Placerville wedding photography

Karina and Colin met while working together on the Camp Fire in Paradise, CA in 2018. They say tragedies can bring people together and after spending such an emotional time on this fire, helping so many, they decided they had found love in the storm. Traveling is one of their shared passions and when they travel, they enjoy anchoring in one location and spending weeks at a time exploring the area. While in Mexico on a recent trip, they adopted a pup- whose given name was Bear. Feeling like their Mexican perro needed a Spanish name, they swapped for the…

I was so excited when Megan asked me to save their date! I’ve photographed her family’s milestones at numerous times over the years it was the cherry on top to photograph the final O’Rilley wedding.

Karina and Colin will marry this October at a family property in Placerville. It’s going to be a big wedding with lots of guests, but laid back like the vast property they are celebrating on.

I’ve had alot of full-circle moments and this is…

As this year is about to close, here is my last wedding of 2023 – Juliana and Evan.

I’ve photographed Juliana and her family several times over the years after meeting them through a dear mutual friend. I was honored to get to capture these moments for them. I love a good “meet cute” and this one places both of them in Salem, Oregon where they were both working and going to University. Juliana was asked to rearrange a…

Everyone knows the Fausel family. Whether it’s their delicious peaches or cherries you await every year(and my mouths watering just thinking about them), or the Placerville Hardware store located on Main Street in a structure dating back to 1850, before the city of Placerville existed, or if you celebrated your wedding day on their gorgeous ranch, if you are local, you’ve likely met someone related to the Fausel family.
