October 2014
So thankful to have captured this beautiful fall wedding at the gorgeous Squirrel Creek Ranch in Grass Valley, California! Such a fun couple full of love and laughter. It was an honor to photograph these two on such a special, memorable day!
For starters, the bride and I go waaaaay back…like I'm talking Kindergarten! Over the years, she and I stayed connected through social media, and I was just so excited to receive a message from her last summer inquiring about my wedding photography. It was meant to be :-)
What a fabulous couple Ariel and Will are! Leading up to their big day, they put so much thought and effort into the details: handmade burlap florals, the perfect attire, and lots and lots of wonderful DIY decor for the reception. On the afternoon of their nuptials, their love for one another was incredibly genuine, and they were truly present in the moments of the day.
Thank you, Ariel and Will! You two were such a treat to work with, and I enjoyed getting to know you both.
Here are just a few of the highlights from their special day!
Enjoy!

After spending much of the morning with the ladies, I headed over to the groom's cabin to see what the boys were up to. As expected, they were busy doing what boys do best: drinking, laughing and rocking super hero attire.
Oh, and building bottle towers, too...duh!
But Will, I gotta hand it to you: You clean up nicely!
Their First Look was so sweet! Smiles ear to ear!
These two! So adorable!
After their First Look and a few portraits of the couple, we headed off to start things off with the gentlemen :-)
These guys were so much fun!
And the ladies were fabulous, too!
It was all fun and games until a girls vs boys debate broke out...lol! Love this bridal party! It's always so much fun when both sides of the bridal party are such good friends and have known each other for a long time.
The ceremony was simple, sweet, and very memorable.
I think it is safe to say everyone was thrilled to see Ariel and Will tie the knot :-)
After formal family photos while awaiting dinner, we ventured around the beautiful property and captured some stunning sunset photos.
The reception was held in a rustic old barn that was very unique. Loved all of their personalized and DIY decor.
Their First Dance was sweet and Will kept Ariel smiling and laughing the whole time.
Toasts were pretty darn funny...and heartfelt, too.
And following the cutting of their darling super hero bundt cake...
...the guests danced like crazy in celebration of an absolutely perfect day! Congrats you two!
