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.

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.
