This spring, Alyssa and Dakota shared their vows at Saratoga Springs in Santa Clara County, surrounded by towering redwoods and the charm of a historic stone bridge. The ceremony took place on a sprawling lawn, where the open, natural setting reflected their love of the outdoors and provided a COVID-friendly space for everyone to feel safe.
Guests from nearby San Jose and beyond gathered to celebrate, filling the day with laughter and joy. The couple exchanged vows in front of family and friends, who were as much a part of the day’s story as the newlyweds themselves. “It always felt like this wedding was about more than just us,” they said. “It was about celebrating the community that’s supported us.”
The reception was a lively mix of dancing, laughter, and heartfelt moments under the redwoods. String lights and simple decor enhanced the natural beauty of the venue, creating a warm and intimate vibe. Dakota and Alyssa shared their first dance as newlyweds before inviting everyone to join in, turning the lawn into a vibrant dance floor.
