Some love stories start small — like a Hinge date over cappuccinos — and turn into something extraordinary. For Ariana and Alec, that first coffee date led to a lifelong connection. After three years of dating, they tied the knot in a vibrant and faith-filled Arroyo Grande wedding at the breathtaking Casitas Estate.


Getting Ready at The Casitas Estate

The morning began at the Casitas Estate, surrounded by rolling hills and the charm of Spanish-style architecture. Inside the bridal suite, Ariana was still deciding which piece of her mom’s jewelry to wear — a sentimental touch that perfectly reflected her heart. The soft hum of excitement filled the air as family and friends prepared for a day that felt both elegant and effortlessly joyful.

The Ceremony: Promises of Faith and Love

Down a staircase lined with Spanish tiles and surrounded by nearby vineyards, Ariana and Alec said “I do.” Their vows centered on keeping their faith and God at the heart of their marriage, and even promised to find a shared hobby — a small but meaningful symbol of their partnership.


It was a moment full of emotion and laughter, framed by the warm California sunshine and the stunning backdrop that makes Arroyo Grande weddings so special.

Cocktail Hour and Reception on the Lawn

Following the ceremony, guests gathered on the estate’s courtyard for cocktails and conversation before moving to the reception lawn. Signature drinks for both Ariana and Alec reflected their personalities — fun, colorful, and full of life.


As the sun set, golden light spilled across the estate, bathing the vibrant florals and joyful guests in warmth. Toasts and laughter filled the evening as this colorful summer wedding came to life under the stars.


A Perfect Day Captured by San Luis Obispo Wedding Photographer

As a San Luis Obispo wedding photographer, I’m always drawn to celebrations that reflect the couple’s personalities. Ariana and Alec’s Casitas Estate wedding was a reminder that love can be both grounded in faith and bursting with color.

Their day was full of intentional details, genuine connection, and a celebration of the people who’ve walked beside them through every chapter.
