Surrounded by Love: Traci & Jon-Thomas’ Monterey Wedding
August 23, 2024
Traci and Jon-Thomas were joined in a heartwarming celebration of love at the charming Barns at Cooper Molera in Monterey. With rustic elegance and timeless romance woven into every detail, the day unfolded in a way that reflected not only the couple’s bond but also the radiant love of those around them.
Traci wore a stunning gown by Newhite, selected from the curated collection at Unveiled Bridal. “It just felt the most comfortable and me,” she shared, remembering how she couldn’t stop thinking about the dress that ultimately became the one.
Of all the beautiful moments, one memory stands out: exchanging personal vows surrounded by loved ones — a truly unforgettable expression of intimacy and meaning. “What made the day special was the amount of love surrounding us,” Traci recalled. That energy echoed through the joyful celebration, making the occasion feel both sacred and spirited.
The couple entrusted Rachel Reynolds Co with capturing the essence of their day, and though they’re still awaiting the full album, early glimpses hint at the magic preserved in each frame.
As for her gown, Traci is still deciding whether to pass it on or part with it — but one thing is clear: “This dress needs to be restored.” Following a recommendation from Unveiled, she chose Elegance Preserved for cleaning and preservation, ensuring the beauty of her gown remains intact, whether it’s cherished for a lifetime or shared with another bride-to-be.
