    Quercus rysophylla – loquat-leaf Oak

    Weddings with us!

    Twyla & Brandan

    We are so excited to share one of more recent January weddings! This one was such a unique and fun experience. Twyla & Brandan contacted us late last year saying they were planning an elopement style wedding at Peckerwood Garden. Just the two of them in a beautiful garden. We were hooked! This day did not disappoint. Twyla & Brandan are the most down to earth people, and we had so much fun shooting their ceremony and then taking them around the garden after. It was also the perfect opportunity to utilize our drone!We hope y'all enjoy this film as much as we enjoyed making it!
