Emily & Aaron's wedding.. What an amazing day!!
Both Emily and Aaron are from the Sacramento area but both met at Oregon State University.. What are the odds!!!
Early in the morning, we arrived at the Bradley Ranch Winery where they were both getting ready. We decided to start with Emily during the hair and make-up and continue on with some detailed shots of her dress and accessories. Her bridesmaids were also getting ready at the same time while having mimosas to maintain calm during the big day!
After spending some time with Emily and her bridesmaids, we headed to another room in the venue to shoot a few getting ready photos of Aaron and his groomsmen. Turns out that the room where they were getting ready was part of the brewery/bar! Aaron mentioned that he was not used to the 100 degree weather anymore! They both love the cooler weather, which is also my preferred weather, but there was nothing we could do about that.
As we were taking photos of Aaron and his groomsmen, they showed me their amazing custom socks! Which I was a bit jealous about because I am also a huge Marvel fan!
The ceremony took place at the Saint Maria Goretti Catholic Church in Elk Grove. The ceremony was very special for Emily and Aaron. They both had the company of their closest friends and family! All of the guests at the ceremony were very excited to be able to experience a very special day for Emily and Aaron. When the ceremony ended, everyone cheered to congratulate them on their next chapter in life!
Back to the venue, the Bradley Ranch Winery, to take some photos of Emily and Aaron along with their groomsmen and bridesmaids. Let me tell you, even though this day was one of the hottest days of the summer, this was by far the most fun wedding party photos we had all year! Everyone was having such a great time doing fun poses for the camera!! and I was loving it!!! To finish up the photo session, they all jumped into the back of the tractor and guess who was driving it?!! I will let you scroll down to the photos to find out!!
Man... what a great entrance to the start of the reception!!
As everyone was arriving, the guests had a lot of options for food and drinks! There was sushi, tacos, soda, beer, wine and more! After dinner, the night started with a dance by Arron and his mom, then a dance by Emily and her dad, followed by their first dance as newly weds! Everything went very smoothly throughout the night. We even had some time to take photos during golden hour!!
The dance floor opened after cutting the cake, then everyone got up to dance with the couple! It was an incredible night and I cannot write enough of such an amazing wedding!
I hope everyone enjoys the photos!
