Sherrill and Ryan’s wedding at Kennolyn Hilltop Hacienda was a beautiful multi-cultural celebration full of love, laughter, and connection. Sherrill, a devoted mom to her 17-year-old daughter London, met Ryan during the pandemic through a thoughtful introduction by Ryan’s best friend, Curtis. Four years later, they celebrated their blended family — Sherrill, Ryan, their three daughters, and two cats. They had a Chinese tea ceremony to start their day where they honored both sides of their families then had the most beautiful ceremony in the towering redwoods.
Their shared love of nature and the outdoors was evident in every detail. Kennolyn Hilltop Hacienda’s forested hills provided a magical backdrop for their fall wedding, with soft golden light filtering through the trees, creating that dreamy, whimsical vibe they envisioned. For couples planning a Kennolyn Hilltop Hacienda wedding or an intimate Santa Cruz wedding, leaning into the unique beauty of your surroundings while staying true to your story creates unforgettable moments. Sherrill and Ryan’s wedding shows how authenticity, family, and love can come together in a way that feels both magical and real.
