High on a hilltop in Paso Robles, Chateau Robles became the stage for a storybook escape—one part Versailles grandeur, one part Bridgerton romance, with a dash of Central Coast charm. Real couple Mackenzie and Jeff stepped into the spotlight once more, reliving their own wedding day magic with an air of Parisian elegance and theatrical flair.
A curated blend of antique books, candelabras, and cherub statues set the tone, while a sky-blue loveseat and playful tricycle bar—“Petite Boissons”—brought a sense of whimsy to the affair. French-inspired cocktails flowed, oysters were freshly shucked, and a towering spread of cheese and macarons invited guests into an indulgent fête worthy of the Left Bank.
The fashion was nothing short of cinematic. Mackenzie wore two Mareh Couture gowns: one with vintage corset-inspired structure and sweeping lace, the other—a cloud of tulle with off-the-shoulder sleeves—like something out of a countryside fairytale. Florals by Jaselle added richness and height, with locally grown dahlias, soaring delphiniums, and butterfly ranunculus dancing in the breeze.
Live strings floated through the air, anchoring the scene in romance as the couple wandered through the manicured grounds, a baby lamb trailing behind them. Though the original wedding had been marked by rain, this sun-drenched shoot offered a joyful reimagining—just as magical, and maybe even more so. A celebration of beauty, collaboration, and a second chance to say je t’aime.
