Kristen + Sion | Elopement at Chateau St. Jean in Kenwood

There is a growing trend towards smaller weddings and elopements. Yet scaling down does not have to mean compromising on quality and style. Sion and Kristen, a couple who works in the hospitality industry, turned to wedding planners Tan Weddings & Events. We have been providing elopement packages for several years, and the smaller scale places the focus completely on the couple. There is more importance on intention and attention.

The pictures by Valley Images Photography express the couple’s love and highlight the creative talents of the vendors curated by Tan Weddings & Events. Chateau St. Jean in the Valley of the Moon region of Sonoma County provided a romantic setting of the olive grove, vines, and mansion. Bloom & Vine’s bouquet of seasonal blooms of playa blanca garden roses, brown lisianthus, panda anemone, and ranunculus with sprats of seeded olive greens perfectly displayed a crisply modern yet vintage color palette. BatterUp Cakery proved a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting is sweet as it is subtly sublime.

​Add in a custom ceremony using the Wedwordy app, and a harpist, and the smaller scale event is an exquisite elopement with uncompromising quality, style, and heart.
