Chris + Trina {Couples Session} Lake Tahoe

Hello again!

I’ve been in my editing cave for the past few days and have had the opportunity to really focus and get caught up with my summer shoots and blog, blog, blog…….

Allow me to introduce Chris and Trina:)

I had the pleasure of finally meeting these two recently when they came out to California for their summer vacation from Mississippi.  I wish I could say they came to all the way to Cali JUST for me but the truth is that I am thrilled I was able to be just a part of their trip celebrating one year being married.

This session took place in beautiful Lake Tahoe CA.  Last year my husband and I discovered this gorgeous peninsula covered in Lupin and yellow Monkey flowers in North Lake near Tahoe City.  I found out later that the spot only looks like this for a few weeks a year so I was lucky their vacation landed where it did on the calender!

Congrats on one year guys!  Enjoy!

and a quick shout out to a couple of  fantastic woman who helped on a few of the details!

Cam + Alissa {engaged}

I had the pleasure of photographing these two cuties on July 4th,  promptly after announcing their engagement a week before while on vacation here in CA visiting friends and family.  I have had the good fortune of  knowing Cam and his family for many years so it was a joy to meet the darling Florida native Alissa, and to have the honor of being able to capture their obvious happiness on camera : )

Besides the fact that they both have *awesome* hair, these two were fun to photograph and sweet together.

Congrats you two!

Here are a few pictures from there mini engagement session that took place in and around Half Moon Bay, CA.

Enjoy!

I love Alissa’s eyes here……..

Courtney & Brian {the wedding} – Timber Creek Ballroom – Roseville Wedding Photographer

Here are Courtney and Brian’s wedding day teasers!   These two love birds were a match made on eharmony.   The funny part is they’ve lived 20 minutes apart most of their lives, have mutual friends and went to the same college just a year apart from one another.  These two were truly meant to be together.  It was an honor to be a part of their special day!  Their August wedding took place at the Timber Creek Ballroom in Roseville, CA.

Courtney looked stunning!

Brian and his men.  Looking quite debonair.

and now for their reveal!  Smiles for miles….

I love the wild land around the property..  rustic and elegant.

so many yummy details!

The ballroom looked lovely
