Weddings
October, 2024

Let's start at the very beginning of this beautiful wedding at The Mountain Terrace venue in Woodside, California. This couple read their vows to each other on the same date as their dating anniversary. It was truly meant to be that their anniversary fell on a Friday and that the venue was available! Their closest family and friends flew and drove from all over the country to California. With both the bride and groom being from Minnesota, all of their guests came from out of state—and it was well worth the travel!

The couple chose a morning ceremony, and it lined up perfectly with the soft morning light filtering through the redwood trees. Their ceremony brought many tears, and everyone was searching for a box of tissues. The couple read the sweetest vows to each other, and both of them were wiping away tears. They sealed their marriage with a kiss and excitedly walked down the aisle as their loved ones cheered them on!

After the ceremony, their family and friends gathered to listen to her father's heartfelt toast (where even more tears were shed!) and to share a delicious meal. Later, the bride and groom, her brother, and I all crammed into my car, and we headed down the windy mountain road to take photos along the coast in Half Moon Bay. I had scouted the most beautiful cliffside, complete with steps leading down to the beach. It was about a mile walk there and back, but the bride and groom were thrilled to go to a more private spot for photos! I made sure to check with them if they were okay with the walk, and they said it would actually be nice to take a stroll and soak it all in.

Their reception was poolside, where the bride changed into the most fun dress! Speeches were given by their siblings, and the night ended with a lively dance party. WHAT A PERFECT DAY!
