Fall Wedding at Estate at Independence

Clay and Alivia had an elegant Estate at Independence Wedding in Fall.

Their love story started back when they were in kindergarten. Each of them played soccer, and that’s when their friendship started. When Clay proposed at Saude Creek Vineyard, Alivia quickly said, “yes!”

The wedding day started with Alivia and her bridesmaids getting ready in matching robes. They were all so excited for the day that they had fun dancing around to music!

Her bridesmaids waited outside while Alivia’s mother helped her into her wedding gown. As she walked out to her bridesmaids, they all turned around and were amazed at how stunning she looked in her gown. Afterward, they shared a sweet moment where everyone prayed over Alivia.

Next up was an unforgettable first look between Alivia and her father. As soon as he turned around to see his beautiful daughter in her wedding dress, his face lit up with excitement!

The ceremony space was held underneath the pavilion at the Estate at Independence. This open space has vaulted ceilings made of natural wood. During their vows, both took a few steps away from everyone so that they could hear the vows they were making to one another alone.

We got some great portraits of them after they exchanged rings and sealed their marriage with a kiss! We loved exploring the property of the Estate at Independence with these two. Stepping away from all the craziness of a wedding day to enjoy time with your spouse should always be a wedding day goal!

At their reception, during Clay and Alivia’s first dance, all their guests gathered around the dance floor to watch. As a result, more people were paying attention than if they were seated at their tables.

After a fun evening of dancing, the newlyweds shared a private last dance inside the reception hall while their guests lined up outside for a sparkler exit. The couple ran through the tunnel of sparklers with excitement to start the journey of married life!
