Melissa and Brett

Melissa and Brett met downtown and quickly hit it off! They exchanged numbers and went on their first date at Zakuros Sushi in Lincoln. They have been together for over two years now and love to workout, try new things, and spend time together and love on their pup! While on a trip to Portland, Melissa and Brett went on a long hike and visitied a beautiful waterfall. When they reached the waterfall Brett got down on one knee and popped the question! They were so much fun to work with and so effortlessly photogenic during their engagement shoot! We started at Capital Park and walked to the Rose Garden, then we drove over to the Old Sacramento Bridge to catch a beautiful sunset! We are so excited to share their engagement session and even more excited for their wedding at the Flower Farm Inn in Loomis!! Enjoy!!!

Lisa & Kyle

                To do a First Look or not to do a First Look. That is a question a lot of engaged couples face and we are here to give you the answer! Lisa and Kyle came to us a little over a month before their wedding day, they weren’t even going to have a big wedding but when their family found out they might do a quick ceremony at city hall, they interveined. A lot of people don’t realize this when they say, “Yes!” to their fiancee and start planning their wedding, but they soon realize that a wedding day is not just about the couple. While you should always do what makes YOU happy, remember that a wedding day is a chance for your friends and family to celebrate your union; it’s a chance for your Dad to give you away; it’s a chance for your best friends to show you how much you mean to them and how much they love you as a couple; and it’s obviously a chance for all your friends and family to get together and PARTY!!! Keeping all of that in mind, Kyle and Lisa decided to have their wedding at Harmony Wynelands in Lodi, California and they expressed that they were so happy they chose to do so. Given that they booked us so last minute, we were on a time crunch and could only squeeze 3 1/2 hours in! How did we get so many photos done in just 3 1/2 hours you ask…..that leads me into my previous question….to do a First Look or not.
If you are debating a First Look, our advice is DO IT!!! It saves so much time! So often when coupled don’t do a First Look, we stand around waiting for quite some time in between the getting ready photos and the ceremony and when we have to cram the bulk of the photos in after the ceremony, and let me tell you….your guests might not appreciate waiting an hour and a half for you to join the party. Because Lisa and Kyle did a First Look, we got all of the amazing photos of them and their Bridal party done before the ceremony even started, and they even had time to go freshen up before the ceremony. And, another huge bonus of the First Look, is that Lisa and Kyle were able to have a wonderful private moment before the ceremony. Kyle was able to tell Lisa how beautiful she looked and really soak in the moment rather than being focused on the ceremony and everyone’s eyes on them. They could have an intimate moment and hold each other and kiss. Plain and simple, we would not have been able to get all the photos we did in the short time we had if they had not done a First Look. And, the sister of the groom, who acted as not only wedding planner but the officiant, also busted her behind to hustle to make sure that Lisa and Kyle got all the important moments captured before we had to leave.
Lisa and Kyle’s wedding went off without a hitch and their love and joy was simply infectious!!! They were so much fun to work with and we can’t wait to work with them again, maybe for a maternity shoot?? 😉 We hope you enjoy their photos and if you are debating a First Look, don’t hesitate, do it!!!

Molly & Brent’s Foresthill Wedding

Molly and Brent got married at the Foresthouse Lodge in Foresthill, Ca and it was nothing short of enchanted! This venue had so much to offer, so many unique rooms, a beautiful ceremony cite surrounded by tall majestic Pine Trees, a wonderful reception area, and all around beautiful decor! The decor and the site itself fit Molly and Brent’s love for the outdoors and their fun vibrant nature perfectly! We really can’t say enough nice things about this couple. Andy and I were in a car accident only two weeks before their wedding and were definitely feeling the effects of our whiplash and our post concusssion and Molly, who is a Nurse, was so sweet and considerate and kept asking us, US, if we were okay on HER big day! She was such an easy going Bride and didn’t let anything phase her and was practically glowing with happiness all day! Brent was so great and was such a good sport about taking photos even though we knew he would rather be at the reception. They are such a lovely couple and we were honored to photograph their special day! This was an incredibly fun wedding for us and we hope you enjoy their photos as much as we enjoyed taking and editing them!!

Jessica & Troy’s Bailey Barn Wedding

Jessica & Troy’s Bailey Barn wedding was so magical and spectacular, we are so excited to share some snipets with you! I mean, they had Harry Potter pages in the bouquet, a girl after my own heart!! Everything was so beautiful and no detail was left unfinished! Their cake was probably our favorite cake to date….how can you beat a home-made pie cake that the Bride’s own Mom made! Jessica and Troy were so clearly in love and all of their friends and family were so clearly overjoyed to celebrate their wonderful love! Two nerds at heart that are just way too perfect together! It was so much fun to work with these two and capture their day! When I think back on it, I just see glowing twinkling lights, and that is how the night felt! Enjoy their pictures!!!
