Valerie and Louie's wedding day was a lovely mix of contemporary and Western themes, taking place at Sandy Valley Ranch in California, near the Nevada border. The day started with Valerie and her bridal party getting ready at her family's home on Sandy Valley Ranch. The ranch is dear to Valerie's heart, as she spent many summers there growing up.

 

Lovely desert views accompanied the whole day and into the night. The highlight of my day as photographer was capturing Valerie in her full wedding dress riding the horse that she eventually rode across the ranch and right up to the ceremony aisle!

​

Their reception took place in Sandy Valley Ranch's Ranch House, a spacious event room decorated in Western style. Louie, Valerie, and their friends and family danced the night away. It may have been cold outside, but in the Ranch House you couldn't help but feel the warmth and love that radiated from the newlyweds. Congratulations to Valerie and Louie!
