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.

Memorable Monday - Minnesota Adventure

We've heard it said that October is to Photographers what April is to Accountants. This is totally true, Fall time is always so busy for us. That's when we schedule most of our following year's engagement photo sessions, book commercials for the Winter and have most of our meetings for next year's potential weddings. There always seems to be a lot of traveling to be had these Fall months as well. We're grateful for the busyness but excited to "slow down" during the holidays. For those that run their own business, you know there really isn't a "slow season". Just a less busy season where our focus shifts from weddings every weekend. For us, we always like to use that time to dream and evaluate the systems and workflows we have in place.

All of their nieces and nephews were included in the wedding festivities and looked so cute all dressed up.

Sacramento Wedding Videography - Jamie&Cheryl

Every time we visit the cathedral in downtown Sacramento we're in awe of the beauty, the architecture, and the atmosphere. You can hear it at the beginning of this film. As Jaime&Cheryl's cantor sang Ave Maria, the melody echoed throughout the walls of the towering cathedral, it was beautiful. We loved how Jaime&Cheryl included family in their ceremony from readings, to their grandmother playing the piano. The bridesmaids and groomsmen got ready at the Citizen on J Street. We love this hotel for its unique decor and great natural light. The girl's room had a picturesque balcony with aerial views of the city below.

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.

Butte Meadows Camping Adventure 2017

Butte Meadows is located about 45 minutes from where we live in Chico and the perfect escape into the mountains. It's also one of our favorite areas for engagement sessions. There are amazing hiking and off-roading trails with spectacular views of Mount Shasta and miles of miles of tall pine trees reaching for the sky.

Trentadue Winery Wedding Photographer - Eric&Abby

This venue is absolutely breathtaking! It provides a diverse variety of portrait locations including amazing rows of vines, tall woodsy Redwoods that line the property, to a full ivy wall. Wedding ceremonies take place on the grassy field facing the beautiful rolling Napa hills and it is completely shaded by the tall redwoods so guests stay cool. Right next to the gorgeous cocktail hour area, is the indoor reception ballroom. This ballroom has big windows for natural light and clean white walls that are perfect for indoor flash photography for when it gets dark. That's a photographers dream! Eric&Abby are big wine and food enthusiasts and enjoy being wine club members in the Santa Rosa Healdsburg area. They also love the outdoors and hiking so Trentadue Winery was a perfect fit for their intimate wedding.

It was a beautiful June morning and Steven&Andie were across town from one another getting ready. Steven, at his parent’s place, lounging by the pool and in the “man cave”. Andie, at her parent’s house, surrounded by bridesmaids and family. The morning time was peaceful, but with an eager anticipation for what was to come.

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.
