Sid and Dylan planned the sweetest, most intentional wedding day at a peaceful Airbnb tucked away in Grass Valley, California. As a Northern California elopement photographer, I love when couples keep things true to themselves—and this day was exactly that.
Sid and Dylan’s Northern California Elopement
Their intimate morning ceremony took place beneath tall pines, with just their two best friends (and their adorable dog!) by their side. The Airbnb’s backyard made the perfect ceremony spot! They had a wooden hexagon arch draped with soft blush fabric that added the perfect touch of romance!
Sid looked stunning in her lace gown, and Dylan kept it classic and relaxed in a white shirt and navy trousers. Their pup trotted around happily—clearly thrilled to be part of the celebration. Including him in the ceremony was such a fun and personal touch.
Let’s Brunch!
After the ceremony, the group celebrated with a cozy brunch right at the Airbnb, cooked up by their best friends. It was laid-back, personal, and full of love—just how a wedding day should be.
One of my favorite things about small, intentional weddings like this is how relaxed they feel. No rushing, no big production—just meaningful moments shared with the people (and pups) who matter most.
As a Northern California elopement photographer, I always tell my couples: your day can look however you want it to. You can rent a beautiful Airbnb, say your vows under the trees, and celebrate with brunch in your backyard. That’s what made Sid and Dylan’s day so special—it reflected exactly who they are.
After brunch, Sid and Dylan shared a small cake-cutting moment—just the two of them, their besties, and their pup nearby, of course! It was a simple vanilla cake, but the moment felt extra special.
Funny story: the bride specifically didn’t want pink on the inside, but the bakery messed up and made it pink anyway. The couple laughed it off, and it actually made for some hilarious photos and a memory they’ll never forget.
If you’re dreaming of a wedding day that feels laid-back, meaningful, and totally you, let’s make it happen. Your love deserves to be celebrated in a way that feels natural and true to your story.
