Wild Oak Saddle Club Wedding

Oh man, what could I possibly say about Ashley and Lorenzo’s Wild Oak Saddle Club wedding photos that would sum up this day? What a fabulous couple, wonderful friends and family, and perfect light at a perfect venue. If I had to pick a favorite moment, I’d say that it was the personal vows that these two shared during their first look. If you want to make your first look special (and maybe if you’re nervous about saying your personal vows in front of your family and friends), exchange vows during your first look. It was the sweetest, most emotional part of the day and I felt lucky to have witnessed it. What a moment. There was a sliver of a moon, there was last light on the mountains in Santa Rosa, there was cake with gold foil, an auntie licking a lollipop, a live band, a flirting auntie, the prettiest flowing dress, tears tears tears, and lots of laughter. This was a real good one and a total dream of a day. Lucky I got to celebrate with L&A! What good humans.

I don’t usually second shoot, but it was a lovely dream and a pleasure and so much fun to work with Kenzie Kate to capture this day (you’ll see from the photos that my coverage here is missing some parts of the day. this is why, but I still want to share my favorites!). It’s fun to think differently as a second photographer, back up somebody with some different angles and your personal vision, and just have another photographer there to share the beauty with. I adored working with her and am so thankful she had me along!
