Orchids in the trees. A sailcloth tent that starts glowing the moment the sky goes blue.
Karly and Michael married at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe with white orchids mounted in the trees and a sailcloth tent on the croquet lawn. When the sky went blue and the tent lit up, I stepped outside for the photograph that now closes their gallery. The Inn pairs old-California elegance with gardens that give a full day of portrait settings, and that tent at dusk is one of the great reception pictures in Southern California.
