On a sunny August day, Gabrielle and Darek Stachowski hosted a wedding that would make Cupid himself envious, meticulously crafting a celebration reflecting their unique styles and playful nature. Their ideas took root and grew at Redeemed Farm, bathed in golden sunlight reminiscent of spectacular Carmel Valley, California. Radiant bride Gabrielle fell head over heels for bridal designer Victoria Chapman’s creations, dressing her bridesmaids in gowns that exuded charm and elegance. Parasols and wicker baskets transformed her bridal squad into golden-coast vineyard aficionados, whisking guests away into a coastal dream. The aesthetics? Organic, abstract, whimsical and delightfully floral-heavy. Gabrielle’s attire was nothing short of showstopping, from her A-line wedding gown with detachable puff sleeves to her post-ceremony transformation into a sensual satin-and-lace evening dress. The bride particularly loved the surprise detail: handcrafted cathedral-length tulle scarves, one for the ceremony and a shorter version for the reception, adding sleek romance. After witnessing the vows, the full party sat down to dine at rustic wood tables with soft candlelight, translucent fabric runners and abundant arrangements. And the magic didn’t stop when the clock struck midnight. With Gabrielle’s unique perspective as a wedding photographer, she took on the task of editing her own wedding photos, ensuring each moment was captured as envisioned. Their wedding day was a breathtaking masterpiece, a love-filled garden party that transported everyone to a world of wonder.
