Amy & Sam at the Muckenthaler Mansion

August 2, 2025 · Muckenthaler Mansion, Fullerton

A Muckenthaler Mansion Wedding in Fullerton

Amy and Sam were introduced by a friend who thought they might get along. A dinner turned into a few more dates, and things grew naturally from there. Amy is warm and thoughtful, Sam is calm and supportive, and together they laugh at silly voices and inside jokes. They married on August 2, 2025 at the Muckenthaler Mansion in Fullerton, with a ceremony in the Italian Garden and a reception on the Adella Lawn. Here is their Muckenthaler Mansion wedding, photographed by One and Only Production.

The Details

Amy's flat lay kept everything soft and green: a sage invitation suite, Byredo Blanche perfume, their rings and a handwritten vow card tucked into white roses and greenery.

First Look by the Mansion Steps

Amy walked up the garden path and tapped Sam on the shoulder at the foot of the mansion steps, and the hug that followed set the tone for the whole day.

Portraits Around the Muckenthaler

The Muckenthaler is a Spanish style mansion with a curved staircase, a carved entrance and palm lined gardens. Later in the day Amy and Sam changed into second looks for a few golden hour portraits on the lawn.

Ceremony in the Italian Garden

The ceremony was held in the Italian Garden under an iron arbor wrapped in greenery. Both mothers walked in wearing hanbok, Amy read her vows to Sam, and they walked back up the aisle to cheers.
