Derek had one request from his group of friends: make sure whoever they give the extra concert ticket to, is a hot girl. Well it turns out, that Sarina got that extra ticket and Derek got his wish.
Her sister, Bree, invited Sarina to come along with her group of friends. Sarina almost didn’t go because she was worried that she would feel like an outsider in the close-knit group of friends who were attending. She couldn’t have been more wrong. Sarina and Derek hit it off. She had an amazing time at the concert, and she gained some new friends.
Derek and Sarina started dating afterward and frequented Korean karaoke bars, attended more concerts together, and simply enjoyed each other’s company. Sarina’s family welcomed Derek into their own, and vice versa. Fast forward a few years, and Derek and Sarina are engaged to be married!
On a warm, beautiful day in Alpine, CA the happy couple made it official. Derek and Sarina got married at Campbell Creek Ranch Estate in Alpine, CA. The wedding venue is a historic site, and a dream to photograph, with lush greenery everywhere, rustic decor, and amazing landscapes that looked as though we weren’t in drought-stricken Southern California. Below are some photos of their amazing wedding day.
The bride wore unique wedding shoes that fit the ranch surroundings perfectly!
Sarina wore a beautiful jewel headpiece that complimented her side-swept hair.
Campbell Creek Ranch is an amazing wedding venue and perfect for nature lovers and unique bride and grooms like Derek and Sarina.
