Katy and Chris’ wedding took place in not one, but two gorgeous back yards in Santa Paula, CA. Chris’ parents have a beautiful house surrounded by custom stonework for the landscaping, so they decided to hold their ceremony there, with the reception being held next door at a family friend’s house. We started off the day with Katy and her girls getting ready at the reception house while Chris and his guys got ready at Chris’ parents’ house. While Dusty did pics of everyone getting ready, I had a field day taking pics of all the fun little details that Katy and Chris used to decorate their ceremony and reception. I absolutely loved all the little custom signs they had everywhere, especially the white metal letters that they used to spell out their last name! I also can’t get enough of vintage books! I really love all the old patterns that they used to use inside of book covers, so I took advantage of one of those to do a really fun ring shot. The trees that were everywhere in both yards were huge and made a fantastic backdrop for the ceremony and Katy and Chris’ formal pics. Chris’ house also had a wonderful little trellised walkway with wisteria hanging down that made for such romantic pictures!
