Black Bear Inn Wedding ~ Arnold California

In case you didn’t know I shoot weddings! ha! Unfortunately I am just really bad at blogging them! One of my 2016 goals is to make blogging more of a workflow must so that all my weddings do not wait until winter to get shared. Trisha & Darrel tied the knot at the cutest little mountain getaway called Black Bear Inn in Arnold, California. Black Bear Inn can accommodate your entire wedding party and you get the venue for the weekend which is a pretty sweet deal! For late May it was a chilly cloudy and dark day but the sun peeked out at all the right times and the rain held off most of the day!

I loved Trisha’s choice of accessories and her Keepsake toss bouquet! You can find these adorable bouquets at Burlap & Lace on facebook.

I am always a fan of matching robes for your best ladies!! These robes are from SilkandMore on Esty!

Trisha and Darrel opted for a first look which always makes me do a little dance ;). First looks just really set the tone for the day and I swear they make everything go more smoothly! It is also a perfect time to give your husband (or wife) to be a little gift or love note :)
