Ally and Jeff's Butterfly Gap Wedding - Jaclyn Paige Photography

Joshua and I have been looking forward to Ally and Jeff's wedding since we shot their engagement session last year.  These two are super fun, light-hearted, kind, easy-going, and fanatic about sports.  They decided to do a First Look moment before the ceremony so we could take care of all the formal and couple shots early in the day, allowing them to go straight to the reception after the ceremony.  This is such a great way to manage the "flow" of the day and it gives a couple more time together on a day that traditionally does not allow for many moments to themselves.  The first shot below was taken moments after Jeff saw his beautiful bride for the first time.  Butterfly Gap provides a lovely outdoor setting for weddings but also boasts some unique architecture for indoor events as well-- the curved walls of the reception hall can be rotated to transform the space into more of an open-air pavilion.  Cool!  Jeff was over the moon about his San Francisco Giants Stadium groom's cake, designed by Daisy Cake Company.  What an amazing creation!  The couple boogied and mingled and posed for the PicSpot before hopping in their car and embarking on their new life together as husband and wife.  Congratulations, Ally and Jeff!  --Jaclyn
