Sonora Wedding Photographer | Sonora Opera Hall Wedding | Christine Dibble Photography - Sonora CA, Photographer: Christine Dibble

I met Caitlin last year, right after she got engaged to discuss photographing her Sonora Opera Hall wedding. As she described the groom, Chika, and explained some of the wedding plans, I knew this was going to be a fun wedding! I finally got to meet Chika at their engagement shoot at Indigeny Reserve, and I could see that he and Caitlin were a perfect match right away. They both have the best sense of humor, and they love to laugh together. At the first look, Chika’s jaw dropped, and then he had to take a moment to compose himself. It was so sweet! Chika is from Nigeria, so their wedding had lots of color and some Nigerian customs thrown in. The ceremony took place at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church in Lambert Lakes. After that, the crowd moved on to the Opera Hall for the reception. Three B’s Event Planning decorated the hall beautifully with fairy lights and sit-down and cocktail tables. Lunch Lady Catering provided a few different food stations including a baked potato bar and a slider bar where guests could eat as they pleased. After toasts, dancing to Sound Extreme’s music, and cake from Cornerspace Cakes, the newlyweds were whisked off in their limo for their honeymoon.
