I’ve photographed a few Los Altos History Museum wedding’s now, and they are always such fun and gorgeous weddings! This is the first time I’ve ventured into the orchard that is right next door though, and I’m so happy we stepped away for some portraits after the ceremony. Is this location gorgeous or what?!

I started the day with the bride and her hilarious bridesmaids. There were lots of laughs and champagne to be had before heading over to the venue. This couple decided to skip the first look and do all of the portraits during the cocktail hour, so the first time they saw each other was as she was walking down the aisle towards him. The look on his face was so priceless! The groom doesn’t exactly wear his heart on his sleeve, so to see him tear up was such a sweet sight! Maybe this is weird, but I kind of love when the couple cries during the ceremony! It’s such a huge moment, and it’s nice to see that the couple is really present in the significance of what is about to happen, and letting themselves feel that emotion! It’s easy to get so wrapped up in the wedding and planning out all the details that you forget how your lives are about to change in an amazing way, forever! This couple was so sweet in this moment and I smile whenever I look at the photos.

The rest of the day was spent tagging along with the couple as they toasted with friends and family, danced, ate cake! Congrats to a sweet couple, your wedding was a blast!
