Sacramento is known for its hot, dry summers, with temperatures often soaring above 100°F (38°C). If you're planning a summer wedding in California's capital, you’ll want to consider how to keep your guests cool.

Choosing between an outdoor and indoor wedding is a big decision that can affect the vibe, logistics, and overall experience of your big day. Let’s break down the benefits—and the potential challenges—of both to help you decide what’s right for you.

A wedding photo shot list is a detailed guide to capturing every essential moment of your big day, from the intimate getting-ready shots to the celebratory reception moments. It includes everything from close-ups of the wedding details (like the dress, rings, and flowers) to portraits of the bride, groom, and their loved ones, ensuring that no important memory is missed. The list also covers key moments like the first look, ceremony, group shots, speeches, and the lively reception, as well as candid shots of guests enjoying the celebration. Tailor the list to your personal preferences, and you'll have a beautifully captured story of your wedding day.

The first look—those few seconds when the bride and groom see each other for the first time on their wedding day—has become a cherished moment for many couples. While traditionally, the first time couples laid eyes on each other was during the walk down the aisle, today many are opting for a more private and intimate "first look" before the ceremony. This moment offers more than just a photo op; it’s a chance for the couple to share a personal, emotional connection before the chaos of the day sets in.
