Erika and Matthew’s wedding was truly one of the most fun weddings I have ever shot. It began with both Erika and Matthew getting ready at separate houses in Galt. They were both so excited about their day and having fun with their parents and bridesmaids before the big day.

The ceremony itself took place at Saint Robert’s Church in Sacramento. It was a beautiful Catholic ceremony.

Before taking off for the reception location in Dixon, Erika and Matthew wanted to take some portraits with family and their wedding party both inside the church and outside the church in down town Sacramento.

Their reception took place at Jess Jones Vineyard. It was a gorgeous location and I love taking couples portraits in the vineyards. It can really make for an iconic image.

The reception included a cultural Hawaiian dance by Matthew’s niece, some great speeches and of course the special dances between Erika and Matthew and their parents. Finally, they were joined by the rest of their guests for dancing well into the night.
