Central Valley Elopement at Double B Ranch

Central Valley elopement

Angie + Jose’s Central Valley Elopement

You can’t tell by the photos, but Angie + Jose’s Central Valley elopement was on fire! Okay, not really. But the temperature was definitely up there! Their mountain elopement took place in the middle of July, which is the absolute hottest time of the year for the Central Valley. We combatted the heat by taking lots of water breaks, timing their bride + groom portraits in the evening just before the sun set, and remaining super positive.

Getting married or eloping in the summer?

First, congratulations! Second, if you need some curated tips to help keep you cool during those toasty Central Valley summer months, then you can check out my blog on the top summer wedding tips I give my clients!

Angie + Jose, thank you so much for saying yes to this summertime elopement editorial. Life is so hectic, and I’m so glad you decided to stop and create such a beautiful day to celebrate your love and life with one another. Your joy was absolutely infectious, and I couldn’t write this blog without smiling the entire time.

Lastly, this eloepementeditorial would not have been possible without some absolutely incredible Central Valley-based wedding vendors.
