robin & david, who currently live in the windy city of chicago, grew up in two different parts of the world. she's a norcal girl from sacramento and he's from montreal. this wedding was a blend of their jewish & french-canadian backgrounds, celebrated with an outdoor ceremony at mckinley park's rose garden. despite different upbringings, it seems they are both surrounded by such creative loving people, who added such special touches to their wedding day.
it was a gorgeous saturday afternoon when we met up with the guys who were preparing for the day at the hyatt in downtown sacramento. while we photographed their details, we found out that one of the groomsmen had actually designed and forged the ring himself. awesome! we also had a chance to photograph robin and the ladies getting ready in the house she grew up in, which is just down the street from the rose garden. their beautiful ceremony was followed by their reception at scribner bend winery, which is situated right by the delta, in a very secluded area of sacramento. we love afternoon receptions that end in the evening, since the ambient colors change through sunset, making for beautiful images.
congratulations, robin & david! we hope you and your guests enjoyed their trip to california!
