinctive sgian-dubh tucked into their socks.
As avid travelers who seem to explore a new country every month, Michelle and Mark brought a spirit of adventure and a global perspective to their wedding day. The ceremony featured the moving tradition of handfasting, where their hands were bound together as a symbol of their union, a moment made even more memorable with the soulful sound of a traditional bagpipe player in the background.
One of the highlights for Michelle was her elegant wedding dress, not just for its beautiful lace and design but for the practical addition of pockets, blending style with convenience. Despite a scheduling hiccup that prevented a full romantic session at the venue, the couple’s love and happiness were captured during an additional photo session at Las Virgenes Canyon Preserve. This session took place during the magical golden hour, adding a soft, romantic glow to their stunning photographs.
Michelle and Mark’s wedding was not only a celebration of their love but also an expression of their life’s journey together, surrounded by a strong support system of friends and family who clearly adore them. It was a day filled with laughter, love, and the rich traditions that continue to tie them to their roots.
