The Five Willows Livermore Wedding

Weddings

If there is anyone who knows how to have a crazy fun wedding, it’s Kathryn & Ryan. This couple’s wedding day at The Five Willows, Livermore was the perfect blend of stylish and beautiful while still being lively and a good time for all. Between the post-ceremony limoncello shooters, to the epic choreographed first dance (with more crazy moves than I could ever dream of doing), to partying all night on the dance floor- this was a wedding no guest will soon forget.

About The Wedding

Kathryn and Ryan put so many special touches into their wedding day. Kat’s own mother altered the wedding dress and provided all the succulents and olive branches for the bouquets, altar/sweetheart table halo, and centerpieces. A good friend created custom van shoes for Kathryn to walk down the aisle in. Complete with a scene of Italy where the two got engaged. The pair honored their elders by inviting their grandmothers to be their “Flower Ladies”- walking down the aisle with roses. With a love for nature, they invited guests to participate in the planting of their unity tree by having them scoop soil into the plant’s pot in preparation for the ceremony. Their wedding day was a labor of love, and oh how much love did everyone show!

Kathryn & Ryan

To Kat & Ryan- thank you so much for welcoming me in to document your wedding day. It’s been quite a journey with a lot of ups and downs to finally get you to married after all the craziness of the last year and a half, and I was overjoyed that you two got the amazing celebration you deserved! I had so many favorite moments from the day- from hanging out with the girls in the morning, to witnessing your super sweet First Look, to piggyback rides in the vineyards! You two are such soul mates and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you! Congrats again for tying the knot!

Client Love Notes

“From the day we first inquired Corinna’s photography services to the special day (wedding), we knew we picked the photographer of a lifetime. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, gave us resources to help plan our special day, and was available whenever we reached out with questions. Her personalized touches made us feel like we had been friends for decades! We met with Corinna back in 2019 in hopes to get married in 2020…..but as many experienced, we were in for a long haul! Corinna worked with us to find a new date and made the entire process as seamless as possible. She is also such a trooper! She hiked with us for our engagement photos while pregnant with her first-born and had even scoped out the location prior to our shoot because it was a new place for her. We had the pleasure of taking secondary “mini shoot” engagement photos with her in the almond blossom orchards of Dixon and experienced the same care/attention. She is incredibly attentive to detail and does everything she can to make you feel the special and important. Her timely and helpful responses throughout our wedding planning process made the photography piece something we never stressed about. On our wedding day, Corinna and her assistant were absolute superstars! They took gorgeous detail/getting ready photos, fun candid moments with our friends and families, and stayed a little later to capture us getting loose on the dance floor! We couldn’t love our photos more! We would highly recommend Corinna Rose for any wedding (or other special event) because she is a talented photographer who provided us with our edited photographs very quickly and is an all-around genuine human being! We recently recommended our friend to reach out to her, and although she was booked for the same date, she recommended a fellow photographer that she trusted – proving again how thoughtful and amazing she is. Don’t delay and reach out to Corinna today!!”
