Seka Hill Olive Mill Wedding – Yvonne and Ryan

What can I say about this wedding but amazing!!  Yvonne and Ryan were married at the beautiful Seka Hills Olive Mill. Yvonne looking gorgeous in her custom-made gown by Miosa Bride.  I can tell how much fun she was having that day although the weather did not cooperate as planned.  The day started off so sunny and beautiful even though the weather channel says that rain is eminent.  The outdoor wedding was set up as planned hoping that the storm will bypass the wedding site.  However, at the very last minute..okay less than 20 minutes before ceremony started, they made the executive decision to move the ceremony into the tent.  And so there was a mad dash to get the chairs into the tent and set up the ceremony there instead.

Although the wedding wasn’t going to happen outdoors as planned, Yvonne and Ryan still had that great outlook.  Yvonne was still had a smile and really was taking in the moment.  The rain came down and quickly left.  Unfortunately, it was during the time of the wedding and family photos.  But as soon as the sun came out, we were able to take photos on the beautiful ceremony stage with huge picture frame.

The decor was beautifully designed by the talented Tom Ursini, The Party Concierge.  Amazing flowers and gold and sparkles everywhere just like Yvonne wanted.  Party music and the gorgeous lighting designed by MR DJ Event Services.

Seka Hill Olive Mill is located just down the street from Cache Creek Casino where the wedding couple got ready.  They include some of Yvonne’s indian heritage into the ceremony.  The woven basket that I photographed the rings on were from Yvonne’s grandmother.  It is a rare and delicate and has so much meaning to the family.  The bundle of burning sage was part of the wedding ritual.  And, of course the feathers which is a huge importance to American Indians.  I loved being part of this wedding, from the tradition to the small details that so many people helped to pull together.  At the end..rain or shine, Yvonne and Ryan are now married and the memories of their beautiful day is documented in this collection of photos that I am honored to give to them.  Congratulation to the couple!
