  Enjoy the slideshow. And remember, it is a show that requires Adobe Flash, so put down your iPhone or iPad and watch it on your main computer or one that supports Adobe Flash.  http://www.lisarichmondphotography.com/SHOWITSHOWS-/2014_ChathamHall   I just finished this year’s Graduation slideshow. I never know exactly how it is going to turn out or even what music I will use, but I have found over the years that if I just surrender to the creative process and let it happen, everything seems to fall into place. I am grateful for that. This year sifting through countless images, I’m struck…

I’ve been running into Matt alot on the “wedding circuit”.  First at Matt and Gretchen’s Fausel Ranch Wedding and then at Elisha and John’s Fausel Ranch Wedding. In fact, at Elisha and John’s wedding, he met Alex, who was a bridesmaid for Elisha. I remember taking a photograph of her looking at Elisha’s dress…. I know it is hard to keep up with but at the end of June I will get to photograph their wedding at Fausel Ranch(one of my favorite spots) while 2 of my past brides(Gretchen and Elisha- who will also both be very pregnant) stand by…

I knew from the moment I met Randi and Austin, that they were going to be a fun couple to photograph because, well, they were referred to me by my friend  Melinda (who is a pretty fun person herself!). Their engagement session confirmed that, AND their wedding was every bit as fun as I expected it to be- lots of love surrounding them by family and friends always makes for a warm, good time. Austin is a firefighter, so they chose The Firehouse in Old Sacramento to host their wedding. This was my first time shooting their and I loved…

Photographing a photographer; what a joy- two creative souls working toward a common end. And then the nerves of being watched. Hard to avoid those self judgements (“she must think I am crazy”).  I think Ashlynn and I both had nerves (for about 2 minutes) but that instantly dissipated into a creative jam session out in the field, me behind the camera and her in front. We were on a roll, we couldn’t stop and it was SO much fun. I LIVE FOR THAT FLOW! I’m not sure anything feels better than being in “the flow”. Working with Ashlynn was…

Marysue and Ty helped us buy our first home about 10 years ago. If you are in need of some real estate help, we loved working with them. Contact them here at Coldwell Banker,  I can personally recommend them. As soon as Marysue contacted me I was excited to do whatever I could to help them out. They were playing host for all of Marysue’s brothers and sisters to celebrate their dad, Grandpa Boumann’s,  90th birthday. This sounds like a relatively easy task, just hosting a family birthday party right? That is until you hear that Marysue has 3 brothers and…

I recently traveled out to Boulder, Colorado to celebrate my brothers 50th birthday. In true spirit, it was a weekend of great music. We started at the Boulder Theatre on Saturday night for the Mark Vann Foundation Benefit which was an awesome lineup of musicians including Great American Taxi, Todd Snider and so many more! We then moved into the big ol birthday bash the next night with some of the same folk as well as a few others including my nephew, Tristan’s band, my niece Azures boyfriend, Scott’s band(whew, did you follow that?), Magic Bean and Taarka with Jim…

John & Elisha exchanged their vows at the beautiful Fausel Ranch in Placerville on a warm day in July. Ever have one of those couples that everyone you speak with that day has nothing but kind words to say about them-about how generous and fun loving the two of them are as individuals and together? It seemed this way to me…even heard a story about John driving up in a moment’s notice(over an hour away) because he heard his friend was working on building a deck by himself. Apparently he stayed till midnight helping. His friend said, “that’s just the…

Mandi & John love coming up to the mountains to ski & snowboard – so they had their wedding at Heavenly Ski Resort in South Lake Tahoe! I enjoy getting the opportunity to photograph in new locations and especially at the top of a mountain overlooking Lake Tahoe- I’ve got a great job! Mandi and John are easy going and clearly have surrounded themselves with folks who love and care about them. Mandi’s sister Jenny personalized and performed the ceremony while matron of honor, Brittany heroically caught flower arrangements being taken down by the high country wind. All of their…

Trevor & Brielle were married at “The House on the Hill”, the home of Brielle’s parents, Irene and Alan in Greenstone. They have all been working very hard since January to get ready for the wedding not to mention a complete home landscaping, patio building and gazebo raising (what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger…right?) June 19 was a warm and breezy day. We all knew how lucky we were that the temperature was around 80, when it could have so easily been 100+ degrees. My assistant Cassie and my friend Jaime from Rose Street Studio were helping me out…
