Something that’s music to our photographer ears is when a couple tells us that they trust us. As we presented the idea of having all seven of Claire’s bridesmaids pile into the bathtub in her suite for their Doyle Hotel wedding, that was exactly what Claire told us! With the confidence that Claire eternally exuded, and the willingness of her bridesmaids, we managed to fit everyone in! It was an auspicious start to their wedding day that began at the Doyle Hotel and continued at King Family Vineyards! Throughout the day, we were blown away time and time again by Claire and Jake. With their timeless elegance and laid-back attitudes, their day was a blast from the bathtub all the way to their bustlin’ dance floor!

There were several things that really stuck out to us during their reception. When it came time for the bouquet toss, Claire did something truly sweet. She dedicated her bouquet to her mom, Karen. It came as no surprise to us, as Karen was the MVP for their wedding day! She anticipated needs all day, and as Claire dedicated her bouquet, we learned that she was just helpful throughout the entire wedding planning process. This was a beautiful look into their mother-daughter relationship. On the flip side was Jake’s musical side. He took turns at both the microphone AND the drums during their reception! With mic in hand, he did not miss the opportunity to serenade his gorgeous wife!

Claire and Jake,

We have loved getting to know you both! You guys have been such fun to work with, and we hope that these images bless you and your family for years and years to come! Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s ever anything else we can do for you two.

With love,
Sarah and Hunter
