Old Sugar Mill | Sacramento Wedding Venue

A little back story

The Old Sugar Mill in Sacramento is a notable historical site located in Clarksburg, just a short drive from downtown Sacramento. Old Sugar Mill was built in 1934 and the mill was used for processing sugar beets. Today, the Old Sugar Mill has been repurposed and is known for its role as a winery and event venue. The historic buildings have been transformed into a space that houses multiple wineries, offering tastings and tours. It’s a great spot to explore the blend of history and modern wine culture, with the old industrial charm of the sugar mill providing a unique backdrop.

Hailie and Justin’s Old Sugar Mill Wedding

We had such a blast photographing Hailie and Justin’s wedding day. This was a wedding that my husband and I worked on together as the couple wanted two shooters. If you’re not sure about if you should have a second-shooter, please just ask. The couple began their wedding day in different getting ready locations. Hailie and her tribe had their hair and makeup done off-site while her groom got ready on site. We started with the groom and groomsmen photos until the bride arrived. Hailie arrived with her girls and we proceeded with her getting ready photos and then on to First Look with the Father of the Bride and the groom.

After First Look’s we hung out with the wedding party for a bit and took photos, then moved on to Hailie and Justin. We rolled right into ceremony, then finished up family portraits just in time for sunset photos, while the guests hung back for cocktail hour. Now it’s on to the fun, the reception! I swear wedding days fly by for me. Even my husband commented on how quickly the day was over.
