Yeajee and Michael planned an East Bay wedding at Redwood Canyon with a late-afternoon garden ceremony, cocktails and dinner close by, a brief golden-hour portrait break, and an evening of toasts, cake, and dancing.
A five o'clock ceremony among the trees
Guests arrived at 4:30 and the ceremony began at 5:00. The surrounding greenery gave the ceremony and family photographs a consistent setting without moving the group around the golf course.
Cocktails and reception without a long transition
Cocktails began immediately after the ceremony and the reception followed at 6:30. Keeping each part nearby made the timing straightforward for guests and protected the dinner schedule.
Golden-hour portraits before the evening party
Yeajee and Michael stepped away around 7:45 for a short set of portraits in the last light. They returned for cake, toasts, and dancing, with photography wrapping at 9:00.
