Back to The Grace Maralyn! with Zak and Ansley 9.14.13

The Grace Maralyn is a wonderful place for a Wedding.

           Zak and Ansley live in San Diego, They wanted a party with a Wedding attached....lol The ceremony was in the Garden at The Grace Maralyn in rural Atascadero, California. The style was Modern Romantic with a big mix of cool idea's from friends and Pinterest. They put together a team of vendors led by Terry and Lisa, the on-site coordinators from TGM. The guests were playing cool yard games during the cocktail hour and enjoyed beverages throughout the property. After pics the Bride and Groom joined the party with a Grand Entrance into a buffet meal prepared by McGee's Catering. The barn at TGM is a really great space which becomes the center for dancing later in the night. This was no exception, the dancing was off the hook and We stretched the music (new, old, everything) up to the last minute and ended with Queen's "Fat Bottom Girls".... lol ....awesome. Every Wedding has its style and this one was all about Ansley & Zak, We made some friends, had a blast and sent them on their way to Happily Ever After. Thanks to You Two and your Families, Loved it.
And now for all the Details,........ Have Fun!
