Rachel + Evan - Chateau St. Jean - Kenwood CA
Before the larger festivities began, the couple gathered with their closest family members for the Ketubah signing—a quiet, deeply moving moment that grounded the day in their rich heritage and set a poignant tone for the celebration to follow.
Set against the magnificent backdrop of the estate's classic French-inspired architecture and sweeping Sonoma vineyards, their outdoor ceremony was an absolute vision. The beautiful summer weather provided the perfect setting as they exchanged their vows, culminating in the traditional glass breaking and a resounding, joyful chorus of "Mazel Tov!" that echoed across the estate grounds.
As evening fell, the celebration moved onto Chateau St Jean’s expansive, lush lawn for a reception under the open sky. The romantic wine country atmosphere quickly transformed into an epic party, kicked off by a wildly fun and exhilarating Hora dance. Watching Rachel and Evan being lifted high on chairs above a sea of cheering, laughing friends and family was an unforgettable highlight. We were incredibly honored to document the seamless blend of sacred customs, undeniable love, and electric dance floor energy that made their wedding truly spectacular.
