Capturing Elizabeth and Drew’s Chinoiserie Inspired Morais Vineyard Wedding was an absolute delight, marking the culmination of four years of anticipation. Despite the curveball thrown by COVID in 2020, Elizabeth and Drew gracefully pivoted, opting for a courthouse ceremony with hopes of a future celebration with loved ones. Fast forward four years and two children later, their dream wedding finally unfolded.
The day was a whirlwind of emotions, laughter, and heartfelt gifts, culminating in lively dancing late into the night. The exquisite chinoiserie theme adorned not only the bridesmaids’ dresses but also the reception décor, adding an extra layer of beauty to an already magical occasion. Elizabeth and Drew’s journey is a testament to resilience and the enduring power of love, shining brightly on their special day.
