A Whimscial Spring Wedding at Milagro Winery

Carolyn and Bryce’s love story took an unexpected turn when their original wedding photographer failed to deliver a single image from their October 2022 wedding. Determined to give them the memories they deserved, HMUA Dannielle Robeson rallied a team of generous San Diego vendors to create an unforgettable surprise. What began as a casual wine tasting turned into a beautifully orchestrated second wedding at Milagro Winery. Carolyn’s gown secretly brought in, featured an overskirt made from her mother’s dress. Family members flew in to recreate lost portraits, and beneath a towering oak tree, the couple exchanged vows once more in an intimate ceremony adorned with donated florals. As the sun set over the Syrah vines, they celebrated with wine, cake, and a heartfelt dance. With a whimsical touch and photography by Alyssa DeGraff, this second wedding became a truly magical new beginning.
