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!  :)

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!

An engaged school teacher...

So, at long last, I just finished editing Julie and Dan's engagement session.  What a bunch of fun photos!  They're such a fun-loving couple -- definitely the thing I like most about them.  :)  It makes them so much fun to photograph!

Julie is a school teacher, so when we were doing their engagement session in Old Sacramento, we did a couple photos at the old schoolhouse there.

 

 

Haha! Love the personality here! :)

One of our last few pics from the afternoon...and one of my favs.

Train!!

Dan and Julie

Here are a few more of the images from Dan and Julie's engagement session in Sacramento.  It was the middle of the day, typically the hardest time for photographers to get sweet light, but we found some!

Check out the light in Julie's eyes...so pretty.

 

Yes, they love each other... :) 

They both have such fun, easygoing personalities.  I can't wait to photograph the wedding next month!  There are lots more photos...I'll post more as I have them ready.  :)

On another note...I'm leaving in a few hours for Steven and Grace's wedding in Mexico!  Looking forward to photographing this wonderful couple and their family and friends.  They've picked out some beautiful photo locations and it's going to be just loverly.  :)  I'm not sure how much internet access I'll have, but I'll try to update here if at all possible!

Till next time...

Dan and Julie

I don't know about you, but when I think of Sacramento in July and the middle of the afternoon, I don't think calm and cool...and yes, it was HOT last Saturday.  I think Dan and Julie's engagement session gets the prize for the hottest one yet.  We roasted like Dan's famous peppers!  ;)  But we didn't let the heat stop us, and we got some awesome photos -- not to mention having a great time in the process!

I'm really looking forward to photographing Dan and Julie's wedding this fall.  They have a ton of personality and are really fun to work with.  Hope you enjoy this sneak peek...  :)
