Saratoga Springs Wedding

This romantic Saratoga Springs wedding day for Julianna and Ryan was seriously one of the most magical fall days. Tucked beneath the towering redwoods in the Santa Cruz Mountains, these college sweethearts celebrated an intimate morning wedding day with their favorite humans. Their day was a beautiful mix of quiet and intentional, yet filled with so much joy and love and lots of singing of the Wicked soundtrack. These two really wanted their mountain wedding day to feel warm, personal and true to them. They began their day with a private first look and private vows in the middle of the redwood forest. They opted for a smaller guest list which allowed for more relaxed and intentional moments with each of their guests. Each guest got to participate the Irish tradition of the ring warming, where this invites your loved ones to warm your weddings rings with blessings and well wishes for your future together. The couple also was able to write hand written letters to each guest, which was felt so meaningful to each person. They even got to use Ryan's parents cake topper for their wedding cake - what a special heirloom to have on your wedding day. Julianna got to channel her inner musical theater kid and dance her heart away the rest of the afternoon. We then all headed to top-golf and watched the sun set over the bay!

From the lush all-white floral design, Julianna's ethereal lace wedding dress to Ryan’s modern green suit, every element of this Saratoga Springs wedding reflected the couple’s effortless and romantic aesthetic.
