Oh, what a perfect way to wrap up September! This past weekend, I had the honor of capturing Andi and Jason’s wedding at Regalo Orchard, and it was truly a celebration of love and family. It feels like the theme of this month has been beautifully blended families, and Andi and Jason’s day was the sweetest ending to that theme. No chance of rain or autumn winds could have slowed down this celebration!

We began the day with Andi getting her hair done at Neon Dreams Salon / Stephanie Gomez I have to say, I absolutely loved this salon’s vibes and atmosphere—it was the perfect fit for Andi’s fun and laid-back personality. After her hair was done, we grabbed another cup of coffee and headed over to her suite at Hotel Vandivort where she finished getting ready. While Andi and Jason didn’t have an official bridal party, Andi was surrounded by her mom, sister, and close friends all morning and afternoon, creating such a warm and supportive atmosphere.

Once she was ready, it was time to head over to Regalo Orchard and Event Venue where her groom was waiting. Jason, with his quiet and relaxed nature, was ready and eager to see his beautiful bride. Even though Andi had jokingly told him she’d marry him in pajamas, he still showed up looking sharp and ready to go! He threw on his jacket, and it was finally time for the happy couple to see one another for the first time that day.

After sharing a quick moment together, Andi and Jason were ready to hide away and take a deep breath (and a quick shot!) before the ceremony. Before we knew it, the time had come for them to officially start their forever together.

Jason entered the ceremony with his children by his side, followed by Andi’s beautiful walk down the aisle. Andi then gave the most heartfelt speech, explaining that this day wasn’t just about her and Jason—it was about their journey as a family, coming together as one. It was such a beautiful moment, full of love and emotion. The four of them then took part in a family unity ceremony, blending their own colors of glass beads that would later be melted down into a one-of-a-kind glass sculpture—symbolizing the blending of their lives into something truly unique.

Andi and Jason then shared their vows, exchanged rings, and were pronounced husband and wife! The joy on their faces as they shared their first kiss and walked back down the aisle was contagious.

After a few portraits with their loved ones, it was time for the party to begin! The wind finally settled down just in time to decorate the tables beautifully, setting the stage for an incredible evening. The laid-back vibe of the day continued, with everyone enjoying a delicious dinner and drinks as they mingled and laughed together.

As the night went on, loved ones shared speeches filled with love and support, and there were plenty of tears and laughter. Andi and Jason then took to the dance floor for their first dance as newlyweds, followed by a sweet father-daughter dance. From there, the dance floor opened up, and everyone danced the night away until the very end.

Andi and Jason, thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your beautiful day. Your love and the love you have for your family is truly something special, and I am so honored to have captured these moments for you.

Lots of Love,

Jessica Yahn
