Northern California Wedding Photographer

Karen and Erin got married at High Sierra Iris and Wedding Gardens in mid August. I hadn’t shot at that location in awhile and there were some beautiful upgrades to the property including uplighting on the trees behind the dance floor and a cool little cabana for the bar. Surrounded by family and friends Karen and Erin exchanged their vows and started the celebration of their married lives together. With details everywhere expressing their love of the outdoors, they seemed to choose vendors who were the same. It was a great team to work with. The event was coordinated by…

When a Fausel relative gets married it’s a big deal and this time it Mark and Sharlot’s turn. This was day two of my Fasuel Ranch Extravaganza with Deanna of Fausel Ranch, Dottie of Camino Flower Shop, and John of Old Town Grill. Chad Stalzer Productions joined us as well for the day – gotta love having a fun team to work with. The ranch couldn’t have been any more beautiful and neither could the bride! The night started with wine tasting in the barn where the couple could greet their guests prior to their ceremony- what a special touch! The…

What can I say about Matt and Alex’s wedding? This was day one of my ‘Fausel Ranch Extravaganza’ with Deanna of Fausel Ranch, Dottie of Camino Flower Shop, John of Old Town Grill, and I all working two weddings back to back. I’ve known both Matt and Alex for a few years now, and their wedding seemed like a giant reunion of past couples and families all there to celebrate the two of them. I had three past couples in attendance that day – John & Elisha, Matt & Gretchen, and Aaron & Ashley, along with many of the guests…

Congratulations Sandi, to you and Terry. The joy and happiness between you is palpable. Thanks for sharing some of it with me on your special day! Enjoy the rest of your summer and we’ll see you when school starts again (while it is still summer-haha).  Peace! All of your proofs will be up in the next day or so!  

“On each wedding anniversary, take a picture of yourselves to keep inside this photo album. In time, the photographs will tell the story of your marriage and your life together; you may be surprised, through the years, by what you see.” Each year, as it nears their anniversary I send each of my wedding couples a gift of an album that starts with an image from their engagement session and follows with one from their wedding. The idea is that they take a picture each year on their anniversary (or near it) and put it in the album to look…

Amy and Ryan’s big day was set on the beautiful grounds of the Wine and Roses Hotel in Lodi. Every detail from the flower arrangements on each table to the coordinating shirts of the little guys, groom, and groomsmen was thought through. Everyone, especially their boys loved the party atmosphere. There’s a lot of behind the scenes teamwork that goes into a wedding. Vendors communicating with each other, ironing shirts at the last minute,  pinning on boutonnieres, etc, all with the goal of trying to keep the day running as smoothly as possible for the Bride and Groom. Big Thanks…

I was so excited to hear that Brett and Erin were getting married, and honored that they chose me to be their photographer. I shot her sister Courtney’s  wedding last year, and was thrilled to get to work with their family again. This is just one of those families you never forget…in a good and warm way; kind, generous, joyful AND FUN. Many thanks to my past wedding clients, Jenn and Jeff, guests at both weddings, for their referral and for just knowing how we’d hit it off! We started out the day in Folsom where Erin and Brett got…

Karen and Erin met while working in Northern California as Archeologists and the rest is history.  The two are looking forward to their August wedding at the High Sierra Iris and Wedding Gardens in Camino. Since the iris won’t be in bloom in August we felt it only fitting to capture the two of them with the iris in Coloma as they are blooming now.  I can’t wait until your big day in August.  Until then enjoy your pictures.
