after an incredibly hot weekend, susan & derron were very fortunate to have such mild weather on their wedding day in sacramento the following week. we met up with susan and her bridesmaids at her parents' home in elk grove. being the only girl of four kids and the first to be married made this day such a special one for the entire family.
their catholic ceremony was held at the cathedral of the blessed sacrament, which is such a breathtaking church and oh-so-close to the capitol building. after taking photos with the entire bridal party in the surrounding downtown area, we headed to their reception at the lionsgate hotel, where we took more photos of the beautiful newlyweds. their reception was full of plenty of laughter and joy, as the entire party enjoyed plenty of entertainment, including a lu'au style show and a lovely, memorable surprise number by the bride, for her groom.
congratulations, susan & derron! we hope you had an awesome time in italy!!!
