Little Bear Creek Ranch Vibrant Summer Wedding

Nicole + Ian

They drove Ian’s beautiful truck all the way from Minnesota to have their wedding day here at Little Bear Creek Ranch in Anderson, California! And what a gorgeous wedding day it was! I loved every detail that Nicole had planned so meticulously. The tables at the reception were adorned with all different types of vases and coordinated so well. She also had vintage furniture and area rugs set out for guests to relax and enjoy. She thought of it all! 

One thing we absolutely loved about Nicole and Ian was how relaxed they were! If they were feeling the normal wedding day stress, you wouldn’t have been able to tell. When we arrived, the girls were upstairs with hair and makeup in full swing. The guys were downstairs just chilling, which was awesome! Matt so enjoyed chilling along with them until it was time to get them ready for the first look. 

Nicole’s wedding bouquet was stunning! Marshall’s Florist did such a great job. While the main color was Hunter Green, the pops of vibrant jewel-colored florals just topped everything off! The colorful florals also decorated the ceremony site and reception area. I also just have to chat real quick about her dress!! Wow! It was absolutely perfect for Nicole! She looked so gorgeous! When Ian saw her for the first time, he said it was like being smacked upside the head with how beautiful she was. It was the sweetest thing to photograph them seeing each other before the ceremony! I could write more but I’ll go ahead and let the photos tell the story. 

Nicole and Ian, thank you so much for choosing us to be your wedding photographers! It was an absolute honor to celebrate with you! I hope you enjoy reliving your special day as you scroll through my favorites below.

FALL RIVER MILLS RANCH WEDDING | WITH HOLLY DYCHE PHOTOGRAPHY

The sun was setting across the meadow as the bride and groom posed for their sunset portraits. We heard a noise and looked over to see a herd of horses coming our way to see what all the excitement was about. It was a gorgeous sight to behold! A sweet mare and her baby were posed next to the bride and groom for an epic sunset portrait that took all our breaths away!
