Lisa and Sean’s wedding at Korakia Pensione in Palm Springs wall filled with incredible words. They are writers after all. They met through their work as screen writers here in Los Angeles, so it came as no surprise that we hit it off right away through our mutual love of story. Their guests shuffled into the courtyard of Korakia Pensione and a familiar buzz of excitement settled on the crowd. It was a true family affair. Lisa emerged from a staircase at the back of the crowd alongside her mother. She met her soon to be husband and was greeted by Sean’s dad who performed the ceremony. His words were full and sincere. They seemed to ring from a place deeper and more well rooted than this age. Out of nowhere an audience member stood and recited lyrics from a love song. They sat, only to be followed by another, and another, and another. Hearing the words to a song without the music brings a whole new light to the craft of songwriting and Lisa and Sean’s choices were brilliant. The rest of the evening was painted with hugs, drinks around fire pits, and heartfelt speeches. The couple’s friends were equally as eloquent when giving their speeches during the open mic portion of the evening.
We’ve often talked about what we might do today if we were to get married again. Korakia Pensione would be at the top of our list. We can’t wait to work with their incredible staff again. A huge thank you to Lisa and Sean and their incredibly warm family and friends for inviting us in and making us feel at home. Here are a few favorites from the day.
