Enitome and Ryan’s wedding at Ethereal Gardens in Escondido, California was one of those rare days. Every detail was intentionally curated, effortlessly refined, and infused with a sense of quiet luxury that felt both elevated and deeply personal.

Set against the lush, manicured grounds of Ethereal Gardens, the day unfolded beneath a clear Southern California sky. The air felt light and calm, creating the perfect backdrop for a celebration rooted in romance and intention. From the moment guests arrived, it was evident that every element had been thoughtfully designed.
