A Joyful and Intimate Catalina Island Wedding
Kylie and Ryan’s Catalina Island wedding was the perfect blend of relaxed, romantic, and joy-filled. With a small group of their closest family members, they planned a destination celebration that felt both intimate and adventurous — a day filled with meaningful moments and spontaneous fun.
Getting Ready at Hamilton Cove
The day began at a serene villa in Hamilton Cove, where Kylie and Ryan got ready with a peaceful ocean view just outside their windows. With the sound of waves crashing below and the excitement building, their morning was filled with laughter, sweet details, and anticipation.
Exploring the Island Together
Wrigley Memorial & Botanical Garden
One of the first stops was the Wrigley Memorial and Botanical Garden — a favorite among Catalina couples for its mix of greenery, artful architecture, and quiet walking paths. This was the perfect place for their first look and some private time before the ceremony.
Beach Moments & Buffalo Milk
After portraits, we explored Avalon and shared a few lighthearted moments on the beach. Kylie and Ryan even made a quick stop at The Lobster Trap to try the island’s signature drink — the famous “Buffalo Milk” — and later gathered with family for a relaxed meal at Topside.
A Stunning Cliffside Ceremony
As the sun began to lower, Kylie and Ryan exchanged vows on a cliffside overlooking the Pacific Ocean. With the sea breeze and sweeping views as their backdrop, the ceremony felt deeply personal and full of love. It was the perfect ending to a day that reflected everything important to them — connection, simplicity, and joy.
