I was so excited for the Kesley & Josh’s Bodega wedding as the planning was taking place, and it definitely did not disappoint! In fact, their wedding totally blew my expectations out of the water. From ocean-front getting ready spots in the coastal town of Bodega Bay, to a standing-room-only ceremony in the darling community church of Bodega (K+J’s home town), to an all-out barn party at Stemple Creek Ranch, a working cattle ranch in the open pasturelands of Tomales, it was non-stop amazing. Kelsey was stunning, Josh cleaned up nice ;-), details were perfection, and the barn – wow. But overall, the best part of this wedding was the sweetness of these two people together – I had noticed this when we explored Josh’s family dairy farm at their engagement session, and saw it again throughout their wedding day. They are better with each other, calmer, stronger, and simply complete. Happy wedding day, K+J! xo
