Straus Home Ranch Wedding: Claire + Will

Straus Home Ranch Wedding

Raise your hand if you love a farm-style wedding because I sure do and Claire & Will’s beautiful day at Straus Home Ranch will not disappoint! This beautiful couple was graced with a dreamy and rare warm day in Marshall, CA, off the waters of Tomales Bay. It all started with Claire and her gals getting ready in the lovely white farmhouse on-site before Claire & Will shared a very sweet and romantic first look by the glistening waters of Tomales Bay. After that, we stopped by the cow pasture to say hello to the four-legged residents of the active dairy farm. Claire was such a trooper as she walked through the messy field in her pretty blue heels.

Claire and Will were married on top of the hill, on the edge of a eucalyptus grove. One of my favorite moments was when Claire & Will stole a kiss from each other at the start of the ceremony. They had a Jewish ceremony and the chuppah cloth they stood under was once a table cloth embroidered by Claire’s grandmother! I found that to be a beautiful symbol of how important family is to them both. The evening concluded with a fabulous celebration inside the gorgeous red barn, complete with dinner and dancing.

Enjoy the photos below. Many thanks to Katelyn for second shooting for me. Please be sure to check out the list of their talented vendors at the end of the photos.

So freaking excited for these two! They kept it sweet and simple with a private elopement in San Francisco's golden gate park and they also had an enormous amount of luck when they planned to get married on Wednesday when we had a break in the rain here in the SF Bay Area. It was such a joy to capture this moment ❤️
Just going to put this here... my first attempt at putting myself in front of the camera! Everyone else is doing it so I'm giving it a shot now too. ⁠

This is from Christy & Dory's gorgeous wedding at Straus Home Ranch, in Marshall, CA. It is one of my favorite venues and this was a very special wedding. Even though this is a more serious moment there is tons of laughter that happens between these two. Christy has the most contagious laugh. I'm sure you'll be smiling when you take a peek.

The most memorable moments are the unexpected ones. We were getting lined up for family photos when we could hear the blue angels starting up (very loudly) and flying overhead. Emily & Will got so lucky they didn't fly over while they were exchanging their vows and only started up just minutes after they said "I do."⁠
⁠
Also when taking this photo I was disappointed for a split second that I didn't have a long close up lens on me so I could get a better photo of the planes, but then I realized my wide angle lens was perfect for allowing me to get everyone's reaction to the planes just before they zoomed out of frame.
