Vizcaya Wedding Photos - Sarah Maren Photography

Sweet Emily and Steve and all their awesomeness got married last week in downtown Sacramento at the Vizcaya.  Despite the threat of rain, these two had one heck of a sunshiney day!  Surrounded by amazing family and friends, and with an incredible amount of joy these two tied the knot.  I am SO happy to have witnessed the whole glorious thing!  Emily and Steve are my kind of couple – funny, quirky, and when it comes down to the very core of their relationship they are best friends.  There is a tremendous amount of comfort in a relationship like that, and it is a glorious thing to photograph.  Check out their wedding and see just how awesome they are for yourself!

I LOVED Emily’s AMAZING hair and makeup and her super cute red shoes.  I adore it when couples let their personalities shine through on their wedding day.  It make it so fun to photograph.  After everyone was ready, we headed out to the first look and some fun photos with our bridal party and super cute couple.

Oh Emily, I adore you and your beautiful face!  These two were seriously the best to photograph.  So easy and fun and SO photogenic.  It was a hoot!  With all our couple and bridal party pictures taken care of, we tucked our couple away and got ready for the ceremony.  It was a beautiful afternoon, right on the cusp of raining, but perfect for an outdoor ceremony.  The Vizcaya turned on the twinkle lights early and I wrote their name on my heart forever.  This ceremony, whooo – I cried, the groom cried, the bride cried, there was a whole section of the guests just sniffling away – basically it was an emotional storm and I LOVED IT!

As the night wore down, the rain started to fall and I knew we needed just ONE MORE shot with our bride and groom – MAN am I happy they were SO willing to head out into the rain!

Jamiy and Jessee’s Catta Verdera Country Club Winter Wedding

Oh Jaimy and Jessee and your amazing, beautiful love!  I adore you!  I adore your family and friends! I adore your wedding!  There is something to be said for a quick engagement, and these two (and a VERY helpful Mother of the Bride) pulled off this stunner of a wedding in just 2 months!  As someone who was engaged for a insanely brief 4 months all I can say is, BRAVO!  From the moment we walked in until the moment these two drove off was bliss!  I worked with some of my favorite vendors, on a beautiful January day at this Catta Verdera Country Club winter wedding with an outrageously incredible couple. What a way to kick off 2014!  Have a peek and Jessee and Jamiy and their BIG day of love!

Once again, Shannon with Flourish knocked the wedding flowers out of the park.  Because Jaimy was finishing up at school in Southern California, Shannon hadn’t met her before the big day – she was happy to raise her hand when Shannon asked who of the lovely ladies was the bride.  Jaimy’s dress is also special because it was made by a gal who had made all her dance costumes growing up.  Oh, and Jaimy just showed her a picture of a dress and she made it WITHOUT A PATTERN!  Are you kidding me?  I can’t even sew on a button!  It was PERFECT and just right for Jaimy!

Having your wedding at a country club is nice when you’re a future professional golfer, right?  Jessee was right at home as soon as he got a golf club in his hands.  Dustin had a great time photographing the fellas as they got ready.  Word on the street was they were more nervous than the ladies.  All that nervousness dissipated though as soon as Jaimy and Jessee had their first look – it was awesome!

I LOVE Jessee’s reaction to seeing his bride for the first time!  It made me SOOOOO happy!  Seriously, I love a first look!
