Enchanting Editorial At the Exclusive Cal-a-Vie Health Spa
This is the kind of striking beauty that makes me wish I could go back in time and choose this very venue for my own wedding day. Sun-drenched hillsides, Provencal architecture, and a 400-year-old chapel from Dijon, France are just a few things you can expect to see at Cal-a-Vie Health Spa. Brooke Keegan Special Events put together a styled shoot that celebrates the elegance of the venue, while Kaleb Norman James Design blew us away with his romantic floral arrangements (ummm, can we talk about that ceremony?!)
From Jacqui Cole... This inspiration shoot was the product of the first KCK Collective Experience - a luxury portfolio building workshop for photographers designed to enhance their portfolio and expand their knowledge of the luxury wedding market. The workshop and artistic direction behind this editorial is led by Brooke Keegan Special Events, Kaleb Norman James and photographer, Jacqui Cole.
Inspiration for the shoot was drawn from the elegance of the venue - Cal-a-Vie Health Spa which is quietly nestled in the hills of Vista, CA. The venue is extremely unique and the grounds are reminiscent of French gardens. We knew that it would be the perfect location for our feminine and romantic shoot.

The 400 year old French chapel imported from Dijon France offered an incredible location to hold the Ceremony. With oversized oak doors, rows of pews and the intimate setting inside, Kaleb created florals that lined the aisle, filled the altar table and adorned the taper candle chandeliers. With no electricity in the Chapel, pillar candles were used to create romance and warmth in the space.
The florals played off of the natural stone surroundings and green hills of Vista, CA. The elegant tablescape included warm whites, creams, peach and soft green tones. The place cards were uniquely placed inside glass cloches with a touch of hellebores. The Ark Rentals provided the curated china, flatware and glassware to create a refined yet whimsical vision.

Beach Bridal Beauty created a soft, subtle look with hair and makeup for our lovely bride who wore a romantic off-the-shoulder Berta gown from Lovella Bridal.
The paper goods from Samantha Meyer Studio were beyond our expectations! The invitations were wrapped in custom monogrammed muslin handkerchiefs and tied with silk ribbon. The 'escort cards' took on a unique twist with muslin wrapped hand poured custom candles that were elegantly tied with each of the guests' names.
The couple enjoyed a champagne toast next to the tiered cake by Grace & Honey. The cake itself was beautiful and elegant and surrounded in florals on top of an antique stone table.
Le Reve Films captured the story of the couple through video and truly showcased the romance and beauty of the entire day.
