The story
the couple’s backyard wedding at the Guerneville Lodge , struck a perfect balance between a rustic outdoor setting and classic vintage glamour. Inspired by their love of Northern California, they arrived at the wedding location by rowboat as an old-time jazz band serenaded the guests. The color palette itself was inspired by one partner’s vintage pale pink and silver cocktail dress, the only dress she tried on, which she discovered at a costume store in New Orleans. The party ended with everyone parading down the block to Jerry Knight’s Historic River Theater. We enjoyed every moment and did our best to capture all of the fun and beauty throughout the day.
