Location: Grand Island Mansion

Taylor and Meggie celebrated their exquisite wedding at the Grand Island Mansion located in Walnut Grove, California. It was the perfect bluebird day for the happy couple, and I must say, their venue was phenomenal. I already can’t wait to photograph a future wedding at the Grand Island Mansion.

Built in 1917, this historic landmark is an Italian Renaissance-style villa with an enchanting garden and spacious interior, making for a stunning and luxurious wedding venue –the perfect backdrop for any couple looking to say “I do”!

Not only was the interior furnished with timeless pieces, but the detail in both the garden and the interior rooms would make any bride swoon.

Getting Ready With The Bridal Party

Meggie started her special day by getting ready at Create and Bloom Studios (of yours truly). My absolute favorite Sacramento Makeup Artist, Ernesto Robledo, came to the studio to glam Meggie up before we took a party bus to her venue, the Grand Island Mansion, to get her into her dress and start the celebration.

Taylor and his groomsmen got ready in the venue’s groom suite, which provided a moody, wooden panel backdrop for his getting-ready photos.

Wedding Ceremony & Reception At Grand Island Mansion

From first look to their sparkler send-off, everything about their wedding day was a breeze, ran perfectly, and was a dream to document. If I were to describe their wedding in just three words, it would be lighthearted, joyful, and romantic.

The light-colored florals were sensational, and the details (like Taylor’s floral tie) provided all the right elements to add personality to this luxurious and beautiful wedding.

If you want to get a feel for the wedding and the venue, I highly recommend checking out the wedding video trailer from the amazing Bianca with Big Day Productions.
