Anne and Chad wanted to bring a lovable, fun, and laid-back take to their cowboys and cacti wedding in San Diego. They were married over the summer at a really fun venue in San Diego, Leo Carrillo Ranch, with peacocks roaming and sand all around.

Could it be more flamboyantly perfect? (A group of flamingos is called a “flamboyance” — get it?)
