// This wedding was photographed by associate photographer, Erin Prado. //

Tina and Noah exchanged vows on a picturesque November day in Martinez, California, surrounded by the tranquility of Tina’s parent's backyard. The sunny, blue skies paired with the green landscape recently brought back to life from the autumn rains provided the perfect backdrop for their intimate ceremony, creating an atmosphere filled with love and warmth. There was excitement while the couple signed their marriage license as a hummingbird was stuck in their garage, but a gentle rescue and nectar treat made sure it was okay. Close family and friends gathered in the backyard, surrounded by the verdant rolling hills, to witness their union, with Tina also five months pregnant, making the event even more special. After the heartfelt vows and exchanging of rings, the newlyweds led the way to a beautifully arranged tent outside, where a catered dinner reception awaited. Under the warm glow of string lights, guests got cozy and enjoyed a delicious feast that celebrated the couple's diverse tastes. Laughter and heartfelt toasts echoed throughout the tent, creating an unforgettable evening.
