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!

Reece & Darlene - engagement

This wedding is coming up fast!  I met up with Reece and Darlene in Sacramento a few weeks ago for some engagement portraits, and their wedding is next week!  We had a wonderful time wandering around the Capitol grounds and Old Sac.  This is one romantic couple, let me tell you.  The way they look at each other...it's the cutest thing.  :)

Looking forward to photographing their wedding soon!  :)

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!

Frank & Edith

Welllll so it's been a long and busy summer.  But who hasn't had a long and busy summer?  So that's no excuse for not posting.  Truth be told, I've been posting on Facebook and neglecting this blog, but that isn't fair to my readers who aren't on Facebook...so here goes!  Lots of catching up ahead!

To start off, here's a lovely older couple who celebrated a special wedding anniversary in June, and wanted portraits done to commemorate the occasion: Frank and Edith, still in love after 65 years!  (Yes, 65!!)
