Ava & Trey’s wedding in Sebastopol was the kind of fall celebration that reminds you weather isn’t something to fear - it’s something to embrace. When rain rolled in during cocktail hour, the energy didn’t falter. Guests gathered under porches and overhangs, laughing and clinking glasses while the storm passed through. The atmosphere became softer, more intimate, almost cinematic in the way the gray sky wrapped around the property.
Their ceremony felt deeply personal, set against the natural beauty of Northern California in autumn. The private estate setting made everything feel intentional and close-knit - family-style warmth layered with refined details. The rain added movement and texture to the day, giving their portraits a moody, romantic quality that couldn’t have been replicated with sunshine.
This Sebastopol wedding was proof that the most memorable celebrations aren’t about perfection - they’re about presence, emotion, and leaning into whatever the day brings.
