Santa Barbara Photographer, Wedding & Event

I photographed a truly unique wedding today. Today’s bride and groom were vegans.  Vegans are kind of like vegetarians, but vegans are more strict.  They were earth loving, up-scaled, quiet people.

Reception Decoration, Food, Desert

The wedding reception was calm and loving.  Most of all, it was not loud.  I didn’t have to wear my ear plugs which I always wear at wedding receptions.  They made a strong point about taking care of earth, recycling, and healthy life-style.  What they demonstrated was very educational to me.

Their dinner tables were all covered with brown papers.  Their dinner plates were made out of bamboo.  All of their silver-wears were bamboo as well.  The tables were not sparkling, but they were warm and classy.

Vegan (vegetarian) Wedding Menu

I was very surprised by the fancy, quality meal they had for the wedding guest.  I never had any vegan wedding menu before.  The food was very colorful (vivid) and they tasted good.  I mean it was a super fantastic meal.

For desert, they had vegan ice cream.  The bride and groom kept insisted that I get a taste of their vegan ice cream.  But I just didn’t get the chance.  After all, I was there to work. . 

This has to be one of the most memorable wedding receptions.  The reception seemed more spiritual.  Vegetarians tend to care more about life.  I could feel that special energy from the bride and groom.  I felt small and humble.  It was a very educational experience to me.
