The fresh and lush gardens of Black Diamond Gardens played host to Bethany and Carlos’ beautiful wedding day, which was held on the 22nd June 2018 in Washington. Their ceremony was held outdoors against a beautiful arbour of blooms with trees all around them. They then celebrated in the stunning greenhouse, which gave their day a cool modern vibe thanks to their pared back décor decisions. What with the fabric draped from the ceiling and flowers just everywhere, so heavenly. There were so many gorgeous details, from the rustic wooden signage to the statement cake table and balloon adorned sweetheart table too.
Onto the outfits because they were just ever so stylish. Bethany chose to wear a slinky gown which featured a striking train and a touch of lace, Carlos and the groomsmen all wore navy blue suits with tan shoes and the bridesmaids wore mix and match blush dresses. How wonderful they all looked!
We are over the moon to be sharing these sensational shots by Beginning and End Photography today, what a treat! Enjoy them all folks.
The Proposal
We decided to take a day trip to Crystal Mountain and Carlos wanted to make a video since he is into videography and loves capturing our trips. I didn’t think anything of it because he always is recording. He filmed the whole morning and we took the gondolas to the top of the mountain. Once we got to the top he told me to stand there so he could position the tripod and take a picture of us. Little did I know he was getting the camera set so he could propose!

Advice For Other Couples
Plan ahead. One piece of advice to a bride planning her wedding would be DON’T PROCRASTINATE! I could have avoided a ton of unnecessary stress had I been more prepared. You don’t have as much time as you think you will and little things always come up last minute.
