Along with close family and friends, Nailyn and Alex enjoyed a gorgeous wedding ceremony on a bluff overlooking the Pacific ocean. With the waves crashing against the rocky cliffs below and flocks of pelicans gliding overhead, it was the perfect setting for an intimate ceremony close to nature, Mendocino’s beautiful rugged coastline, and the vastness of the sea. Nailyn wore an absolutely stunning wedding gown with intricate detail and they both looked incredible for this fusion wedding that incorporated both Western and Hindu traditions. Then, it was just a short walk or drive across the street to the beautiful Stanford Inn By the Sea in Mendocino.

And what a celebration it was! Full of heartfelt speeches, toasts, laughter, and dancing, it was a night to let go a little and remember that there is still much to celebrate in life, despite all of the things going on in the world today. With it’s rustic charm and gorgeous windows, the family-owned Stanford Inn was a lovely, intimate setting for their reception. And the desserts… well, I keep getting hungry every time I look at their dessert spread! 😉

I’ll let the images do the rest here. Congratulations Nailyn and Alex!!! You make such a lovely couple and we had a wonderful time with you and your family and friends! Wishing you all the best in your new lives together as husband and wife! Enjoy another sneak peek at a few of the many highlights!
