Rachel and Randy were married on June 11 at the GORGEOUS Mackenzie Creek Private Estate in Scotts Valley (one of my most favorite places to shoot, ever!). Mackenzie Creek is modeled after the summer house of Winston Churchill. I loved all of the gardens and the outdoor wood fire oven. Rachel looked stunning in her Allure gown, and I loved her silver glitter flats! This wedding was lots of fun to shoot (check out the tilt-shift shots Cheryl took below)! Cheryl and I enjoyed photographing the energetic bridal party and appreciated Rachel and Randy’s laid-back approach to their wedding day.  All of the details were perfect- from the black and white checkerboard dancefloor to the bright green and yellow cupcake/cake display to Rachel’s adorable mini reception dress!  Congrats you two- I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon in Cancun! 🙂
