Saratoga Springs Wedding Amongst Redwoods | Cathedral Grove

What an unforgettable day photographing Sandra and Wilson’s wedding this past weekend. Lush green florals, golden light through redwoods, speeches that made me tear up (multiple times), and a reception that turned into an all-out celebration with lasers, limbo, and laughter.

Sandra and I went to high school together, and it’s crazy to see how fast time flies. She's the kind of person who would book an Airbnb 300 miles away for no other reason just to catch up. The kind of person who would invite you over for a casual dinner, then make a multi-course meal worthy of a Michelin star. The kind who knows the meaning of loss at such a young age, but has the capacity to hold love and be there for those who have lost as well.  Not only is she smart, ambitious (and impeccable at hosting and event planning), but she also has a heart of gold. Anyone would be lucky to know such an incredible woman. 

When I first met Wilson, it was during our consultation meeting, and it was so easy to tell that he was perfect for Sandra. Witty but down to earth. Cheerful but steadfast. And someone who matches Sandra’s kindness and generosity, whether it’s ALSO hosting Michelin star dinners, patiently teaching a friend to drive cross-country, or helping a friend’s anxious dog learn to trust again. When they talked about their future together, the vision was so clear.

Congratulations Sandra and Wilson! Thank you for including us in your magic. You two have the kind of love you can feel in your bones, and I’m so happy you both found each other in this wild and wonderful universe. ✨

xoxo,

Audey
