Placerville Wedding Photographer

I had fun with Bill and Stephanie from the moment I met them. Photographing them is like a playful jam in which the banter back and forth becomes part of the capture-freestyle. Their gorgeous wedding was set in Stephanie’s parents’ backyard and thanks to Bill and his “now” father in law who put in so many hours adding koi ponds, pavers and landscaping to prepare for the big day. After the dance floor was installed over the pool we were set to go! Bill of course gave me his signature pose -both arms up in the air- like he won…

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…

I had another great evening at Sly Park lake enjoying the wonderful light during an engagement session with Bill and Stephanie. They have been together for four years and are counting down the days/minutes to their all-day celebration at Stephanie’s parents home in Placerville. Bill and Stephanie are fun and fun with each other. Stephanie is super easy going and a natural beauty. When Bill is not helping to plan the wedding(ie construction at the Cutter home) he is out on the river on his jet ski. He has invited me to join him and his friends, to photograph them…

Even a week before a wedding, an engagement session still has so many benefits. I got to meet Albert and Melissa and see how they are as a couple outside of what sometimes can be wedding day craziness. We got to go sit out in the dirt with the farm animals at Fausel Ranch. And as a bonus, I got to see my friend Deanna the owner and coordinator at Fausel Ranch who is also just happens to be Albert’s mom…not to mention I left with a case of peaches that were amazing, thanks Fausels- you always take such good care…

If any of you have ever been to Fausel Ranch, whether for a wedding or to buy some of their fabulous summer fruit, you have more than likely met Deanna and David, the owners of Fausel Ranch. I’ve had the honor of getting to work with Deanna several times now, and this past weekend, I was honored to be chosen this time,  to work for her at her son’s wedding. Melissa and Albert decided to be the first couple to be married under the gazebo on the ranch, and I loved how they centered the entire evening around it. It…

Michelle and Zac decided to share their special day with a small, intimate group of family and friends at Sequoia in Placerville. We started the day off with Michelle getting ready, and took some beautiful portraits on one of the many Victorian couches Sequoia has to offer. For their first look, Michelle walked across the front lawn to where Zac was waiting beneath the archway.  Their beautiful daughter Ellie was there to celebrate the day with them as well, and spent most of the day bouncing between relatives, and just being the cheerful 9-month old that she is. After the…
