Ajai and Jonathan’s romantic wedding at Fullerton Arboretum was inspired by the sultry vibes of the groom’s New Orleans roots and the couple’s adventurous engagement photo session in Joshua Tree. The arboretum, a sprawling botanical garden bursting with life, was the perfect setting for a seriously romantic garden wedding complete with a bespoke marquee from Create A Party hung with chandeliers and twinkling lights.

Kayci Decker Photography recreated the magic from the couple’s desert engagement session, encouraging them to climb boulders and adventure in their formal attire on their wedding day for some unforgettable couple portraits.
