Melissa Gardner and Aaron Prather celebrated just before Christmas at the University Club of Pasadena.

Historic architecture, an intimate courtyard, and warm holiday details gave their wedding a refined setting with a playful reception energy.

Melissa and Aaron met beneath the club's arched walkways before gathering with family in the courtyard. Her red hair, beaded gown, and Aaron's navy tuxedo stood out against the pale architecture.
