We’re very excited to share Alyssa and Danny’s Shadowbrook Restaurant Wedding!

Alyssa found her strapless gown at David’s Bridal, while Danny wore a blue suit paired with a light blue bowtie. They sent out wedding invitations via The Knot and chose the Creekside Patio at Shadowbrook alongside the Soquel Creek for their ceremony. Alyssa had her hair and makeup done by Anne Igiebor of Uwa’s Artistry.

The couple shares an affinity for Legos, with special replicas made of them for the wedding day. The groom even made a small bouquet of Lego flowers. Alyssa walked up the tiled stairs to meet Danny to the music of classical guitarist Ken Constable, with an ivy-covered wall creating an archway for their nuptials.

Their reception was held in the Greenhouse, catered by Shadowbrook Restaurant. Alyssa and Danny signed their wedding certificate, dined, and mingled with guests, with speeches and toasts given by loved ones. They played a shoe game and Alyssa tossed her bouquet before cutting their chocolate-filled three-tiered wedding cake.

Lastly, they headed outside for a ribbon walk, with wedding guests waving ribbon wands to form an aisle for the couple to walk through before boarding a Shadowbrook Restaurant shuttle decorated for their wedding day.

Our team at Sound Originals loved being there to capture Alyssa & Danny’s wedding day. Please enjoy their photos!
