After the ceremony we took all of our family photos and released everyone to go to cocktail hour. Unfortunately we don't have any pictures from cocktail hour since the photographers were with us but it took place on the patio overlooking the golf course and pond. Guests were greeted with cocktails, a couple passed appetizers and lawn games. We really wanted our guests to have a good time so we were very into having lawn games at cocktail hour, there was: giant Jenga, corn hole, ladder golf and ring toss.
While our guests were enjoying drinks and games we took off with our wedding planner and photographer in golf carts to take our sunset portraits. When we picked our venue they let us know they always liked to take their couples up to the top tee that has an amazing overlook for pictures. Also we booked our photographer largely because his specialty is the portraits of couples after the ceremony.
Us quite literally riding off into the sunset, on our golf cart!
On our way up the mountain our photographer had us pull off to the side in some tall grass to take these, the backdrop colors and the lighting turned out so dreamy, I love them
The rest of these were taken on two different rocks on the mountain, I have seriously never seen views like this in my life we were in awe the entire time we were taking the photos. There were amazing views in both directions the ones you see behind us in the pictures and the ones in front of us looking back towards the venue.

It was such an intimate moment and you could really feel the love and energy in the place. At San Francisco wedding venues they had out sparkling water, wines, champagnes, etc. for all of us upon arrival, and provided dishes and serving utensils for the bagels and other snacks we brought.
