Derek & Susan’s Wedding Sneak Peek | Boundary Oaks Golf Course in Walnut Creek, CA

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.

(bahahaha…)boundary-oaks-golf-course-wedding-walnut-grove-11BUT 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.boundary-oaks-golf-course-wedding-walnut-grove-18

Now let’s get back to business so we can get the bride ready for her first look:

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.

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!!!**
