Intimate Autumn Themed UC Botanical Garden Wedding » Berkeley, California / by Vivian Chen

Taylor Ann and Jan were married under the redwoods at the Mather Grove in UC Botanical Gardens in Berkeley. The overcast October weather made for the perfect moody autumn feel on the forest floor. Taylor Ann got ready at her family’s Airbnb and after a first look with her father, we headed over to the venue. Taylor Ann’s grandmother carried the rings for the ceremony and the couple shared personal vows. Afterwards, everyone headed over to Julia Morgan Hall where guests were treated to a delicious dinner featuring multiple types of mole. The evening wrapped up with a dance party on the deck while dining on cheesecake for dessert.

// This is a pre-COVID wedding. I have several weddings from before the pandemic that I never got to share. While I’m a stickler for chronology, I also love these wedding photos so much and want to share them with you all.
