Connie + Jesse's Rip-Roaring Country Wedding // Modesto Gun Club // Livingston, CA

January 22, 2019 Justin Souza
country wedding modesto

I doubt we’ve ever shot a wedding with a dance floor as rowdy as Connie and Jesse’s country wedding in Livingston! The vibe of the Modesto Gun Club wedding venue was perfect for this cowboy-boot-and-jeans event, from the cabins the wedding parties got ready in to the grassy ceremony site to the taxidermied animals. There’s no doubt about it: this day was just ridiculously fun to shoot. It was a wedding photojournalist photographer’s dream - from the moment everyone piled into the pickup of a truck to take portraits to the bonfire at the end, we knew we were part of something special. There were endless emotional and hilarious candid moments to document.

Geneva + Nicholas' Geektastic Barn Wedding // Crawford's Barn // Sacramento, CA

June 20, 2018 Justin Souza
nerd wedding sacramento

As completely unabashed nerds ourselves (I mean, we named our children after characters from The Princess Bride and Doctor Who), I say this with all affection and authority: Geneva and Nicholas’ wedding was geek paradise. There were board games, word games, a Super Nintendo, a photobooth where guests could dress up like the Mario Brothers. We even spotted a photo of the bride and groom in Mario and Luigi cosplay! And through the whole wedding, Geneva, Nicholas and their guests exhibited this unabashed sense of play, which is really the hallmark of the true nerd. It also makes for a rockin’ party.

Kelsey + Chris's Sweet and Sunny Summer Wedding // Lehman Barn // Shingle Springs, CA

March 8, 2018 Justin Souza
lehman barn wedding

It was such a treat to revisit one of our favorite venues – the Lehman Barn at Varozza Ranch – with a couple as laid back and in love as Kelsey and Chris. Their wedding was this great mix of classic and boho wedding details: Kelsey wore the sort of pearl earrings you’d see on a black-tie bride, but with flowers in her hair. The reception was held in a barn, but with twinkle lights and centerpieces arranged in repurposed antique silver. It was fancy but not formal, which created a relaxed vibe that made it a dream for everyone there, including us.

Jamie + Jason's Rain-Speckled Hurst Ranch Wedding // Jamestown, CA

January 17, 2018 Justin Souza
hurst ranch wedding jamestown

I know you’re not supposed to want rain on a wedding day, but we can’t help it. Every rainy wedding we’ve shot has been magical and Jamie + Jason’s was no exception. The umbrellas, the rain-speckled suits, the way the warmth of the indoor reception contrasted against the cold, wet outdoors - it was perfection. If we had to describe this wedding day in one word, that word would be cozy.

Ashley + Sean's Blustery, Geeky Fairytale Wedding // Galas Barn // Oakdale, CA

April 4, 2017 Justin Souza
luxury wedding photographer modesto

As Justin mentioned in our previous blog post, nerds are our people. And Ashley and Sean aren't just nerds - they're hardcore nerds. In notes they exchanged/read to each other before their ceremony, they talked about being in band class together. There were Star Wars references throughout the day, superhero nods (Batman socks for the groom and groomsmen, a Batman garter for the bride), more Disney allusions than I probably even realized (the big ones being the Minnie Mouse slippers Ashley wore while getting ready and the fact that she walked down the aisle to a song from Beauty and the Beast) and, of course, Harry Potter themed flannels for the bridesmaids that said "I Solemnly Swear I Am Up to No Good" on the back. They were even in the bridesmaids' Hogwarts House colors. All of this is just to say: Ashley and Sean take their geekdom seriously. And we seriously love them for it.
