Chante + Christian's Rockin' Victorian Mansion Wedding // McHenry Mansion // Modesto, CA

September 12, 2019 Justin Souza
McHenry Mansion Wedding - Modesto Wedding Photographers - Photos Just So

If I accomplished anything with these wedding photos, I hope I accomplished capturing just how much fun Chante + Christian have together. The day, from start to finish, was filled with Chante’s throwing-her-head-back laughter. Everyone there had an ease with each other that made the day such a joy to shoot.

That said, I also hope that I accomplished capturing how cool and absolutely bananas the inside of the McHenry Mansion is. It’s a gem of a building right here in downtown Modesto and it’s filled with so many strange and wonderful relics of the past - please note of the porcelain doll collection - that I was unabashedly excited to get to explore it fully. It’s really perfect for a fall wedding. Both because of the outdoor location and the haunted Victorian mansion vibes.

Olive + Jade's Whimsical Floral Wedding // Polestar Farm // Esparto, CA
Olive + Jade's Whimsical Floral Wedding // Polestar Farm // Esparto, CA

It’s been ten years since gay marriage was legalized in this country, which simultaneously feels like a long and frighteningly small amount of time. I would never define Olive and Jade by their genders or sexualities but it also feels important to say that non-binary and trans people will always be safe with us (I wouldn’t have mentioned gender at all if I hadn’t run it by these two first). Dana and I operate a very queer, very neurodiverse household so it’s probably no surprise that those are the clients and families we work with the most. Things can feel dark right now and maybe you need the pick-me-up of a colorful DIY wedding by an incredible floral artist and their cool as hell musician bride? It can’t hurt, anyway.

Ten years of shooting unabashed LGBTQ+ joy! What a privilege.

Melissa + Andrew's Boho Yosemite Wedding // Rush Creek Lodge // Groveland, CA
Melissa + Andrew's Boho Yosemite Wedding // Rush Creek Lodge // Groveland, CA

THE BEST-LAID PLANS

About 25 miles from Yosemite Valley Chapel (where Andrew’s parents were married decades before), Rush Creek Lodge and Spa in Groveland would be a great jumping-off point for a Yosemite park wedding and a family-friendly hotel reception. Unfortunately, the roads into Yosemite sustained storm damage and at the last minute, Rush Creek Lodge became the location for Melissa and Andrew’s getting-ready, ceremony AND reception. It was impressive to see how both the lodge and the couple pivoted last-minute to put on a beautiful ceremony on the Rush Creek site itself, which was a short walk/golf cart ride up a trail into a secluded forest area. It may not have been the exact day they dreamed up, but you’d never know it was Plan B. I don’t want to get into too many details about the wedding day because that’s Melissa and Andrew’s private adventure, but I will say that I’m very thankful to have been able to document a small part of their love story.

Michelle + David's Enchanted Forest Adventure Elopement // Purisima Creek Redwoods // Half Moon Bay, CA
Michelle + David's Enchanted Forest Adventure Elopement // Purisima Creek Redwoods // Half Moon Bay, CA

What is an adventure elopement?

Unlike a City Hall wedding, an adventure elopement is usually outdoors - getting to the location where you’ll say your vows is an integral part of the experience! It doesn’t always have to be a serious trek, though. David and Michelle opted to get married in the Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve and I would estimate we only hiked 10 or so minutes from the trailhead, though it took 20 or 30 minutes of driving straight into the forest from Half Moon Bay to get to the trailhead in the first place.
