Ariana & Jordan’s Callaway Vineyard & Winery Wedding


There’s something truly special about capturing love stories that unfold across different corners of the world. As an Irish wedding photographer, I’ve had the incredible privilege of documenting love in so many breathtaking places, but Ariana and Jordan’s journey was one for the books. From their romantic engagement session in Italy to their stunning wedding at Callaway Vineyard & Winery in California, every moment of their love story felt like fate working its magic.

A Relaxed Morning & Emotional First Look


The morning of their wedding was beautifully calm, filled with laughter and quiet moments as they prepared for the day ahead. Ariana and Jordan chose to have a first look before their ceremony, a private and intimate moment that allowed them to truly soak in the emotions of the day. As Jordan turned to see Ariana for the first time, his face lit up with pure joy, and tears welled up in both of their eyes. It was a moment of love, anticipation, and deep connection: one that set the perfect tone for the rest of the celebration.

A Wedding That Crossed Oceans


When Ariana and Jordan invited me to photograph their wedding in California, I was beyond honoured. Having already had the pleasure of capturing their engagement session in Italy, I knew their wedding would be just as beautiful, deeply personal, and rich with culture. And it did not disappoint! Their day was a perfect blend of timeless elegance, heartfelt traditions, and an atmosphere bursting with joy. The vineyard’s golden light, rolling hills, and lush surroundings provided the most romantic setting imaginable for a couple as wonderful as these two.

A Serendipitous Beginning


Ariana and Jordan’s love story began in Eugene, Oregon, at the University of Oregon, where fate decided to play its hand. One seemingly small moment—a shared seat on the bus and a simple offer of a mint—ignited a spark that would lead them down a path neither of them could have predicted. Their playful banter, fuelled by their passion for rival basketball teams (Oregon Ducks vs. Arizona Wildcats—Jordan still claims a rematch is needed!), turned into something undeniably real. It was clear from the start that these two were meant for each other.


From that moment on, their journey was filled with serendipitous moments. Their first date at a vegan restaurant (Jordan, not a vegan, but completely willing to step outside his comfort zone for Ariana) extended into a night of sweet treats and cozy conversations at local favourites. The more time they spent together, the clearer it became—they had found their person.

A Wedding Filled With Love & Tradition


When it came time to plan their wedding, Ariana and Jordan knew they wanted a celebration that honoured their love, backgrounds, and the traditions that shaped them. With Jordan’s Jewish heritage playing a significant role, they carefully wove meaningful rituals into their day, from signing the ketubah to breaking the glass. Their beautiful chuppah, adorned with lush florals, stood as a symbol of their new life together, and the lively hora dance brought guests of all backgrounds together in pure celebration.


Beyond tradition, their wedding was also a reflection of their personalities: their warmth, their laughter, and their ability to make everyone around them feel like family. Every detail, from the candlelit tables to the carefully curated music, told a piece of their story.

Looking Back


Photographing this wedding felt like so much more than just a job. It was an experience, a journey, and a reminder of why I love what I do. Being flown out from Ireland to document their love story, from their dreamy Italian engagement session to this unforgettable wedding day, was an honor I’ll always cherish.


Ariana and Jordan, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. Your love is a beautiful reminder that sometimes, fate has the most incredible plans for us. Here’s to a lifetime of adventures, laughter, and, of course, rematches on the basketball court!


With love,


- Sarah x
