Sarah & Justin’s Casa Real wedding in Pleasanton was a perfect October day. They traveled up from San Diego and held their celebration close to Sarah’s family home, where the ladies got ready. The rest of the day unfolded at Casa Real.

Justin saw Sarah for the first time during their first look, and the joy on his face said everything. After some wedding party portraits, guests arrived to a beautiful vestibule with pre-ceremony refreshments. When the barrel room doors opened, friends and family took their seats for an intimately lit ceremony. Watching the newlyweds come back down the aisle — with those joyful expressions — is one of my favorite parts of the day.

The light was perfect as the sun dropped for portraits just before cocktail hour ended. Sarah and Justin made their way to every table to greet their guests before speeches and dances got underway. Once the toasts finished, the dance floor opened — first for the parent dances, then for everyone else. This was a gorgeous Casa Real wedding, and I’m so glad to share some of my favorites below!
