With the San Francisco Giants in the World Series, it seems all too fitting to share this post because, you see, the Giants are, in large part, the reason Chris and Witney fell in love!
It all started one night when they were out with friends at a local restaurant, she with her girlfriends, and he with his buddies. He noticed Witney and her long,blonde hair sitting at the table next to his, and took particular note of the SF Giants t-shirt she wore, sporting the colors of his beloved team. Needless to say, he was a fan, even before they spoke. Witney was on his team.
Seven years later, at a San Francisco Giants game, Chris got down on one knee and proposed to Witney. The following spring, surrounded by their dearest fans, Chris and Witney made their love official at the beautiful Vista Ranch and Cellars. Chris and Witney, words can’t begin to describe how truly honored I am to have captured your wedding day, and love. You truly are each other’s teammates in life, and I am thrilled to have captured your beautiful love.

The day started at the gorgeous bridal suite at the Vista Ranch and Cellars, a perfect setting for capturing all the details of the day! One of my favorite bouquet images above, with the AH-mazing floral arrangement by Laurie Soares of Posh Princess Couture – all hand-made out of cloth!!!
Witney’s J. Crew Wedding Gown was simply stunning-love!
The beautiful bride getting the final touches from the amazing and talented Leigh Anna Gibbs!
Witney, you made a seriously gorgeous bride!!!
So gorgeous!
Sisters!
Isn’t her ring gorgeous?!
One of my favorite things of photographing a wedding is the details, down to the playlist of the day. So fun to think about looking at this years from now and knowing what tunes you were listening to while getting ready to walk down the aisle!
The first look! I adore this of the groom seeing his bride for the first time!
Now THAT is one happy groom! Love!!!
Chris and Witney opted to see each other before the ceremony which provided some extra time for portraits around the beautiful grounds of the Vista Ranch and Cellars!
One of my favorites from the day!
After a few portraits, we headed to the ceremony location where guests were seated and enjoyed beautiful music by a harpist!
The new Mr. and Mrs.!!!!
Love this one of them stealing a quick kiss after the ceremony!
Chris and Witney had personal details interwoven throughout the day. Their custom home plate was one of my favorites!
Witney being welcomed officially to Team Patrick – love this!
The reception was gorgeous! All the flowers and decor were handmade by Cyndi Ray, Tory Ray, Randi + Mike Gibson, Pam + Greg Small, and Bonnie Richards. What an amazing team!!!
Just as the sun was setting, I was able to sneak Chris and Witney away for a few more portraits and I am so glad I did!!! Oh my goodness, love this one of them in the sea of sunflowers!!
Guests enjoyed a dessert bar of cupcakes + cookies created by Cookie Couture of Fresno – deeeelish!
The fist dance as husband and wife…
Congratulations Chris and Witney on getting married!!! I am so SO so happy for you two! You were just made for each other and I’m so excited for you two as you start life as husband and wife!!!
