Sean and Nicole were married at the beautiful North Ponderosa Vineyards in Grass Valley, California. What a lovely spot! And it’s a working vineyard!
Meet Nicole!
The day started off with everyone having lots of fun!
Meet Sean!
Sean and the guys before the ceremony.
Sean and Nicole’s details were beautiful!
They served wine in bottles labeled especially for them. It was fun to explore this Grass Valley vineyard, the landscaping is gorgeous.
Guests could go down the hill slightly to the wine tasting room. When they got there, wedding guests could have wine right from the barrel captured by a wine thief and put right into a glass.
Sean and Nicole’s wedding ceremony overlooked a valley full of vineyards with hills in the distance. It was a beautiful day!
After dinner, we went down into the vineyard and took bride and groom photos.

After their reception, we captured a last look at their day.
Everyone was so happy for Sean and Nicole! Their wedding was beautiful and everyone had lots of fun!!

Cristina and Spencer were married on a beautiful sunny summer day! The vineyard they picked for their ceremony and reception has a beautiful view of the Putah Creek valley and the gorgeous, oak-covered summer hills near Winters, California.
Meet Cristina!
Everyone was so excited for Cristina and Spencer on their big day!
Cristina’s sister did a fabulous job on the centerpieces. Her sister’s company, Anderson Family Catering, also catered the wedding. The tables were beautiful and the food was delicious! I had the barbecued chicken – yumm!!
Spencer and Cristina.
Their colors and flowers were beautiful!
Congratulations Cristina and Spencer!

Michelle and Brad were married at the beautiful, historic Woodland Hotel downtown Woodland, California. I did an engagement session with Michelle and Brad last year and it was a lot of fun! I was really happy they wanted me to shoot their wedding, too!
Meet Michelle!
We were having total fun near this great ivy-covered wall…
…then we thought it would be yet more fun to mix it up near the fountain in the Woodland Hotel courtyard!
After the ladies went back inside, Brad came into the courtyard for some finishing touches.

Michelle’s bouquet was beautiful!
At the end of the day, we slipped out to take some nighttime photos on the streets of Woodland. I always love to get a last look of the bride and groom on their wedding day, before they leave on their honeymoon.

Best wishes Michelle and Brad!!

It was a gorgeous fall-like day in the middle of the normally hot month of August when Gaby, Edgar and I met up in Old Sacramento for their engagement session.
Meet Edgar and Gaby!
Gaby and Edgar wanted an interesting location for their engagement photos that offered variety and was near downtown Sacramento. We talked about a bunch of possibilities – their choice of Old Sacramento is one of my favorites. Old Sacramento has industrial locations like the one above, trains, lots of action, and an Old West feel – all within a few blocks!
There’s this great hidden courtyard below street level that was perfect for a number of concepts! We were having fun at this fountain.
And the brick walls enclosing the courtyard made great backdrops.
Gaby and Edgar inspired me to do something with this caboose. Here’s one of the concepts we did there.
As the sun started to set, we went down to the floating dock that runs the length of the waterfront on the Sacramento River to get some photos near the water.
I had a blast shooting with Gaby and Edgar. I can’t wait for their wedding!

Yvette and Josh were married at the Wild Wings golf and airport community in Woodland CA. It’s a great wedding location with Northern California countryside surrounding it and it’s right in the middle of a scenic wetlands area. Add lots of really nice people and as you can see from their photos – everyone had a great time celebrating with Yvette and Josh!
Meet Josh and Yvette!
Yvette and Josh’s wedding details connected with birds and the wetlands, the beautiful colors of a Northern California summer and the natural surroundings.
I love the details in Yvette’s wedding dress and the colors in her bouquet.
After the ceremony we went to the nearby wetlands for a bridal party shoot.
I was totally excited when Yvette and her dad did a salsa father-daughter dance! How fun!
Congratulations Yvette and Josh!!
