Jeff approached us a few months back about wanting us to be "in" on this special surprise, and we could not have been more excited! We started planning and dreaming right away. We all thought up a crazy idea for the proposal. What if we teamed up together with some other amazing wedding vendors in Chico to create a "styled shoot" and at the end Jeff would propose. If you're new to wedding photography, a styled shoot is where a bunch of vendors put their heads together to create awesomeness. It's a way to have fun, collaborate and display their work for all to see. It was the perfect plan to keep everything a secret from Alex, all while totally keeping her in the loop! We played it off by texting Alex asking if her and Jeff would be willing to "model" for our upcoming shoot. She then asked Jeff what he thought and he (knowing it was coming) was little resistant at first to throw her off, but then finally he gave in and agreed to the photo shoot.

We were so thrilled when Ned’s relatives contacted us about capturing his story in a short form documentary style as a gift for his eight grandchildren for Christmas. While we finished this piece a bit ago, we’ve had to keep it under wraps until today. We’re proud to present this amazing story of Ned Hawkins and how he saved four B-17 crew member’s lives in WWII. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the short film below.

Derrick&Heidi and Ted&Megan have been best friends for quite some time. They have gone on lots of double dates and because of their great friendship have decided to get married at the same place, at the same time, and on the same day! Yep, you read that right, a DOUBLE wedding! To be honest, when we first heard of this, we were a little skeptical, two couples sharing one day? But after meeting these four, hearing their stories and seeing them together it totally makes sense! Plus, they'll have Jodi from CES Weddings & Events helping coordinate to ensure everything runs smooth as ever! On top of that, Derrick and Megan are siblings, and both couples grew up together. If they had separate weddings, they'd have basically all the same guests and family there, why not combine for double the fun! For their double engagement session, we headed up the hill into Paradise and went to a gorgeously fall-colored local park. Derrick&Heidi started the session off and we ended with Ted&Megan after them. Not to mention, we got some awesome photos of the four of them together which was so fun!

Oh happy day, we are SO excited to share with you Travis&Karina's wedding today!
When two creatives meet it's a wonderful thing. According to their online bios, Travis writes and illustrates books and comics for kids (and post-kids), and Karina a lady of many metaphorical hats who is still figuring out how to explain what she does to her grandparents. If you looking for a fun internet adventure, we highly recommend checking out Travis and Karina's sites.
