Elegant but never stuffy. Fun but never chaotic. Angelica & Emmanuelle’s wedding at Hotel Winters hit that perfect balance of a personal and emotional day. Their pure joy together reminded us that the best photos come from real moments, not always planned ones. This wedding in Winters, CA, is the perfect example of making every detail of your day meaningful. With 5 whole years to plan, Angelica & Emmanuelle were able to customize every detail. From their seating chart to their cocktail napkins and everything in between, no detail was left out.

From the Couple:

“Adrienne and Dani simply made everything about our engagement shoot (included in our wedding package wow) AND our wedding BEAUTIFUL. They guided us through everything, found incredible locations for the most magical backdrops, and genuinely made what for us was the most stressful part of the experience (capturing it) literally as carefree as could be. They are 10/10 hype girls and made us feel amazing! I cannot stop looking at my engagement photos from almost a year ago there are literally thousands and our wedding sneak peek alone is just so magical.

They somehow captured the entire vibe and so many special moments of the wedding and i cannot understand how they were so undetectable during the ceremony! I’ve been to so many ceremonies where the crew can get in the way or all you hear is clicks, but adrienne and dani are seriously professionals and in no way detracted from the ceremony, family member’s views, but still captured everything!! We literally cannot thank them enough and we completely put our trust in them and they went above and beyond our expectations. They also made the most precious gift for us at the end of the wedding night that will be something we cherish forever. Xoxo you cannot go wrong with them I wish I had more events coming up to have them at <3″

A&E were such a chill couple. They were so happy to be together and getting married that nothing bothered them all day. And despite some early nerves, once they saw each other after the first look, the rest of the day was so easygoing and just plain fun! The couple met when, after a fresh move from the East Coast, Angelica decided she wanted to adopt a cat. When she went to the shelter, Emmanuelle was working there. She did adopt a cat, and to this day, they still have their fur baby. They even incorporated a cute logo of their cat (and their dog) throughout their wedding decor.

Despite the sizzling summer heat, the whole vibe of their day was just joyful and chill. It felt like they had always belonged together, and the wedding simply gave their nearest and dearest a chance to celebrate and catch up. Angelica’s bridesmaids looked radiant in shades of pink, and Emmanuelle and his groomsmen stunned in burgundy suits. Also, a shoutout to Emmanuelle for rocking the 3 piece suit in the heat, and his gold pocket watch with matching chain deserves its own moment.

But Angelica was just as stunning! She changed up her look throughout the day by swapping a chiffon scarf for a veil and her incredible bouquet featuring ranunculus, orchid, and anthurium flowers. Angelica had actually come to us asking how to mix up her look for the day. They both wanted a first look, but she wanted to surprise Emmanuelle with a bit of a different look for their ceremony. We recommended her scarf for the pre-ceremony photos and then to add the veil just before walking down the aisle. That way, she didn’t have to worry about tugging her veil loose while they hugged each other.

Hotel Winters Ceremony and Reception Decor

They wanted their color palette to emulate a pastel summer sunset, and their decor did not disappoint! Color drenched their wedding day. Our favorite touch was their colorful tablecloths. Not only did they pop against the white walls of their reception space, but it just made the whole room feel warm and inviting. Another favorite, not just for us but for their guests too, was their cake table. They had 7 separate cakes in addition to their main wedding cake. Their guests loved choosing from their favorite flavors for dessert at the end of the night.

We’re Adrienne & Dani, two people who genuinely believe that great wedding photography should feel like something you inherited, not something you ordered. We’ve spent 16+ years reading the room and making photographs that feel less like documentation and more like something you’d find tucked in a drawer at your grandmother’s house. If that sounds like exactly what you’ve been looking for, we’d love to hear from you. And if you’re just here for the good vibes, come find us on Instagram.
