New Beginnings and a perfectly Placerville evening

My friends, Nate and Shelley are making it official on August 14 this year at the Sacramento Yacht Club. They will be surrounded by close friends and family and in fact, the cool thing is that their friends are my friends too! I don’t often photograph friends’ weddings mostly because I am not very good at multi tasking wedding photographer and wedding guest. In fact, I don’t think anyone is. It’s usually one or the other for me. If I’m photographing a wedding, that is where my brain is- I guess it is muscle memory and hard to turn off with a camera in my hand 🙂

Nate and Shelley are generous, caring and love to laugh and I’m very excited to do this for them.  They picked a Friday night and were willing to do all of their photography in advance of the ceremony.  Cruising around West Sac with them will be fun! After capturing what I am sure will be a memorable ceremony, I’ll slide down the dinosaur tail and join my family and “the crew” for the big celebration. (did anyone get the Flintstone reference?…whatever.)

These two are so full of love for each other…it is a beautiful thing to be around and well, also fun to capture as a photographer. It is one of the reasons why I love wedding photography. We had such a great time cruising around Placerville, making an evening of it and just being in the creative flow. Nate, also a photographer enjoyed taking some time on the other side of the camera…well, at least I hope he did…Of course he did- just some more time in his day to love on his fiancee!

After our session we joined friends at The Wine Smith on Main Street and then headed over to Bene for some pizza. A perfectly Placerville evening. Thank you! Oh, and thanks to Tasha, my assistant who can cruise around Placerville with the best of them!
