Breanna and Dan



What an amazing weekend. Wow! First of all I have to take a moment to say THANK YOU to the newly wedded Dan and Breanna Watkins for flying me all the way out to one of the most beautiful places in the country to photograph your even more beautiful wedding! It was definitely an incredible experience that I won't soon forget. And I certainly can't forget to mention another huge thank you to my cousin Maegan who referred me to Breanna almost two years ago!

We created hundreds of stunning images throughout the weekend, but here are a few more sneak peeks of the wedding:


Breanna just after she slipped on her dress. Such a pretty bride!


The lovely bridal party strikin' a pose for me in a hot hot sun-filled field.






The ceremony with a breathtaking view of the lake and sierras.





Time to pop open the bubbly!








The wedding was held at the Edgewood club right on the water. It was such a unique venue and Breanna pulled together some awesome details.


A sunset smooch to wrap up the shoot! Breanna's veil got soaked but we thought it made for a cool image!

I will likely be posting some additional images here shortly, but for now I'm going to get some shut eye. Again, thank you SOOO much Breanna and Dan!! Todd and I had an amazing time with you and both of your families and friends! I couldn't have imagined a more perfect weekend. Congrats to you both!

Meagan and Matt's Beautiful Day



Congratulations Meagan and Matt Groom! First of all, I have to say how absolutely sweet these two are. I got to know Meagan at my ad agency job just prior to going full time with my photography studio. Meagan booked me pretty early on and I'm so glad that she did. She and Matt ,as well as all of their friends and family that I have been able to meet so far have just been such a wonderful group to be around.

Here are a couple shots before the ceremony. There was this really cool old Wurlitzer piano in the basement of the church where the girls were getting ready.



And the sun and heat was out in full force...thought this quick pic of the guys was pretty fitting of the day.



The day was full of emotions to be sure. If you were able to zoom in on this picture, you would surely see the crocodile tears welling up in Matt's eyes as Meagan walked down the aisle with her dad.





Here are a handful of my favorite pics that I wanted to share. It was hard to narrow them down.
The reception was at the beautiful Tartan Fields Golf Club in Dublin and we made a stop over at The Corazon Club for some quick pics with the cool architecture and textures.







Meagan and Matt had a slide show that was projected on the ceiling of the tent—definitely was a hit and brought on a lot of laughs and smiles.



I'll wrap up this post with a couple of the cake. It was beautiful...and HUGE. I don't think these pictures really show quite how big it was. And the detailing of the sugar flowers was amazing.





What a beautiful day for two beautiful people. Congrats.

Alex and Beth's Picture-Perfect Day!



So I couldn't ask for a more wonderful couple to photograph! The new Beth and Alex Rousch tied the knot yesterday in a very casual, yet beautiful, sweet ceremony at the Topiary Garden downtown. For being a relatively short afternoon wedding celebration, I still have LOTS of images to go through but wanted to make a quick post of some of my favorites that caught my eye right away.









Oh, and I had to post this shot I snapped of Beth and Alex with a bunch of elementary school kids that were at the park on a field trip. They just thought it was soo cool that they saw people getting married, that they RAN from all directions over to Beth and Alex for a quick pic. Everyone loves a newly hitched bride and groom!



And the getaway car...perfect day for a convertible.



Following the ceremony, we walked around German Village for a really fun and relaxed portrait session. It was so nice because their lunch reception was at Lindey's on Mohawk, right in the heart of the most quaint part of the village. We were just steps away from a zillion great photo spots. Lots of smooches and cuddles in this series!








These yummilicious cupcakes were done by Bakery Gingham, also in German Village. They almost looked too good to eat I thought—but apparently not everyone agreed, as they were gone pretty quickly.



And I think this was the littlest guest of the day...so sweet!



Thanks again Beth and Alex—I couldn't ask for a more perfect way to start my 3-wedding marathon weekend. Have such a great time in England, Ireland and Scotland on your honeymoon!
