Backyard California Summer Wedding

Romantic Backyard Wedding in Alamo, CA

The Perfect Setting for Crystal and Adam’s Backyard Wedding in Alamo

Some weddings feel like they’re straight out of a dream, and Crystal and Adam’s romantic backyard wedding in Alamo, CA, was exactly that. This beautiful home provided the most breathtaking backdrop for their wedding, creating an intimate yet grand setting for their special day. Set against the breathtaking Diablo Foothills, their wedding was a perfect blend of elegance, intimacy and pure joy. From the heartfelt ceremony to their epic sparkler send-off, every moment of the day was filled with love and celebration! Fabiola from @sweet_touch_events executed every detail flawlessly, thanks to the expert planning and coordination!

Crystal and her bridesmaids started the morning in a gorgeous bedroom and master bathroom, where the natural light streamed in throught french windows, highlighting every beautiful detail. The standalone bathtub was stunning and knew I had to capture her heels on it! 🙂 Meanwhile, Adam and his groomsmen enjoyed a relaxed start to the day downstairs, sharing laughs and excitement as they prepped for the big moment!

Their ceremony was truly something special. With the rolling Diablo Foothills as their backdrop, Crystal walked down the aisle with her father, bringing tears to the eyes of many (including me!). The flower girls were the absolute sweetest, adding an extra touch of charm to an already heartfelt moment.

The reception space was a dream – long tables adorned with stunning, colorful floral centerpieces and twinkling string lights creating a warm, inviting ambiance. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, making the space feel both intimate and luxurious. Heartfelt toasts filled the evening air with laughter and happy tears, leading perfectly into Crystal and Adam’s first dance as the sun dipped behind the hills. It was such a romantic moment that had everyone in awe!

Once the dance floor opened, the energy was electric. DJ @djstallionentertainment kept the party going all night, and not a single guest could resist the pull of the music! The celebration reached its peak as friends and family surrounded the couple with sparklers, cheering them on as they made their grand exit into the night – heading toward their next adventure as husband and wife!

And if the wedding wasn’t already filled with enough love and excitement, Crystal and Adam have even more reason to celebrate—a baby boy is on the way! 🥹 Their family is growing and it’s so beautiful to see their love story continue in such a special way.

Crystal and Adam, thank you for allowing me to capture such a magical day. Wishing you both (and your growing family!) endless love and happiness! 💕

BROWSE THROUGH MY

If you are seeking artful nostalgic documentary style imagery inspired by connection. I photograph your day as it naturally unfolds, focusing on real moments and creating timeless, artistic images. Rather than directing or staging, I prefer to observe and capture events as they happen. Building a personal connection with you and your wedding is key to bringing out my best work. My style is shaped by you, your story, and the energy we share. I strive to create memories, not just pretty pictures, by capturing both posed and candid moments in their truest form. It's those small, meaningful moments that will stay with you forever, and the value of your photographs will only grow with time. These images will be passed down through generations. The packages I offer can be customized to fit your vision, as I understand that every wedding is unique. That's what I love about weddings—their individuality and the way they’re extraordinary for each couple.

"Katherine was amazing! She coordinated with my finance and family for months planning the perfect Tahoe proposal followed by engagement photos. The entire session I felt so comfortable! We laughed, got a little misty, and took some amazing photos. Katherine helps pose you, knows the best areas to get beautiful backdrops, and is genuinely just a nice easy going person! I would 1000% times over use her for photos in the Reno-Tahoe area and anywhere she would be willing to photograph!"

Aura captured the wonders of our day. Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the.
