LeeAnne and Alex got married at the Highlands Inn of Carmel, California. Carmel is one of the most beautiful places for a wedding… with gorgeous waves and beaches, and extremely unique natural beauty…

Will Taylor at Bliss Wedding Studio captured the entire event on camera. Here are some details, straight from the horse’s mouth…

Though LeeAnne and Alex live thousands of miles apart (she in Portland,Oregon; he in Ann Arbor, Michigan) they decided to seal the deal with a beautiful outdoor wedding at Highlands Inn in Carmel, California. The Central Coast is notorious for fog and drizzle at that time of year, and even as we were driving along the coast the day before the wedding, we were afraid the clouds would never lift in time for their afternoon nuptials. But as luck would have it, the morning of their wedding was sunny, warm, gorgeous and as blue as can be - not a single cloud in the sky!

LeeAnne was reminiscent of a mermaid with her stunning white gown, which featured fluttery ‘petal’ details and a cocoa-colored satin sash. Her groom Alex, as well as her bridesmaids, all wore earthy browns in simple silhouettes. Since the backdrop for their wedding was already so spectacular (the ceremony took place on the Highlands Inn terrace, which overlooked the picturesque Carmel coastline) they kept the rest of the details understated and elegant, with the perfect balance of rustic and contemporary.
