The Lodge at Torrey Pines Wedding Photography | Tatum + Bryan

Friday, July 22, 2016

Tatum + Bryan might as well be the sweetest & most gorgeous couple on earth. They are as humble as they come, down-to-earth & madly in love. I know that I hit the jackpot in the client-department with them.

When I heard that Tatum + Bryan’s wedding was going to be “Anthropologie-inspired”, and at The Lodge Torrey Pines, I jumped for joy. Keli Christensen from Monarch Weddings nailed her elegant and romantic design that complemented The Lodge at Torrey Pines’ rustic & craftsmen palette. Every detail was so perfectly planned, it looked like a luxurious wedding-heaven.

Tatum & Bryan, thank you for the honor of photographing your wedding and for treating us so warmly as if we were one of your guests. Your day was beyond perfect and I wish you nothing but the best. Big love to you both! Xo, Patty

Monarch Weddings design inspiration: ” Tatum is a natural beauty with a great sense of style. Her wedding dress and design aesthetic reflected this. She wanted to create a vintage eclectic look & feel, while incorporating the Lodge’s rustic charm and of course a touch of feminine elegance. The design direction definitely had an “ode-to-the-Anthropologie style” which was a perfect fit for her fashion style. We used a neutral color palette with ivory, grey, cream & champagne tones. Then I brought in touches of elegance with gold elements – from her Gold Foil printed invitations, to the gold charger plates to the mercury gold votives & floral vessels. The wedding flowers were a deconstructed look; very loose & organic feeling. To continue this rustic Anthropologie – style, we brought in beautiful farm tables where we put an eclectic mix of floral pieces & mixed knick-nacks (i.e. magnifying glass, clocks or rock geode amethyst stones).
