After our first visit to the Hartley Botanica, we were instantly inspired by the surroundings. Ideas ran rapid within our heads on how this particular wedding, ultimately, should look. The venue is a true hidden gem in a small pocket of Somis, California. It was extra special that Nam Lam, our Lead Planner personally knew the bride and groom, Kate & Alec. Nam has been a close friend of the groom’s family for over 12 years. It was an honor and a personal duty to design and plan THE wedding. For months, Nam worked intensely with the bride, down to the day before the wedding. The end result was a beautiful wedding, filled with details and a personal satisfaction that I will never forget. CONGRATS Kate and Alec, Love Nam and the Modern LA Weddings team. Checkout the fabulous photos from Chris Schmitt Photography ♥
