Northern California Wedding Photographer

Entering the room where Ryan & his Groomsmen were getting ready, there was music playing, the TV was on, beers were open & the guys were kickin ‘back, relaxing & slowly getting themselves ready for the wedding after just coming back from the pool.  Ryan was busy helping his groomsmen get their ties and boutonnieres on properly. While on the other end of the Inn, Melissa was getting her hair done, her makeup put on and covering the  last few details of their wedding to make sure their big day went smooth as ice (ahhhhh nice cold and cool ice).…

Well, apparently Gretchen loves pink! (you think?) After a wonderful engagement session up in high country I knew this wedding was going to be a fun one. Gretchen and Matt decided to see each other before the wedding. This can be a really nice way to go and can really cut down on the time needed to take photographs after the wedding. It gets you to your reception faster! However, the best part is, that they get to see each other all dressed and ready to go (almost in private) and then have a few quiet moments with each other…

Earlier this year I went to San Fransisco to shoot Karl & Lauren’s engagement session and it was typical SF weather- foggy, raining, and misty but I was pleased that the weather didn’t keep them from the shoot and they were probably equally pleased that I didn’t mind getting my gear wet for their shoot! We all enjoyed ourselves running around like Golden Retrievers on the beach! Karl & Lauren held their wedding in the Redwood Grove on the UC Berkeley campus and had their reception right across the street at the Botanical Garden; both places were amazing and beautiful!…

Molly and Andrew were guests at Jorden and Becky’s wedding that I shot back in October ’07. When Molly contacted me about her wedding, I knew it was going to be a fun one. Not only did she love photography and knew it was important to her and Andrew on their wedding day, her groom, Andrew spent many years growing up just down the road from my home- Andrew’s parents are my neighbors! Our day started off up the street (gotta love that commute) and their wedding location was at Molly’s fathers home in Placerville; a beautiful home, with stunning…

Todd & Lindsay had their wedding at the Fitzhaven over looking the entire lake in North Lake Tahoe on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I met Lindsay at her Matron of Honor, Jeni’s wedding, back in 2007. The joy and excitement between Todd and Lindsay was palpable. Todd had the greatest smile on his face all day (when there weren’t tears of joy). Lindsay was a gorgeous and calm bride and her bridesmaids were so sweet and fun to hang out with. The groomsmen- clearly ready for a great time! The wedding was beautifully coordinated by Merrily of Merrily Wed in…

The wedding of Beth and David was held at Valhalla in West Shore Lake Tahoe, CA. It was a perfect day; the clouds in the sky were bright & fluffy, the weather was comfortable & cool, everything was green and the water was a beautiful Tahoe blue. The family and friends attending the wedding were so much fun and happy to see these two finally be getting married. Beth looked stunning in her wedding dress and was so excited to be getting married to David! Congratulations you two for finally tying the knot! Enjoy your slideshow!
