Another beautiful wedding at the Wedgewood Sequoia! This time for Sheri and Mike, who tied the knot after 6 years together. Like all brides and grooms, Sheri and Mike were experiencing some “showtime” nerves on their big day and I was grateful to have spent some time with them during their engagement session to learn more about what makes them laugh and relax in front of the camera. I also confess to having had a little extra help from Mike’s fifteen year old daughter, Cassie, who was also part of the wedding party. This was just a bright, fun, and…

This was such a beautiful wedding for Jean and Bruce, who married recently at the Wedgewood Sequoia in Placerville. Their wedding brought together two families of different cultures, and the bride’s three children, Miguel, Paolo, and Alaina, who all took part in the wedding. The day began with Jean getting ready at the lovely Seasons Bed and Breakfast which is a gorgeous, remodeled historic house furnished with 18th century European furniture, and surrounded by beautiful porches and gardens –  a photographer’s candy store! The patio and gazebo were also the perfect setting for the couple’s “First Look”. Jean and Bruce are such…

The Fausel Family are near-and-dear to my hearts not least because I have had the privilege of photographing many amazing weddings at their ranch in the past few years. Fausel Ranch is simply one of the most beautiful and friendly wedding locations to work at in El Dorado County and, through those weddings, I have had the honor of becoming a friend of the Fausel family. In addition to photographing two Fausel family weddings (check out Mark + Sharlot and Albert + Melissa) in the past, Deanna and David have been kind enough to refer numerous other close family and friends to…

It was a beautiful April day for Courtney and Chris’ wedding at the Wedgewood Sequoia.  Despite a hiccup with the bride’s dress that meant she had to switch gowns in the final days, everything was simply perfect – including their amazing purple and gold cake with peacock feathers. Courtney and Chris clearly wanted a day that was focused on them and their love and that’s just what they got. You can see from  their playfulness in the grass outside the Sequoia and the way that they continually kissed during their first dance, that they’re going to be so incredibly happy…

Dulce and Jorge’s wedding at the Wedgewood Sequoia last month was a beautiful joining of two families, bringing together not only the bride and groom but three girls as sisters: Dulce’s daughters, Mia and Karina, and Jorge’s daughter, Kennedy. Jorge’s proposal last year was quite the romantic affair. He took Dulce on a horse and carriage ride through Central Park in New York, accompanied by a dozen red roses and a paparazzi-like photographer that followed along on a skateboard. Then, at a perfectly-researched spot, with the New York skyline as backdrop, he dropped to one knee and asked Dulce to…

As you might remember, last month I photographed Jodi and Jeremy’s wedding at Wedgewood Sequoia in Placerville. I am honored to have been chosen to be the preferred referral for the venue and in turn, get to work with a fine team of professionals. Here is the back story: Helping to turn a very important day around for one of my brides…. I received a few requests to see more images from this wedding as I think the story of Jodi’s wedding day “nightmare” struck a compassionate chord in many of you. It really seems inexcusable, but unfortunately not unheard…
