Samantha + Alejandro’s Wolf Lakes Wedding

Samantha and Alejandro celebrated their wedding at Wolf Lakes Park in Sanger, California this spring. It was such a beautiful celebration of love and commitment! From their first look to their first dance, every moment was filled with love and joy. The couple’s love for one another was evident in every aspect of their wedding, and it was clear that their love story was just beginning.

The two met through mutual friends and quickly fell in love. Alejandro proposed during a romantic hot air balloon ride in Temecula, California in November. Saying ‘yes’ has been one of Samantha’s favorite decisions.

The couple chose Wolf Lakes Park as their wedding venue due to its serene atmosphere and beautiful scenery. The park boasts stunning lakes, lush greenery, and charming bridges, making it the perfect backdrop for Samantha and Alejandro’s special day.

As the day began, Samantha felt excitement and anticipation. She had been eagerly looking forward to her first look with Alejandro for months. The couple decided to do a first look before the ceremony, allowing them to share a private moment together before the festivities began.

When the moment arrived, Samantha walked towards Alejandro, who stood with his back turned. As he turned around, tears filled his eyes at the sight of his beautiful bride. Samantha was radiant in her wedding gown, and the couple shared a heartfelt embrace before taking photos together.

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a cocktail hour on the venue’s outdoor pavilion, complete with delicious appetizers and refreshing drinks. Samantha and Adam took portraits with their close family members while guests mingled. Once family portraits were done, we spent some time together exploring the many beautiful areas that Wolf Lakes has to offer for their bride and groom portraits.

The reception was held in a beautifully covered area, with elegant decor and soft lighting creating a romantic atmosphere. Their first dance was one of my favorite moments of the day, with the soft glow of the lights creating a magical ambiance.
