The story
the couple and their wedding was, essentially, goals. Located at Deer Park Villa , in Fairfax CA, the venue has a magical spot under some giant redwoods -- perfect for a romantic ceremony and dinner under cafe lights. Everyone then moved into a large indoor dance hall for an epic dance party late into the night. The event was effortless yet stunningly beautiful, full of laughter, abundant love, lots of bad dance moves, and they got visited by magical wild deer (Deer Park Villa is more than just a name). If it's not obvious we loved this wedding -- and we think you'll love it as much we do.
The complete sequence
A real story needs the parts between the portraits.

Under the redwoods
The grove changed the ceremony light and the way guests gathered.
Deer Park Villa’s redwoods create scale and shade, but the photographs become meaningful when the people remain visible inside that environment. The ceremony, family reactions, movement between spaces, and reception show how the grove held the wedding rather than serving only as a dramatic portrait background.
Working under trees also requires attention to early darkness, mixed color, and the distance between open and covered spaces. The complete gallery keeps those changes coherent from the ceremony into dinner and celebration while preserving the atmosphere that made the venue worth choosing.
