I met Anna and Alex for their Bodega Bay engagement session at her parents’ weekend property. It was my first time meeting them and all potential thoughts of nervousness were immediately squashed when I saw Anna’s genuinely happy smile and Alex’ easygoing mannerisms. The are simple said, “my people”. Lovers of nature, snowboarders, backpackers, and outdoorsmen. They are adventure seekers who enjoy life to the fullest and who chose the most beautiful and unique wedding venue, The Hideout, as the place where they would soon tie the knot. I’ve been drooling over the possibility of getting a Mountain Hardware Ghost Whisperer down jacket and when I saw Alex grab his off the kitchen chair, I knew I was meant to be their wedding photographer. We took the windiest and most beautiful road through Bodega, stopping along the way at old barns, vista laden fields, and finally ending up at the soothing blue waters of the Bodega coast. Their love and adoration for each other is evident and effortless. They are the kind of people you know have not only a love for each other, but also a like for each other. I am so thrilled to be capturing their wedding this weekend in Kirkwood and look forward to sharing memories from their wedding day soon.

Danielle and Jeff got married on a perfect Tahoe summer day at the Hyatt Regency in Incline Village. Now those of you that know me personally, know that Tahoe is my happy place. So you can imagine how thrilled to the core I was when I pulled up to Danielle and Jeff’s rooms to meet them for the first time. The most gorgeous couple ever getting married in my favorite place? Yes, yes, and yes again. Because they live out of state in Arizona, we didn’t get a chance to meet in person before their wedding day. Both families were so kind and gracious that it felt as if I’d known them forever. Danielle’s dress was absolutely epic and the entire bridal party knocked it out of the park with their classic style and swanky personalities. The most heartwarming part of the day besides the union of bride and groom, was the relationship Danielle and Jeff have with their daughter. Watching the love and bond between the three of them stole my heart. You can probably assume which image is my favorite from the day as you start to scroll through the images. Thank you for having me there to capture this memorable day for you and your families. I left Lake Tahoe that evening brimming with warm fuzzies.

Special thanks to Caity Hunt from Hyatt Lake Tahoe for organizing such a lovely event.

I met Katie and Kyle (that sounds lovely together doesn’t it) at Devere’s Irish Pub in downtown Sacramento for a chilly, overcast, winter engagement session. I really like to get my couples liquored up before shooting them. Just kidding…sort of. We started here because the pub is one of their favorite hang outs and a place where they spend a lot of time with friends. Making sessions meaningful by incorporating parts of their everyday lives just feels right. We strolled around downtown Sacramento and through the Capitol for a bit to round put our time together. I absolutely can’t wait to shoot their wedding this October in Northstar at Tahoe as it was clear by hanging out with them for a few hours, that their wedding is going to overflow with love and laughter.
