Natalia and Guido's destination wedding at Carmel Mission Basilica was a breathtaking celebration of love and tradition. Nestled amidst the picturesque coastal beauty of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, the historic basilica provided a stunning backdrop for their traditional Catholic ceremony. As the couple exchanged their vows in the hallowed halls of the mission, the warm California sun streamed through the ancient stained glass windows, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere. After the ceremony, Natalia and Guido rode in a vintage Chevy to Mission Ranch, where they captured the magic of the golden hour with sunset photos in a charming field inhabited by grazing sheep. Returning to their guests, they were welcomed with a lively cocktail hour. The air was filled with laughter and joy as guests showered the newlyweds with confetti, creating a joyous and colorful moment that perfectly symbolized the couple's happiness. The evening continued with a sumptuous dinner, heartfelt toasts, and unforgettable moments on the dance floor. Natalia and Guido danced the night away with their loved ones, celebrating their love and the beginning of their new life together.
