The magic began before the ceremony itself. On Friday night, friends and family gathered for a lively welcome party. This gives everyone a chance to connect before the main event. This wasn’t just a pre-wedding gathering—it was a celebration in its own right. With an all white attire, heartfelt toasts, and the buzz of anticipation, it set the tone for everything that followed.
By Saturday, excitement filled the air at the Barns of Cooper Molera. Having a full team on-site allowed us to capture every angle of the day, in both digital and film. The couple prioritized guest experience and it showed. Guests arrived to personalized letters, enjoyed live string and saxophone performances, and were wowed by a close-up magician. Dinner was more than a meal—it was an immersive experience. Chefs prepared stuffed pasta with different sauces. Showing off grilled fresh local vegetables right in front of guests, filling the air with warm, familiar scents.
Throughout it all, Sarah and Tyler never left each other’s side. Their connection was palpable. The way they laughed during their portraits. How they held hands while walking through the crowd of their closest people. They ended the night with a glamorous cold sparkler exit. A perfect sendoff after a weekend full of love, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
If you’re dreaming of a destination wedding weekend in the bay- or that just feels like a celebration from start to finish, let’s talk. Full-day and multi-day wedding coverage means you can fully experience the moment—while we document every one of them.
