Stay Home, Get Married

Kyle and Sabre live with their family on a beautiful piece of land in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. What better placed to get married than in their own backyard? A backyard wedding is perfect, especially when your backyard looks like this.

Dee and Kris have known Kyle for a lifetime. Kris used to babysit Kyle and his brother BJ. So fun to get to photograph such a big day too.

Sabre wore a beautiful lace and tulle dress with a bustier bodice.

Sabre’s Mom and bridal party see her in her dress for the first time and the tears start flowing.

Wanderlust Beauty did a wonderful job on Sabre’s make-up for her day.

Sabre selected these beautiful handmade flowers that she found on Etsy and painted them herself.

Kyle and his groomsmen definitely put the “party” in wedding party.

The groom’s party decked out in earth-tone vests with dark jeans in a cool “down home” look and nature as the backdrop of this backyard wedding.

Kyle’s brother, BJ, stood as his best man.

The bridesmaids handed Kyle a gift that Sabre made for him; an album of gorgeous boudoir portraits of his lovely bride.

Gianna Zydonis with Wild and Lovely Events transformed their land into the backyard wedding venue of their dreams. The haybale seating and the wood accents were the prefect mix of rustic and chic.

The couple chopped their own wood for this aisle separator. Children ran throughout the yard dressed in their cowboy hats and boots. The feel of the day; laid back and fun.

Get Married! Have Fun!

Even though the sky was smoky from the wildfires, the day was beautiful and it was finally happening.

Kyle was so emotional seeing Sabre walking toward him down the aisle. This was the moment they wanted when they chose not to do a modern first look and do a more traditional look across the aisle.

Their flower girl was kept happy with endless lollipops. The ring bearer, did a great job keeping the rings safe until he handed them to his dad.

Formal portraits are very informal with this group!

Have fun! Get Toasted!

Family and friends offer a toast to the bride and groom!

The couple’s family friend made their beautiful wedding cake.

The infamous Dee and Kris group photos are a signature of the group. They always range from silly to sweet to just plain crazy, but they are always fun!

Love Hard. Dance Often

Kyle and Sabre share their first dance as husband and wife.

Then they twirl around the dance floor with their parents.

Now EVERYBODY DANCE!!!

Congratulations, Sabre and Kyle!
