A Classic Black Tie Nautical Wedding in Monterey by Laura Young

Lauren and Dan’s wedding venue was one of the finest luxury hotels in North America, the Hotel Del Monte, a total hidden gem, now occupies the present Naval Postgraduate School. Lauren was one of the most stunning brides we’ve ever laid eyes on! Dan dressed to the nines in his military formals, had a grin ear to ear, not being able to take his eyes off his blushing bride. These two shared the most heartfelt first look, then hand in hand, we walked the venue grounds, capturing their love story that would be told for generations.
