California Backyard Wedding // Jacqueline & Jake

There’s something truly magical about a California backyard wedding. The soft breeze, the familiar landscape, and the closeness of loved ones create a setting that feels both romantic and authentic. It’s where laughter echoes across open spaces, and every corner tells a story of love and connection. With twinkling lights above and heartfelt vows shared below, a backyard wedding transforms an ordinary space into an unforgettable celebration of togetherness and joy.

Jacqueline and Jake’s story is one of those that feels meant to be. They first met back in 2021 through mutual friends, Hannah and Wade, who just happen to be Jake’s brother and sister-in-law. After that first introduction, they didn’t reconnect until August 2023 when Jake followed Jacqueline on Instagram. A few months later, they went on their first date, and by March 2025, Jake proposed under the night sky in Joshua Tree. Their story is romantic and grounded, much like the life they’re building together. They both love spending time with Jacqueline’s two children, being with family, hiking, and going to motorcycle events. It’s easy to see how their love story reflects adventure, warmth, and joy.

Their outdoor ceremony reflected their style perfectly country yet rustic and elegant. The color palette of pale pinks, whites, cinnamon, and natural wood tones gave everything a soft and earthy touch. We love photographing weddings like this because the mix of natural textures and gentle colors makes every photo glow. Backyard celebrations have such an intimate feel, and the natural light adds that magic touch every couple dreams about.
