We partnered with our friends at In The Mix for another wonderful wedding. Carissa and Garrett were very sweet and a lot of fun. They chose a little hidden jem venue at the Araz Program Center in Ventura, Ca (up the Ojai area). For all former Girl Scouts, you might recongnize this place as it is one of the retreat locations in Southern California. A beutiful day for a wedding. I don't think there was a cloud in the sky and for a smaller guest count they sure loved to dance the night away.
