el dorado county weddings

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…

Serrano Country Club is a beautiful location for a wedding and even provides back up plans, just in case it rains, as it did for Robin and Troy’s nuptials.

As this year is about to close, here is my last wedding of 2023 – Juliana and Evan. Gorgeous day, gorgeous location, gorgeous couple- and while I admit bias, they’re one of the sweetest couples I’ve had this year. 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.

While news of the Caldor Fire has all of us in El Dorado County on a day to day, edge, it seemed like a good time to dig into the goodness of this day, July 3, 2021, the day that Brittany and Derek expressed their love to each other surrounded by clean air, an amazingly blue sky and the goodness of family and friends and a sunset like you’ve never seen. Perfectly nestled between the first Covid19 outbreak and subsequent vaccinations and the currently…

Ever been to one of those weddings where you walk out, so completely energized, exclaiming “that was the BEST wedding”? I’m certain most all who attended Amy and Tim’s June 1st wedding at their home and dog training facility in Dixon did. These two and their friends and family, really know how to throw a party! I’ve photographed several variations of the Cutter family over the years so the whole event already started out near to my heart. With only 8-10 weeks from planning to event, Amy and Tim, with a lot of love and help from their friends and…
