Lauren and Joel’s Saureel Vineyards wedding in Placerville, California was so beautiful! These two are the sweetest couple, and I loved every second of shooting their wedding day! The weather for their day was perfect. I loved the simple yet elegant look of their wedding, with the rustic touches that they added. They chose such a perfect venue as well! Saureel Vineyards Barn sits on 148 acres and has stunning vineyards and a 9 acre lake making the perfect backdrop for portraits!

Lauren & Joel’s Saureel Vineyards Wedding in California

Something that I especially loved about this day was the way Lauren and Joel’s incorporated all three of their pups! After Joel and Lauren had their first looks and exchanged their private vows, they got photos with all three of them. And let me tell you, they are all so cute! Lauren and Joel are huge travelers and they love to scuba dive, which is so cool!! (They were inspirations for why I got certified too!). I loved the way they had the table numbers listing all of the different beaches that they’ve been to! In fact, their favorite place that they’ve been together is San Pedro in Belize! This is also where they got engaged at, which is so special! Lauren and Joel’s day was nothing short of perfect, and seeing all of the things that were important and unique to them incorporated throughout the day made it even more special!
