Chico Engagement Photography - Jason&Rachel

Jason&Rachel met in Chico while going to college here. Their first date was to Mom's, a very popular breakfast spot here in Chico. Since that restaurant is extremely special to them, it will be the same catering place that will be serving their wedding guests next year. Stephen and I also love breakfast and has become our favorite meal to go on a date to. We love that Jason&Rachel share this in common with us and think it's so great that they are including this special date into their wedding theme for guests to enjoy. Now every time we go to breakfast, we'll be thinking about Jason&Rachel and the first date they had together.

Castro Valley Engagement Photographer - Adam&Kasey

Kasey is from Chico where our home base is and attended Chico State while being a student-athlete on the track team. She went to Chico High just like me (go Panthers) and was an incredible athlete in high school as well. It was at Chico State that she met Adam. Adam was a decathlete on the track team and it was there that they began dating. After graduating from Chico State, they both moved to the Bay Area for their careers and to continue their love story together!

Auburn Winery Engagement Photography - Chris&Courtney

Chris&Courtney live relatively close to Auburn and are preferred wine club members at some wineries along the Auburn Wine Trail. It is their go-to outing with friends and family. It is along the wine trail that Courtney and her mom stumbled upon Vina Castellano where we took their engagement photos at. Vina Castellano is an award-winning boutique winery in Placer Country run by the sweetest Spanish family who we had the pleasure of meeting while exploring around the property. Chris&Courtney met us there and we started our session with a delicious glass of award-winning wine. Chris&Courtney walked hand in hand exploring the property with us and we ended the session with the most beautiful sunset with light glowing through the big oak trees.

Baker Beach San Francisco Engagement Photos - Jake&Lauren

San Francisco is one of our favorite cities to visit and photograph our couples at. Every time we go and explore, we're amazed by the new locations and backdrops we always seem to stumble upon. San Francisco is well known for the iconic Golden Gate Bridge pictured below and all around that area are amazing scenic views that showcase the shoreline and amazing cityscape. Baker Beach is one of those locations that is perfect for watching the sunset while enjoying the beauty of the Bay Area.

Northern California Engagement Photos - Adam&Samantha

These two grew up in the small town of East Nicolaus just outside of Sacramento. They dated in high school but went their separate ways in college until reconnecting again. Small towns have a way of bringing people back together at the right time and place and that totally was true for Adam and Samantha.

Northern California Engagement Photo Session - Tim&Amanda

Tim works on the property where we took their engagement photos out in Willows, CA and we had the most amazing glowy light for sunset photos. Tim&Amanda met shortly after graduating high school. On a summer night, they just so happened to be attending the same Miranda Lambert concert where their friend groups crossed paths. Even though they both grew up in small towns with rival high schools just outside of Chico and had some of the same friends, they had never met. A few weeks later, through Instagram, they exchanged numbers and soon went on their first date. Throughout dating, they've put their faith first and are so excited to get married on Tim's grandparent's property out in Orland next year!

Butte Meadows Mountain Engagement Session - David&Delphine

Stephen and I first fell in love with the woodsy feel in Northern California when doing our annual Christmas Tree cutting adventures with friends that Butte Meadows is known for. For David&Delphine, the surrounding reminds them of McCloud, where they're getting married at next fall!

Cascade Mountain Engagement Session - Jesse&Ashley

We love exploring new places and for Jesse&Ashley’s engagement session, we headed to the Cascade Mountains near Quincy California.

Destination Chicago Kinzie St. Bridge Engagement Photos - Miles&Bailee

Miles and Bailey are from California and will be getting married in Sacramento this December. They recently moved to Chicago from Arizona for Bailey’s clinical rotation. That’s a huge climate change but it was such a treat for us to escape Chico’s hot summer days for a weekend in Chicago. This is the second time we’ve traveled to Chicago for a destination engagement session and we absolutely love this city! The views are breathtaking and the city is so walkable. Not to mention the world famous deep dish pizza we indulged in after their photo session. It’s a must visit for us again!

Clearlake California Engagement Photos - Eric&Abby

Eric&Abby are from the Bay Area and getting married at Trentadue Winery this fall. Their wedding venue is absolutely gorgeous and after spending time with these two, we totally see how it fits them perfectly! Both Eric&Abby are fans of hiking, rock climbing, and enjoying good wine. The venue in near Santa Rosa in the valley but surrounded by beautiful mountains. When scheduling their engagement session, Clearlake was in between Chico and their home in the Bay Area so it was just perfect! The area has many outdoor hiking trails and of course the gorgeous lake that brings many from all over for summer vacationing and outdoor activities.
