Darlene & Reece

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  It was less than a week ago, but seems so much further back to me now that Christmas season is in full swing.  My tree is decorated and outdoor lights are up...I love all the sparkly things that come out this time of year!  :)

On to the important stuff.  I have so many other sessions/weddings to share, but I just finished this wedding and I'm so excited that I decided it gets to go next!

Reece and Darlene were married way up north in the town of Challenge, CA -- or rather near the town, at the Woodleaf Young Life camp.  Such a gorgeous place.  And perfect weather!

Darlene is a fellow photographer (and a good one!), and she and Reece made sure to allow plenty of time for bride/groom portraits before the wedding.  We wandered all over the camp and found all sorts of wonderful settings.  Good times!

Helen and Graham's wedding

Helen and Graham tied the knot amid the redwoods in Fairfax, CA, this summer.  We had a grand time doing photos beforehand in a nearby park and quaint downtown Fairfax.

These two are hilarious!  They kept me in stitches during their engagement session, and their wedding and reception were sincere and light-hearted, just like they are.  I love their adventurous spirit -- totally willing to do whatever it takes for a good photo.  It makes me feel so special to be trusted like that.  :)  Thanks, Graham and Helen!

All God's best to you two!  Enjoy life together!

Chris & Shannon

Chris and Shannon were married on a beautiful sunny day in Colorado...just after a snowstorm dumped a couple feet of snow on everything (and caused flight delays, and otherwise scrambled people's travel plans...but they all made it!).

It was a perfect "bluebird day" filled with sunshine, snow, and lots of friends of the happy couple.  I'm so thrilled Chris and Shannon found each other.  God clearly has a hand on these two lives!

Tim and Jenny - photos coming soon!

This adorable couple of lovebirds got married the day after Shannon and Chris (below) -- which is why I'm a bit backlogged right now!  But here's one photo to tide you over till I can catch up a bit.  (More on Facebook, if you've visited my page there!)  This was our last photo of the day, as they left the reception...a romantic moment in the moonlight.  :)

Can't wait to share more.  :)

Shannon and Chris - coming soon!

Last week I took a super-quick trip to Colorado to photograph Chris and Shannon's wedding...it was perfect timing, a lovely sunny day *just* after a blizzard dumped two or three feet of snow!  (That's perfect God timing!)

More photos are coming, but here's a start...

Also coming soon, photos of Tim and Jenny's wedding!  Lots to share...as soon as I can!

Amy and Kevin's wedding - preview!

Happy New Year, everyone!  It's a time for new beginnings...and the very best kind of beginning?  A wedding of course!

Kevin and Amy were married this weekend in Jackson, CA.  I've known Amy and her family for a long time, and it was incredible to see her so happy -- she and Kevin are such a perfect fit!

I'll be working through the photos in the next week or two and posting more, but meanwhile, here are a few to get started...

We had the most gorgeous weather in the morning, and then it got cloudy around 11am.  SO grateful we got to photograph on this hillside while it was sunny -- God had everything worked out!

 

This is after they'd been married for about ten minutes...I love how they're just glowing with happiness...

 

Historic downtown Jackson is a fun place for photos...can't wait to share more!

Another "moonlight magic" photo - Tyler and Missy

So after the photo in this post, there was still more awesomeness to come...Missy's uncle, Jeff Roeder, brought his well-loved 1956 Chevy.  I love this photo of the newlyweds in the moonlight.

Carla and Kevin were married on Saturday!  It was last fall when we got together for their engagement session at UC Davis, and now the big day has finally come...I've been looking forward to photographing this wedding for quite a while!

I've been sitting here trying to narrow down a huge collection of photos from this wonderful day, and it's really hard!  So here's just a sneak peek to begin with, and a more complete blog post will be on its way in a couple days.  Enjoy!

Kevin and Carla's "First Look" on their wedding day.  Love the anticipation on his face!

 

And on her face...

 

It's wonderful to see my cousin so happy. And my new cousin, her husband!

 

Then we went to the Capitol grounds and spent a while there...I can't think of many better places to photograph a wedding party!!  Green grass, flowers, filtered sunlight, and trees of all shapes and sizes.  Can't wait to share more of these.

 

More later!
