The night before a wedding has its own kind of magic.
Dani and Matt gathered their closest people at Carmel Valley Ranch for a hoedown under the California sky. As Shabbat came to a close, the havdalah candle was lit, the spices were passed, and something shifted in the room… that quiet, sacred moment that marks the end of one thing and the beginning of another. And then the band kicked in, two friends stepped forward with their violins, and the whole night caught fire.
California light does something to people. It softens everything. It makes the candid moments look like they were planned and the planned moments look effortless. I fall in love with it every time we travel out there.
This was just the rehearsal dinner. The wedding hadn’t even started yet.
