Banafsheh + Virag’s wedding day at the Darlington House in La Jolla, California was incredible to say the least! From the moment I arrived, I could feel the eager anticipation. Every moment was special leading up to the couple’s heartfelt first look + especially B’s walk down the aisle with her father and step-father.

A personal + romantic outdoor garden ceremony

After a light-hearted ceremony (we were all laughing multiples times thanks to their officiant), Virag and his beautiful bride treated their guests. They had some fantastic comfort food, a cocktail hour in the garden courtyard, and finally dinner + dancing on the venue’s patio under the stars! I also can’t begin to describe to you the excitement and fun of their dance floor during the reception. Their families did not STOP dancing until their classic car exit at the very end — I was so impressed they could all dance so much all night long! Make sure you read all the way to the end of this post, their exit car was almost too good to be true.

Theirs was a wedding day I will never forget, and I can’t thank Banafsheh + Virag enough for having me travel out to California for their big day. The day was expertly coordinated + planned by Weddings by Lisa Nicole. She was working hard in the background of the whole celebration, so you can find an entire list of vendors at the end of this post. Thanks to everyone for all your hard work, and best wishes to you both, B + Virag!
