I just love how picturesque Mission Ranch is and how unique this ceremony was! With Jessica and her father walking along the white picket fence, past the sheep and under a large cypress tree to her awaiting groom we were all in awe anticipating the beginning of their ceremony together. These two were so happy to be in that moment that I’m sure they didn’t even notice that anyone within viewing distance was stopping to watch this beautiful couple get married! It was a sweet ceremony and even included the two of them stepping away for a moment just the two of them to have an opportunity to be together and enjoy that moment of becoming one. I overheard Jessica say afterwards that was her favorite part…and it was very sweet to capture!
