Ryan and Hannah’s wedding at The General’s Daughter in Sonoma was a perfect blend of wine-country charm, heartfelt emotion, and all-night fun. From their playful morning in a vineyard-view Airbnb to the packed dance floor.
A Morning of Laughter and Vineyard Views
The day began at a gorgeous Airbnb surrounded by rolling vineyards, complete with a sparkling pool and a billiard table. It was the ideal spot for the bridal party to relax, laugh, and start the celebration early. The energy in the house was contagious—the wedding party brought the real fun with music, games, and plenty of toasts before the couple even said “I do.”
Ryan and Hannah chose to share their first look at the house where we did most of the family and wedding party photos.
Ceremony at The General’s Daughter
The celebration then moved to the historic General’s Daughter estate, where oak trees and lush gardens created a romantic backdrop. Their ceremony was both elegant and relaxed, filled with happy tears and laughter. Guests cheered as Ryan and Hannah exchanged vows under the soft glow of the late-afternoon sun.
From Heartfelt Speeches to an Epic Dance Floor
After cocktails and sunset portraits around the property’s ivy-covered walls, everyone headed inside for dinner. Heartfelt speeches brought both laughter and misty eyes, and the dance floor quickly turned into a high-energy party. Friends and family showed off epic moves, making the night as memorable as the ceremony itself.
