Tim and Amanda were married on Tim's grandparent's beautiful historic property out in Orland called the Verboom Ranch. There was so much excitement and anticipation leading up to this amazing day it was contagious. We loved the energy everyone had around Tim and Amanda. Both Tim and Amanda come from big families and so most of their bridal party members were all related or super close friends from childhood. Tim even had his dad as his best man which just goes to show the kind of relationships these two value!

Chris and Courtney were married at the historic downtown Quincy Courthouse in Northern California. The Courthouse was breathtaking and had a three-story white marble staircase starting from the entrance that went up on either side. Close family and friends were seated on the bottom floor and others were invited to stand to get a beautiful aerial view of the couple sharing their vows together. As photographers, we loved how much natural light was everywhere. It was such a unique and unexpected ceremony location in this quaint little town.

Before my family moved out to California, we lived in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois called Wheaton. It was in Wheaton that we met the Whiteman family and Phil and I connected right away. After many years of fun memories, I moved out of state and didn't think I'd see these friends much again…

Tré&Brittany are amazing and kind people. They met while attending school in our hometown at Chico State. Fate had them placed in the same dorm. Brittany had just moved to Chico from growing up in Southern California and Tré from a tiny town Yreka just north of Chico. Although they met as freshman college students, it wasn't until the senior year that Tré moved into the apartment below Brittany and they became friends. They soon started spending a lot of time together and really enjoying each other's company. After a year of just being friends, they spent a few weeks apart from each other. After Brittany's parents dropped her off in Chico again, she went straight to see Tré. It was then that Brittany realized how much she truly cared for Tré.

Read MoreOver their engagement process, we always try to get to know our couples on a personal level. One of the ways we do that is at an engagement session. As we were taking those photos, we were talking about the importance of setting time aside and making date night a priority. Jason and Rachel expressed how they would do this almost every night and make sure they were on the same page as each other. They would go on walks and talk about their day! Those are such important patterns to get into before your married and it was inspiring for us to watch.
