Our Wedding

Frederick and Sydney’s journey began in 2014 at the Black Leadership Retreat in Bodega Bay, California. As undergraduate students at the University of California, Davis, their paths had crossed before, but it was during this retreat that they truly connected. From that moment on, they built a friendship filled with laughter, support, and shared experiences that carried them through college.   After graduating and settling into life in Sacramento, they found themselves drawn to each other in a new way. What had always been an unshakable friendship evolved into something deeper, and they decided to take a leap and see where love could take them.  Years later, Frederick planned a special weekend getaway to Napa, one of their favorite places to escape together. But the biggest surprise came when he arranged a beautiful photo shoot back in Bodega Bay—where their story first began. At the final photo spot, with the ocean as their backdrop, Frederick got down on one knee and asked Sydney to spend forever with him.   Now, they can’t wait to celebrate their love with family and friends as they begin this next chapter together!

Our Story

Friday, January 16th 7-10PM - Welcome Reception Sunday, January 18th 4:30PM - Wedding Ceremony

Welcome Reception – All White To set the tone for the weekend, our welcome reception will be an all-white gathering. The look is meant to feel fresh, fun, and celebratory, and we would love for everyone to join in on the vibe. This is the one event where we ask guests to stick fairly closely to the color theme so the atmosphere feels cohesive and elevated. Wedding Ceremony – Coastal Tones & Hues For the ceremony, which will be held on a terrace overlooking the beach, we’re embracing a soft, coastal palette. Please feel free to choose from the palette in whatever way works best for you. This is not meant to be strict. The setting is coastal and relaxed, and we want everyone to feel comfortable. If you prefer lightweight attire, go for it; if you feel best in a full suit for more formal look, that’s absolutely welcome too. Whatever feels good to you within the coastal elevated vibe is perfect. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
