GARDEN INN AND SUITES WEDDING | FRESNO, CA

This Garden Inn and Suites wedding in Fresno, CA was an intimate ceremony with 30 of the bride and groom’s closest friends and family. Donna and Ted live in Hong Kong and were married there in December 2021. Their family here weren’t able to make it to Hong Kong for the wedding, specifically Ted’s grandmother. His aunt and uncle, hosted a small ceremony at their motel so their local family could witness their vows.

When you first arrive at the Garden Inn and Suites you’d think it was just like any other roadside motel, but it’s not! It is meticulously kept with lush gardens all throughout the grounds! You can find a wide variety of fruit trees growing everywhere. It was amazing, and made for some amazing portraits!

After Donna and Ted exchanged vows, their guests enjoyed Charcuterie and cocktails. Meanwhile, an amazing spread of food was prepared on site by I Cook Teppan. The menu consisted of a green salad and miso soup for starters followed by a buffet of lobster tail, beef tips, chicken, fried rice, noodles, and steamed vegetables. After everyone was fed, the warm August night was cooled down with some delicious ice cream scoops!

I am so excited to share this intimate wedding with you. I hope you will see through these images how much fun Donna and Ted are. It was such a pleasure to meet them and photograph these memories for them. An amazing team of vendors put this event together, be sure to check them out!
