Jen & Ryan | Santa Maria Gazebo & Barn Wedding
Jen and Ryan were married in Santa Maria on a clear November day, under a white gazebo wrapped in roses and greenery. The bridesmaids wore blush and mauve and the guys wore tan suits.
A Day Surrounded by Family
The morning was all family: getting ready at home, Ryan's suit hanging by the window, and a small memorial photo charm on the bouquet so someone special could be part of the day. The ceremony was full of hugs, happy tears and a flower girl who took her job very seriously.
Golden Hour Under the Oaks
Late in the afternoon we walked out to a field of old oaks for bridal party and couple portraits. November light on the Central Coast is low, warm and soft.
Mariachi in the Barn
The reception was in a big open barn. Mariachi played as guests came in, and there was a flower wall behind the sweetheart table, colorful Mexican candy, a naked cake and parent dances that had everyone reaching for tissues. Sparklers closed out the night.
