We are thrilled to show you Tessa & Micah’s California Backyard Wedding! We’ll never get tired of photographing weddings in California. The sunshine, the breeze, and those golden backyard views always give us something magical to work with. There’s an easygoing energy here, a sense of warmth and joy that makes every celebration feel effortlessly beautiful. And Micah & Tessa’s backyard wedding was exactly that kind of day, relaxed, full of laughter, and completely them.
These two actually met at a live music show, the same band, The Gold Souls, that played at their wedding! How amazing is that? From the moment we arrived, we could feel how much music, friendship, and love meant to them. We started the day capturing getting-ready moments, filled with excitement, laughter, and a few happy tears.
The ceremony took place outdoors, surrounded by trees and lush greenery. The light filtered softly through the branches as they exchanged vows, a scene that felt both intimate and cinematic. You could hear a few quiet sniffles and a whole lot of cheers when they sealed it with a kiss.
Afterward, we took the couple around the yard for portraits. The way they looked at each other made every frame come alive: easy smiles, relaxed poses, and a chemistry you can’t fake. The reception stayed outdoors, with string lights scattered above as The Gold Souls played again, this time for their friends and family. There was laughter, dancing, and that perfect mix of love and music that felt like pure California magic.
For us, this wedding was everything we love about backyard celebrations: intimate, joyful, and filled with meaning. Micah and Tessa’s day reminded us that sometimes, the most beautiful stories happen right at home, under the lights, surrounded by love.
