Victoria and Erik’s wedding at a private estate regenerative farm in California was nothing short of magical. I first met this amazing couple a couple of years ago through a mutual friend during a trip to San Jose, and it was such an honor to capture their unique and heartfelt celebration.
From the moment I arrived, I could tell this wedding was going to be extraordinary. The setting itself felt like something out of a storybook – lush greenery, charming details, and a sense of serenity that perfectly suited Victoria and Erik’s personalities. The rain was touch-and-go throughout the day, but just as the ceremony began, the clouds parted, and the sun bathed the couple in the most beautiful light.
Victoria is a creative force, and it showed in so many personal touches throughout the day. She crafted her own veil, which was a breathtaking work of art. The couple also did a traditional tea ceremony, blending cultural significance with their modern love story. It was a deeply touching moment that brought their families together in such a meaningful way.
Despite the occasional drizzle, the weather couldn’t dampen the spirit of the day. If anything, the brief rain showers added a touch of romance, with umbrellas dotting the farm as guests mingled and celebrated. And when the sun made its appearance, it illuminated the farm in golden hues, providing the perfect backdrop for their vows and portraits.
One of the most delightful aspects of the day was how Victoria and Erik incorporated their love for Disney. Instead of the usual first dances, they opted for a series of games that gave the reception a lively carnival vibe. Guests laughed, cheered, and joined in the fun, making it one of the most interactive and joyous weddings I’ve ever photographed. It was so fitting for a couple who truly embraces whimsy and fun in their lives.
Congratulations, Victoria and Erik! Thank you for letting me be a part of your unforgettable day. Here’s to a lifetime of love, laughter, and happily ever afters!
