Outdoor Winter Wedding | Annette and Joe | Angel’s Camp CA

January 23rd, 2021 was a great day for a wedding. It rained hard the night before and poured for many days after! Annette and Joe’s day was perfect as if the weather knew something special was happening on this particular Saturday.

Wedding Details

Annette and Joe really thought of their family and friends when they planned their wedding. You can see it in their announcement as well as in the different wedding details they chose.

Family and friends can send their well wishes via post card.

Got to love Annette’s red Doc Martens wedding boots!

Did you see the special message in Joe’s wedding band?

This ring box was a keepsake from Annette’s parents.

Family Portraits

We built in time to do photos with the bride and groom’s families before the ceremony. The bride and groom’s families were game with all my posing instructions. They were a pleasure to photograph!

I think of this as a mom’s dream photo on her son’s wedding day.

Cool photo of the groom, his sister and her husband – check!

The “Blow fish” pose – something I learned from the bride’s family!

Ceremony

Their ceremony was full of smiles and heart felt moments. The bride and groom included as many of their friends and family in the wedding. Check out the flower girl and how she made an entrance!

Group and Newly-Wed Portraits

I appreciate how intimate micro weddings are. I was able to take a photo of everyone at the celebration. They were a fun group to shoot!

The light was glorious for Annette and Joe’s portraits. You can just see how happy they are to be Mr. and Mrs. Dill!

Why the blanket on Annette? It was in the upper 40s (Fahrenheit) when we did their portraits. She was a trooper despite the cold!

Reception

Their reception was a homey affair. It felt like you joined a cozy family get-together with everyone just dressed up. The first dances and the bubble exit are favorites of mine!

Congratulations and best wishes Annette and Joe! Hello Mr. and Mrs. Dill!
