Elegant Switzer Farm Wedding | Erin + Dan

When Erin + Dan first met at an outdoor bar in Sacramento, they never could have imagined just a short time later they would be exchanging at Switzer Farm in Westport, California. When I asked them to describe how they met and fell in love, here’s what Dan had to say:

”We met at an outdoor bar in Sacramento over a game of corn hole. We both still argue to this day on who won. Erin played soccer in college and when she heard my friends and I talk about our coed drinking soccer league she asked to play and the rest was history. I scored.”

I agree Dan, you definitely scored!

On a uniquely sunny November day in Westport, California, in front of their closest family and friends, with the pacific ocean as their backdrop, they celebrated the beginning of their new life together as husband and wife. And this Mendocino Wedding Photographer is beyond thrilled she grabbed herself an invite to the party!

The guests were greeted by Mendocino Outland with Welcome Tequila Shots, then ushered to the ceremony site down the garden path where we would witness a unique ceremony, with not only one, but two officiants, sports announcer style.

After exchanging their “I do's”, Erin + Dan shared a celebratory beer to seal the deal. Then we took a few photos together with Switzer Farm and the ocean in the background, then it was time to head to their reception tent where Dan would serenade their guests with his spectacular trombone playing. Then they would share their first dance and cut the cake. The night ended with a dance club vibe, complete with disco ball.

But don’t let me keep you any longer. Check it all out for yourself!
