We hope your three-day weekend was just swell, Cakies. Now we’re ready to launch into another (short) week of fabulous weddings, engagement sessions, and the like. Lisa Lefringhouse Photography sent us this Carmel wedding and we think you’re really gonna like what you see. Let us just start off by saying that we adore Joya + Austin’s relaxed yet elegant aesthetic and California-cool vibe. There are such genuine smiles happening in every photo.

Joya says, When Austin and I walked onto the Holly Farm, we immediately knew the respect for nature, eclectic and dynamic space, communal and intimate vibe was exactly what we wanted for our special day. We fell in love driving up the California coast through Big Sur and wanted to celebrate that love surrounded by our family and friends in an open space that respected the nature of the region where we are choosing to spend our life together.

These two look like they have a lot of fun together, don’t they?

To make their escort cards,  J + A collected rocks at Ocean Beach in San Fran where they live.
