Bay Area Wedding Photographer | Fall Wedding in Vacaville

Sierra and Ethan threw the dreamiest Halloween-inspired micro wedding right in their own backyard in Vacaville, CA! I’m still not over it, I loved their wedding so much! The whole day had that perfect mix of spooky season charm and timeless elegance. Honestly, backyard weddings can be every bit as stunning as a big venue celebration, or better! I love when couples make their day totally their own!

Sierra and Ethan’s Wedding Day

They transformed their backyard into an elegant outdoor ceremony space that felt straight out of a fall wedding dream. A stunning circular floral arch framed their vows, draped with white fabric and had the most gorgeous arrangement of blooms and textures.

The color palette was a moody autumn masterpiece. The colors were deep purples, creamy whites, dusty greens, and hints of black. I loved how the colors played off the natural tones of the surrounding trees, adding depth without overpowering the setting. Every detail—from the tiny white pumpkins to the textured floral accents—was beautifully curated and totally on-theme. They created a space that felt both intentional and effortlessly relaxed.

The ceremony was intimate, emotional, and full of love. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Sierra and Ethan exchanged vows under the trees in the golden fall light. Their décor tied in subtle Halloween vibes—think white pumpkins and deep-hued florals—without feeling overly themed. It was timeless with a seasonal twist, and it worked so beautifully.


One of my favorite things about smaller weddings is how much more connected everyone feels. This wasn’t just a celebration—it was a cozy, joy-filled gathering of the people who matter most.

If you’re dreaming of an intimate, seasonal wedding that’s both stylish and sentimental, this one’s for you.
