Why We Love Wedding Receptions So Much

I had such a fun time working with the Darling’s recently while I photographed their wedding reception. The couple had an intimate Tahoe ceremony, and then held a reception in Wine Country over the summer. This was a super fun twist on the traditional wedding and I’m here for
it.

Bearing witness to the exchanging of vows at a wedding is very special. But the party afterwards is definitely a highlight for everyone involved. The food, the dancing, the photos – this is such a joyful and fun time!

Charles and Christi had their reception at Iron and Vine on the Bennett Valley Golf Course, which is a gorgeous venue. The combination of indoor and outdoor spaces allowed guests to enjoy the late summer warmth until it was time for dinner and dancing inside.

I loved their photo wall featuring a neon sign with their last name. This is such a simple and creative way to provide a photo op for guests, because who doesn’t love a good photo booth or wall at a wedding?!
