ceremony | Caitlin Childs Photography https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com Sat, 24 Oct 2015 06:22:30 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.2 69880796 Katrina and Hunter’s Russian River Wedding https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/weddings/katrina-and-hunters-russian-river-wedding/ https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/weddings/katrina-and-hunters-russian-river-wedding/#respond Sat, 24 Oct 2015 05:52:53 +0000 http://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/?p=711 After doing their engagement portraits, I was so excited to get the chance to photograph Katrina and Hunter’s wedding this month. It was a lovely ceremony at the Rio Villa Beach Resort, with catering by Ultra Crepes and the most beautiful flowers and decor put together by friends of Katrina’s.

Katrina wore cowboy boots under her gorgeous dress, and had these amazing tiny pearls in her hair. The ceremony was held in the afternoon, with sun shining over the Russian River below us. From there, the evening was full of dinner and dancing on an outdoor patio. Right after the ceremony, Katrina and Hunter shared glasses of bourbon and noshed on a charcuterie board, while spending a few quiet moments together. Later on, they shared bourbon flavored cupcakes, made by Cupcravery, before dancing long into the night.

The entire day was so filled with joy and laughter, I’m honored to have taken part in it!

Rigel and Stephanie’s Penngrove Wedding https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/weddings/rigel-and-stephanies-penngrove-wedding/ https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/weddings/rigel-and-stephanies-penngrove-wedding/#respond Wed, 24 Jun 2015 05:57:17 +0000 http://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/?p=737 Rigel and Stephanie are two of my dearest friends, so it was a true pleasure to be their wedding photographer this spring. Both Rigel and Stephanie have a tight-knit circle of friends, so we started the day getting ready together at their Sebastopol home, before heading out to Crane Creek Regional Park for a portrait shoot.

Their wedding was held at a lovely private home owned by family friends, with catering from a local paella vendor, and for dessert, a gorgeous tower of croquembouche, harkening back to Stephanie’s French roots. Her grandmother flew in from France, and stole the show with a speech about the love their family shares, and how happy they were to be celebrating this occasion together.

Brooke and Bill’s Sebastopol Wedding https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/weddings/brooke-and-bills-sebastopol-wedding/ https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/weddings/brooke-and-bills-sebastopol-wedding/#respond Mon, 16 Sep 2013 03:12:00 +0000 http://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/?p=557 The theme for Brooke and Bill’s wedding was laid-back fun. This low-key couple featured fresh cut flowers in mason jars and colorful bottles, paper lanterns, hay bale seating and lawn games at their Sebastopol wedding venue. When I first met with them, Brooke said she really wanted everything to be simple, and their focus was on creating the best, most fun day for their friends and family. Bill was excited about the lawn games, and was looking forward to having their college friends in town for the event.

With a shortage of parking at their venue, Twin Hill Farms in Sebastopol, they hired a yellow school bus to ferry folks in from town. They also had a kids entertainment station with colored pencils and the cutest coloring book style images of themselves! The apple farm was the perfect venue for their wedding, and it was a joy to work with Brooke and Bill.

Jacques and Maya’s San Francisco Wedding https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/weddings/jacques-and-mayas-san-francisco-wedding/ https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/weddings/jacques-and-mayas-san-francisco-wedding/#respond Wed, 19 Jun 2013 02:46:01 +0000 http://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/?p=537 The first wedding I ever shot was at San Francisco City Hall, and it’s always a joy to go back. The venue is just beautiful – I can hardly imagine a better indoor wedding location. Jacques and Maya’s wedding was especially meaningful because Jacques’ family came all the way from the Democratic Republic of Congo – a trip they are not often able to make. They also included their son in the ceremony, and he LOVED getting to sign the paperwork :)

Scott + Spencer’s Santa Rosa Wedding https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/weddings/scott-spencers-santa-rosa-wedding/ https://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/weddings/scott-spencers-santa-rosa-wedding/#respond Tue, 10 Apr 2012 17:12:48 +0000 http://www.caitlinchildsphoto.com/?p=391 Spencer and Scott were married in a wonderfully fun ceremony at the DeTurk Round Barn in Santa Rosa this March. Scott and Spencer are a great match for one another, and their wedding had a ton of style: from the Star Wards references in the ceremony and the catwoman and batman lego cake toppers, to Spencer’s air plant bouquet and her handmade purple and lace sash.

I had a lot of fun shooting their wedding photos and am so happy that they loved them, too.

They are a fantastic couple, and their wedding was as unique and beautiful as they are. The flowers and decorations, by Jessica Hole at plant-matter were gorgeous and I loved the fresh, bright color palette Allie chose for the wedding. I learned that it is a tradition in Allie’s family to have a pinata at family get togethers, and it was charming to see the bride and groom take the first few swings at their custom wedding cake pinata.
