Taya & Chris
Taya and Chris's wedding day unfolded at the stunning Driftwood Lodge in Jenner, California, where classic elegance met oceanside charm. The morning began with Taya surrounded by her bridesmaids, sharing special moments as her mom and sister helped her into her wedding dress. The first looks were beautifully staged - first with her bridesmaids and brides-men, then with her dad and brother, and finally, the sweetest first look with Chris.
We snuck away to a nearby spot for bride and groom portraits, where the bright blue Pacific created a breathtaking backdrop. A charming set of seaside stairs gave us some of the day's most memorable shots. We then returned to Driftwood Lodge, where we captured the bridal party before the ceremony began.
The ceremony was beautiful, with Taya and Chris exchanging heartfelt vows that left everyone wiping away tears. During cocktail hour, even a few unexpected goats made an appearance! The reception that followed featured incredibly delicious food and touching toasts. As night fell, guests took to what turned out to be one of the most energetic dance floors I've ever photographed.
