It began in Big Sur

For me this process started with a trip we took last year for my birthday. We spent the first half of our trip camping in Big Sur California. I cannot even begin to tell you how beautiful Big Sur was. Tall trees, secret beaches, waterfalls, fields of wild flowers! After a long drive from Arizona, we pitched a tent by a river at the Fernwood Resort where my fiance later proposed down stream. And so it began...

We spent the second half of our trip in Monterrey at the Monterrey Plaza Hotel. And then without even realizing we discovered our wedding style.  There we knew we would not be having our wedding at a resort. The hotel, while beautiful, was simply not our style. We had more fun camping, sleeping in the dirt, and exploring the natural beauty in Big Sur than we did shopping, eating at fancy restaurants, and using the "mandatory" valet at our luxury beach front hotel. 
  

And so the wedding planning began...
