Rustic Charm and Timeless Moments | Documentary- Wedding in Angwin, CA | Sacramento & Bay Area Wedding Photographer


Nestled on a private family property in Angwin, California, this rustic wedding was a celebration filled with natural beauty, intimate moments, and a sense of timelessness. Surrounded by towering trees, rustic decor, and the warm glow of California sunlight, every detail came together to create a day that felt both elegant and down-to-earth. From the early morning preparations to the late-night dancing under the stars, this wedding was an unforgettable reflection of the couple’s unique love story.


With a documentary-style approach, I focused on capturing each unscripted moment—the quiet anticipation, the joyful laughter, and the genuine interactions that unfolded throughout the day. The family’s property provided a beautiful and meaningful backdrop for candid shots, from the bride’s serene moments getting ready to the couple’s heartfelt vows surrounded by close friends and family. Every frame tells a part of their story, from the small details like vintage decor and rustic florals to the moments shared on the dance floor.
