Maria & Brian’s Hartley Botanica wedding was breathtaking (see their sneak peeks here). The venue itself is full of little gardens and tons of trees, making it a wedding photographer’s dream (check out that tree tunnel to the ceremony!). The lovely bride and groom met in Los Angeles, but are currently living in London, where Maria and her family are from. Since Brian and Maria make a great team (professionally and personally!), they worked hard on a lot of DIY projects for their special day, including their wedding stationary and seating chart! Maria herself made her bridal crown and wedding signs. Here are some of my favorites from their amazing wedding day!
