These are BEAUTIFUL! Do you regret only getting a photographer for a few hours? I’m about to sign a contract for an a la carte thing that you did. One photographer for 6 hours for 1500.. That’s cheap for my area but I LOVE her work. Did you miss having the second shooter? Was your photographer there for the ceremony as well?

runsauce : omg yes! Venue twin! That place is so magical I fell in love with it right away. Are you having your reception there too? You must come share your photos when it’s done. Also if you have any questions please ask, I feel like I have all this knowledge now that hopefully I’ll never need again lol
soontobee1109 : so we had two photographers for three hours and it was 1000$. Getting the second shooter was key cuz we had such a short time. I had them from 2-5 with the ceremony 3-3:30. It worked out for us because my sister in law does amateur photography and took shots of getting ready, cake cutting and the dances plus uncle in law did videographery for us as a surprise,. Honestly the guest shots weee awsoem too so it worked out for us

bri00012 : SAME! I walked through the gate and was speechless. That almost NEVER happens to me! We’re having our reception in SF (yeah, I know…traffic. I’ve already warned everyone to pack car snacks) bc the rooms available in the garden can’t accomodate the amount of guests and we also wanted a location that was primarily outdoors with the possibility of food trucks.
Thanks for the offer…I actually think I’ll take you up on it soon. Specifically about shuttling from the upper lot down the hill and maybe about pre ceremony access. How soon you arrived, etc. I’ll probably send you a private message if that’s ok. Wait, can you even do that through ‘bee? lol

bri00012 : Well, it downpoured on my wedding day. Boo! However, it stopped raining right when my photographer was about to take some shots of me and my husband(!!!!). We didn’t get to go back into the wooded area to get shots with the trees and the creek like I wanted to, but that’s okay. Here are some of the sneak peeks where you can see the wooded area behind us:




And our favorite one:
