Jessee & Isaac | Summer Wedding at Hummingbird Nest Ranch

Jessee and Isaac’s summer wedding at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in California was nothing short of incredible. After postponing their 2020 wedding they were finally able to celebrate during the warm summer months with all their friends and family. They hosted their guests at this venue with a gorgeous landscape overlooking Santa Susana Mountain.

Summer Wedding Theme

Jessee choose a stunning color palette of bright pinks and blues that really brought this summer wedding to life. The colors compliment each other perfectly. The theme was incorporated into all of the wedding details from the invitations, to flowers, to menus and bridesmaid dresses.

The First Look

My favorite part of the whole day was the first look. Instead of saying their vows during their ceremony, they exchanged heartfelt letters and gifts before they saw each other. This sweet and intimate moment was so personal and sweet. Isaac’s reaction to seeing Jessee for the first time was beyond sweet.

Bridal Party Photos and Portraits

Jessee and Isaac added their color theme perfectly with their bridal party as well. The bridesmaids wore different shades of blue and it made for some awesome portrait photos! The groomsmen wore black suits with a navy tie, while Isaac stood out with his blue suit and light pink tie. Jessee and Isaac had a stunning backdrop for all of their photos.

The Reception

After the ceremony their guests were ready to celebrate and enjoy dinner! Jessee and Isaac setup a cozy conversation space with couches and chairs for their guests to enjoy inside, but the reception was set up outside. They had long farmhouse tables, round tables with pink linens and wooden cross-back chairs. Their reception area was covered in thousands of string lights and it was the perfect setting for dancing the night away! Congratulations to a beautiful couple and their stunning summer wedding!
