A Vibrant Disco Garden Party

As Sonoma wedding photographers, we get to see a lot of fun (and gorgeous) weddings, but Erin and Chris’ day? Fun CENTRAL. Think wildflowers, disco balls, and the longest day of the year—basically, a dream come to life. Their wedding at The Barn at Harrow Cellars was a perfect mix of fun, color, and pure joy, and we can’t wait to tell you all about it. We recently chatted with them and absolutely loved hearing the backstory and design inspiration behind all of their wedding plans 🙂

Erin & Chris’ Wedding at The Barn at Harrow Cellars

The Outfits: A Little Bit of Something Old, Something New

Erin’s dress had its own little love story. “The wedding dress I picked was actually the first one I ever tried on. And while I didn’t purchase that day, I actually found a previous bride selling it on Stillwhite.com. I was excited to give that dress a second life.” (Jenny Woo) Even her reception dress was a secondhand find from Poshmark (Park & Fifth). Sustainable, stylish, and totally stunning.

Chris, on the other hand, had one very specific request—a suit in a color he didn’t already own. “He really pushed for this lighter blue, and I think that made it special too. Plus, it fit the vision of lots of color!” And honestly, he looked amazing.

 

Trying to pick a favorite moment from this wedding is nearly impossible, but Erin and Chris had some definite standouts. “We did private vows in our first look, and for me, that moment was one of my favorites,” Erin said. “It was the most intimate, but also one of the most calming for me. Once I saw Chris, heard his vows that made me cry just a little, but laugh a lot, I felt so excited to marry him.”

 

 

A Venue as Dreamy as Their Love Story

When Erin and Chris first saw The Barn at Harrow Cellars, they fell in love with how naturally beautiful it was. “We loved that it was naturally so beautiful,” Erin told us. “I wanted to lean into the brightness and all the wildflowers that they had on site! And getting married on the longest day of the year in summer, I had a vision of a disco garden party, with lots of colorful flowers and touches of fun and disco balls all over.”

 

They nailed it. The place was bursting with bright, happy colors—pinks, oranges, blues, corals—and their florist, Kristin from Gather & Kin, made sure every petal, every detail, was pure magic. Add in the mini disco balls scattered around the tables, and it was the perfect mix of whimsical and funky.

Handmade Details That Made It Extra Special

Erin is a product designer, so she went all out on the wedding signage. “I created the design system for all the signs—welcome table, bar menus, guest books, desserts—all with pops of color,” she said. Her father-in-law, who’s an artist, helped print and mount everything, making the whole setup feel polished but still super personal.

And then there were the koozies. “My sister, Corey, has always knit koozies for me and my family as a fun hobby. So when I first started planning, I had the idea to have homemade koozies as a wedding guest gift—practical and a homemade touch! However, I didn’t know how to knit.”

Instead of scrapping the idea, Erin and her other sister learned how to knit and spent seven months making 110 koozies in their wedding colors. “It definitely took longer than we expected, but I was so proud of the collection of koozies and patterns we had. And our guests LOVED them.” Talk about a labor of love!

 

A Kid-At-Heart’s Dessert Dreams Come True

Folktable Catering brought their A-game for the food, serving up bao buns, avocado toast bites, pupusas, salmon, and chicken entrees. But let’s talk about the desserts because they were next level.

To top it off, Erin’s sister Samantha (who also happens to be an incredible baker) made their funfetti and chocolate wedding cake, keeping with the bright and colorful theme. And, of course, it was delicious.

 

And then there was the champagne spray. Yep, you read that right. Big Formula 1 fans, they wanted a podium-style champagne spray moment at the reception. “My sister surprised us with Pirelli hats, and Chris had so much fun with it!” It was the perfect way to kick off the dance floor, which stayed packed all night.

 

The Most Joyful Day Under the Summer Sun

Erin and Chris’ wedding at The Barn at Harrow Cellars was everything a summer wedding should be—vibrant, full of love, and overflowing with personality. From their private vows to their handmade details and a dance floor that never quit, it was a day that truly reflected them. Cheers to Erin and Chris, their beautiful love story, and the happiest disco garden party ever!

 

 

As Sonoma wedding photographers, it’s weddings like this that remind me why we love what we do. Capturing all these little moments—the quiet, the wild, and everything in between—is such a blast.
