Briggette and Dean – Married – Rescue, CA

by Lisa Richmond

Cowgirl boots, stetsons and shot guns. Yeehaw, it’s a country wedding for Briggette and Dean, who married recently on a private estate in Rescue, CA.

Briggette’s mom, Sharee, was my daughter, Ember’s, first grade teacher and so I  started off with a special connection to this fun-loving couple. Not that I needed it, I quickly found, during our engagement session at Sly Park Lake earlier this year. This couple is relaxed in front of the camera and willing to try anything for a great shot.

This came in extra handy as me, my assistant, bride, groom, and groomsmen tore across the rugged terrain of the private estate in a Ranger Cart (a rough-terrain golf cart) hanging onto our equipment for dear life and chasing the rapidly descending sunlight after their ceremony. I wish there had been video because I would have had to post it here. It was hilarious and hair-raising.

But wow did that sun disappear on us quickly! We had a vision for Briggette and Dean standing on an outcropping of rocks, a slowly setting sun in the background, and what we got was a sun barely peeking above the tree line. Grabbing a couple of shots before we lost the sun entirely, we turned around and noticed a patch of gorgeous golden light… clear across the other side of the estate. Without hesitation, the entire party jumped onto the cart and put pedal to the metal to catch that light. We made it with only minutes to spare. We got the shots, though, and have a great story to tell in the process. I love it when that happens.

This was a fun and carefree wedding with lots of thoughtful details that were just perfect for the ranch-like setting and just right for Briggette and Dean’s personality. I wish them many more great adventures and beautiful sunsets in the future.
