Madeline & Kyle: A Backyard Wedding with Stained Glass and Southern Charm

January 20, 2024

Nestled in the backyard of the bride’s family home in the California Central Valley, this wedding day was an absolute dream. Madeline, a visionary with an eye for design, poured her heart into every element. From the restored stained glass window used as the backdrop for their ceremony, to the individually selected stamps that adorned the corner of each guest’s invitation envelope; every single detail was as intentional as it was beautiful.
