Olive trees, rose gardens and rolling golden hills made our trip to The Purple Orchid Wine Country Resort and Spa feel like a mini vacation. As San Francisco wedding photographers, we love heading east to Livermore Valley wine country. The resort sits on twenty one acres of olive orchards, with vineyards all around. Mornings are cool and misty, and evenings glow with California sunsets. It is calm, rustic and beautiful.

The Purple Orchid is a charming, family run resort with ten rooms and suites. Guests can relax by the pool, book a treatment at the spa or gather for the evening wine and olive oil hour. Over fifty wineries are just a few miles away, so there is plenty to explore. Because overnight stays are part of every wedding here, the celebration often turns into a whole weekend with loved ones.

The grounds give couples so many lovely spots. Ceremonies can take place in front of the lush rose garden or with the olive orchard and sunset as the backdrop. Cocktail hour by the rock waterfall feels like a little escape. Later, guests move into the banquet hall for dinner and dancing. With indoor and outdoor spaces close together, the whole day flows easily from one moment to the next.

Savannah and Lucas’s Whimsical Wine Country Wedding

Savannah and Lucas wanted their wedding to feel whimsical and fun, and this setting was a perfect match. Their colors were purple, pink, blue, green and plum, a bright and playful mix. Those shades look so pretty against green olive trees and blooming roses. It was a celebration full of joy and personality. We loved seeing how their style came to life in such a peaceful place.

Their photos were edited in our Airy style, which keeps colors soft and full of light. It is a great choice for an outdoor wine country wedding with lots of natural sunshine. Whimsical weddings are some of our favorites to capture, because there is always something fun happening. Every bright color, sweet detail and happy moment tells part of the story.

Our studio is based in San Francisco, and we photograph and film weddings across the entire state of California. Livermore and the Tri Valley are easy trips for our team. A good wedding photographer helps you relax, so your personalities shine through in every photo. That is the goal we bring to each wedding. If you want to see more wine country celebrations, you can find plenty on our blog.

Original Weddings is a team of San Francisco wedding photographers who love natural light and real emotion. We look for the moments that make your day special, like a burst of laughter or a quiet hug with a parent. Our photographers give simple direction when it helps, then let the day unfold on its own. We plan the timeline with you ahead of time, so we can catch the best light for outdoor photos. Families, little details and candid moments all get careful attention from our team. We want your gallery to tell the full story of the day, not just a handful of posed pictures.

Our team is based in San Francisco, and we travel all over Northern California for weddings. We often photograph celebrations in Livermore, Pleasanton, Oakland, San Jose and Napa. Every couple gets photographers who arrive early, stay calm and bring a cheerful energy. We work easily with planners, caterers and resort staff to keep everything running smoothly. After the wedding, you receive a gallery edited in the style you chose. Our goal is to give you photos that feel bright, joyful and just like you. Our photographers are comfortable in every kind of light and weather. Bright sun, cloudy skies or a soft evening glow, we know how to make each one look beautiful in your photos.

San Francisco Wedding Videographers at Purple Orchid

Original Weddings also has a team of San Francisco wedding videographers who capture the sound and motion of your celebration. Your vows, the toasts and the music on the dance floor all come back to life on film. Our videographers move quietly and stay out of the way, so guests feel relaxed and the moments stay real. Small sounds, like a laugh during the vows or cheers after the first kiss, often become the moments couples love most.

We film weddings across California, from San Francisco to Livermore, Napa and Monterey. Each film is edited with care, set to music and shaped into a story that feels personal. Many couples say their wedding film is the keepsake they watch most often. Having one team for photos and video also keeps planning simple and connected. Whether you want a short highlight film or a longer edit, we help you choose the option that fits your day best.
