Vista Valley Country Club: A Dreamy Tuscan Wedding

Daniella and Ryan’s Tuscan wedding at the Vista Valley Country Club was so beautiful and elegant. The whole time, we felt like we were smack dab in the middle of an Italian romance movie.

Magical?! TO SAY THE VERY LEAST.

We started the day, as we usually do. Together, we familiarized ourselves with the space. During this time, we captured some of the venue details that gave the day a dreamy Tuscan feel, like the stone arches, ivy, and narrow windows.

Then, we moved on to the flat-lay photos and captured the first of the adorable blue accents that would continue throughout the day. Seriously, the details were to die for.

As they got ready, Daniella and Ryan gifted each other heartfelt letters. This made for a very sweet moment to set the tone for the day. We 10/10 recommend doing this on your wedding day. Trust us when we say that there is nothing sweeter than taking a minute to read your significant other’s sweet words.

We also got to see Daniella and Ryan’s mothers and grandmothers receive handkerchiefs that the now-newlywed couple had bought for them on a recent trip to Europe. Also, this was such a special moment to capture and a beautiful symbolic display of unity in the family.

Sweet Ceremony Moments

On our way to the ceremony, we had a surprise appearance from Ryan’s grandfather. Ryan wasn’t expecting to see him since he wasn’t feeling well. However, he ended up being able to drive by and take some photos allowing him to see the groom on his big day while still protecting his health. It was the cutest surprise!

In addition to that moment, we also took this time to do the first look between Daniella and her dad.

During this time, we captured one of my personal favorite photos of this day during this time. Without a doubt, it is a show-stopper of a photo of the bride and groom’s grandparents strolling into the ceremony location. What can we say? We are suckers for a genuine emotional moment!

Furthermore, the ceremony itself was complete with a continuation of beautiful blue details and lots of love.

Ryan was overwhelmed with emotion seeing his bride walk down the aisle. All of the warmth and sentiment paired wonderfully with a few anecdotes from grandpa, who was the officiant for the ceremony.

We loved all the personal touches throughout this special day at the Vista Valley Country Club.

Capturing Love Through Dreamy Photos

Excited to capture more of the romantic Tuscan feel of the Vista Valley Country Club, we took couple’s portraits featuring the ivy, iconic iron gate, and bold stone architecture.

The lines and greenery all around us made for beautiful and classic-feeling photos. Undoubtedly, it was a blast.

Before the couple headed into their reception, they watched the sunset from their suite’s balcony.

Especially, the reception was lively and teeming with high spirits. Daniella’s dad took the opportunity during his speech to congratulate the newlyweds, not only on their marriage but also on Ryan recently becoming a doctor.

The crowd looked on so tenderly over the couple, throughout their speeches and dances. To top it all off, they chose to make an exit with streamers rather than the traditional sparklers.
