What started as an elopement dream turned into one of the most heartfelt and beautifully intimate weddings. Ashton and Chad originally planned to run away together and say “I do” quietly, but as plans evolved, they realized they wanted to share the moment with their closest loved ones. With the help of their amazing planner and florist, they pulled together an unforgettable celebration in just two months.

Their wedding took place at the serene Dawn Ranch in Guerneville, California — tucked among the redwoods and apple orchards, it was the perfect blend of laid-back and elegant. They exchanged vows in a peaceful apple orchard surrounded by their dearest family and friends, followed by a five-course dinner served at a long family-style table. Every detail reflected their vision — intimate, intentional, and filled with warmth.

The festivities began the day before at Martin Ray Winery in Santa Rosa, where Ashton and Chad hosted
a welcome party that set the tone for the weekend.
Guests enjoyed another incredible meal, good wine, and even better company.

From start to finish, their wedding weekend was a true reflection of who they are — thoughtful, effortless, and full of heart.
It was an honor to capture every quiet, meaningful moment of it all.
