Mill Valley Wedding | Jessica + Emil
This novel corona virus (COVID-19) is causing a lot of waves. We’re seeing it start affecting people’s wedding days, especially since the CDC recently announced that gatherings over 50 people are not recommended. This guidance was offered literally ONE day after Jessica and Emil’s wedding- heck yes. As you’ll see in the following images, it did not stop them from throwing an epic party. They treated their guests to a long cocktail hour with a mariachi band, delicious dinner and late night tacos to keep the dancers fueled. I’ll let the photos do most of the talking but I can’t RAVE enough about their big day. Without further ado, enjoy the peak of their big day.
Getting Ready Moments
Normally, I don’t spend much time on sharing the wedding details on blogs BUT I just wanted to share a few since the floral arrangements were stunning. I also had a fav second shooter with me, hi Kylie, who’s a pro at detail shots.
Okay-back to the important stuff now. A few snaps from the ceremony are below.
That just married feeling!!
Shortly after the ceremony and family photos, we all piled into a party bus-limo , I don’t know what it’s called-a very large car, and drove to a scenic location for their bridal party and couples photos. This forest background was the original spot for the ceremony but due to the virus and weather, there were some changes. So stoked the rain held for these photos. It was too perfect.
If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your wedding dress clean on a muddy trail, below is a how-to photo for your viewing pleasure. This was one of their favorite moments too!
