Two days ago, we had the most wonderful pleasure to photograph Derek & Susan’s wedding at Boundary Oaks Golf Course in Walnut Grove, CA.
Since their ceremony was not until 6PM, we planned to day to start with:
– Getting ready photos
– Followed by the bride & groom’s first look under the venue’s famous oak tree.
– After that, they held the traditional Chinese tea ceremony.
– We then did formal bridal photos,
– Followed by the walking-down-the-aisle wedding ceremony, and
– Lastly, the wedding reception in the ballroom.
Since we are sooooo excited to share this wedding with you, here is a sneak peek of their wedding day.
THE PRETTY DETAILS:
As usual, we always start off the day with photographing all of the pretty details that the bride spent endless hours preparing.
The girls got matching TOMS so of course we had to do a shoe shot.
And just for kicks and giggles, I got onto the floor just to get a photo of them starting down at me as though they were looking at their shoes. (bahahaha…)
BUT FIRST, lemme take a selfie!!!
While we’re at it, we also did a bunch of funny videos for Snapchat too. LMAO
Love these girls so much for not being afraid to be silly.
Now let’s get back to business so we can get the bride ready for her first look:
Meanwhile, Derek and his groomsmen are pretty all done.
THE FIRST LOOK UNDER THE GIANT OAK TREE:
Boundary Oaks has a really large beautiful oak tree in the middle of the golf course that they only allow the bride and groom to be photographed under. So naturally that was the perfect spot for Derek and Susan to do their first look under.
And since this oak tree is so perfect, we stayed a little longer to take formal photos as well.
Right after the formal look, Susan changed into a traditional dress so they can do the tea ceremony. The beautiful thing about Boundary Oaks is that there is space to do everything on the property. There is plenty of parking and you don’t need to drive anywhere afterward.
THE BRIDAL PARTY PHOTOS:
After the tea ceremony, we did bridal party photos.
Oh how I love this group. They were down to do everything that we suggested and even came up with some fun ideas of their own. And THAT LIGHTING?
**It was soooo beautiful!!!**
NOW LET’S GET READY FOR THE WEDDING CEREMONY:
Aren’t these the most adorable wedding program you’ve seen? They even had the whole bridal party illustrated in the back. (**My heart was squealing from happiness when I saw one of the guests hold them. So I borrowed 4. tehehee…)
After photos with family and friends, we tried to get the last of Saturday’s sunset before heading into the wedding reception.
