Brent and Angela—Kestrel Park, Santa Inez, CA

We can’t say for sure that Brent and Angela’s adorable one-year-old golden retriever, Nala, didn’t steal the show, but she was certainly stiff competition. Their summer wedding at the incomparable Kestrel Park estate was the perfect mix of Alice-in-Wonderland meets Old World splendor. Angela and Brent tied the knot under rows of immaculately groomed Sycamore trees, which also hosted the most amazing reception set-up we’ve seen yet. An elegant cocktail hour in the garden served as the prelude to a night of good food and good drink, something especially close to Brent’s heart. Though surrounded by a stunning venue and amazing natural beauty, we were struck most by Brent and Angela’s devotion to their guest experience and how grounded they remained—sometimes taking the most pleasure in their simple moments alone with each other and with their cherished fur-baby.
