Delta King Wedding Photography

After this couple's first look we stayed in the shade of the middle deck so that know one got too hot before the start of the ceremony. There's the fine line with doing some of the portraits before the ceremony.You still need to take some great pictures, but still need to keep everyone looking on point for the ceremony. Afterwards to you can take more risks and place them in the sunny areas longer on warm days. I just had them walk towards me holding hands, which always makes for great photos.

The Delta King Hotel is located right on the waterfront in Old Sacramento. The Delta King is the only waterfront wedding and event center in all of Sacramento. This huge and historical river boat is floating on the waters of the Sacramento River, which makes it such a unique venue location for special events. This riverboat was in services from 1927 to 1940, which was then used during war time as a accommodation ship. After sinking once and being left in shambles over the years the boat was eventually remolded and opened for services in Sacramento in 1989. It has been operating ever since has a hotel, restaurant and event center.

Wedding ceremonies can take place outside or inside the riverboat. The outside ceremonies take place on the lower dock right next the the boat and on the water with views of the Sacramento River. Ceremonies can also take place inside the boat in one of the many large banquet rooms on board. Inside is also where your reception, dinner and dancing will take place on your wedding day. Most of the receptions take place in the paddle room, which has an amazing and up close view of the boats giant paddle that use to power it up and down the rivers.

With the Delta King being located in Old Sacramento there are tons of photo opportunities close by for breath taking wedding photos. You have all the old shops, streets and alley ways right there. Then you have the Tower Bridge right there too within a short walking distance. If you don’t feel like leaving the boat there’s a ton of options in and around the boat for wedding photography.
