I love this rustic ranch wedding, and love even more that Gina and Jordan were featured on Rustic Wedding Chic!

Gina and Jordan’s wedding at Triple S Ranch Napa in Napa, Ca (otherwise known as SSS Ranch Napa) was the definition of rustic, with vintage elements. Triple S Ranch is from 1860, and the tree they were married under was 175 years old! My favorite part of the wedding though had to be that Gina wore a necklace that had been passed down through generations in her family, being worn by every woman to get married. There is a picture of it below that documents all of the women family members! What made getting married at Triple S Ranch extra special though, was that it almost burned down in the October 2017 Napa wildfires. You can see the fire damage in the background of several of their portraits, with it almost touching the property boundaries. With that said, I knew it must be fate that these two were to be married there.

Gina and Jordan met when they were 8 years old through their families, and played together on the very same ranch that Jordan proposed on 20 years later! Gina says that, “We were maybe 8 when we first started having crushes on each other.” What makes this wedding even more special to me though, is that Gina and I went to college together! It is always such an honor to be hired by a fellow creative to capture their beautiful wedding in all of its glory.

It may have been that their wedding was over 100 degrees, but the two of them were radiating not only love, but tears the entire day. What pulled the entire thing together though, was their dog Asher also walked down the aisle. An important member of the family, he was included in all of the festivities, even trying to snatch their appetizer plate during portraits. I love that Triple S Ranch Napa allows dogs on their Napa property, so that Asher could be involved!

All in all, the day was filled with everything a wedding could dream of being. Friends and family gathered together to both cry and smile at two beautiful souls being united at a beautiful location. It was simply put, simply perfect.

“We want our wedding to be simple. We are simple people. It’s outdoors, its ranch like, antique like. I’m hoping its romantic but I know he will make it silly. I’m excited for him to have to be a little bit more emotional. But this is the first real kind of experience like this my family has had so all bets are off with the crying!”
