Shannon and Ronnie had all the magical elements of a fairy-tale storybook ceremony | Meet the couple | photography By Studio Opia | Article By MARITZAGARCIA.WEBSITE

Back in April of 2022, I was contacted by Shannon McGovern who was in full wedding preparation mode, and with her wedding date quickly approaching, there was no time to waste, so we got right to work on designing the perfect wedding invitation for her and Ronnie's big day.

The lovely couple chose a blush premium cardstock for their invitation. To achieve a textured 3D effect I added layers of cardstock letter cutouts to create this unique design.

Getting Ready

The backdrop for their ceremony was located at Hyatt Carmel Highlands, Carmel By the Sea on California's Monterey Peninsula. The breathtaking scenery overlooks the Big Sur Coast. making it the perfect venue for the couple's fairytale wedding.

Photos by Daniel and Donna of Studio Opia captured all the dreaminess and elegance of the event so gracefully, the images are captivating —wouldn’t you agree?

Both Donna and Daniel's remarkable ability to interpret what they see through their camera lens into a photograph with so much detail truly conveys the couple's photography style, Or as they describe it —fine art photography.

The wedding color palette was an infinite sea of blushes in every shade of delicate pink that captured the very essence of romance. Florist Mandy Wang is known for her organic-inspired textures and romantic color palettes.

During this beautiful seaside celebration, the bridal couple was surrounded by friends and family, and emotions were high as attendees genuinely filled the atmosphere with their love and joy for them.

Thank you Shannon and Ronnie for sharing your fairytale ceremony with us! Congratulations to you both!!
