After a week of rain, the sun came out right on cue for Jan and Cliff’s bride and groom photos in Old Sacramento!

Meet Jan and Cliff!

Jan.

Cliff.

Jan and Cliff got married up in the foothills above Sacramento, and thought it would be fun to get an urban feel for their after wedding photos.

This marble wall made a great backdrop for Cliff and Jan.

And for a photo of Cliff.

I love doing wedding photography in Old Sacramento. There are these great old buildings with cool colors.

This awesome red wall that we took advantage of for a bride photo…

…and a bride-and-groom photo.

And there are the trains!

A beautiful bride in front of a train is a concept I love to explore. Every time I get a chance, the image is always different – since every bride is different and her own story is unique.

After we had taken photos in Old Sacramento we thought we could also mix it up and get more after wedding photos at the California Capitol grounds.

I love taking wedding photos on the California Capitol grounds, too! It’s a great place for couple photos…

… and portraits of a beautiful bride!

There are some great spots for kissing!

And having fun!

The Capitol building itself has great wedding photo spots!

Like this place in the old entryway.

Still downtown Sacramento, back on the Capitol building grounds. I have no idea what Cliff told Jan.

Jan and Cliff are great and were up for lots of concepts!

I had tons of fun with Jan and Cliff doing after-wedding photography in two locations I love with a great, fun couple!

It was a beautiful, warm, sunny February day this Saturday for Christine and Andy’s wedding at the Flower Farm in Loomis.

Christine and Andy.

Christine.

Andy and his guys.

I love the spring-time feel of the napkin “flowers” on the wedding reception tables. Very fitting for a flower farm wedding!

The antlers are a reference to Andy’s love of hunting.

More pink and spring-time flowers on the wedding cake.

I love shooting family groups at weddings. Everyone always has lots of fun!

Andy and Christine share a wedding first dance.

Tristina, Don, and I met up on Sunday for an after wedding photography session.

Meet Don and Tristina!

Tristina.

Don.

We started their session at their place. I love shooting couples in their homes and also shooting brides and grooms in their getting ready locations.

I love the way the light from their window wraps around Tristina.

Don bathed in light from their beautiful window.

Tristina.

After shooting inside their place, we started exploring the public spaces of their home.

Tristina and Don were fantastic to work with – from the first shot through the last!! I really enjoyed hanging out with them and getting to know them!

There’s this statue in the lobby of their building that we had to get into a photo.

This is just a handful of the great indoor indoor images we got. Then we went outside to get photos walking around Midtown Sacramento.

We really liked the architecture of this building.

We were having fun mixing up concepts. From fashion…

…to easy-going fun!

Yes, we are still in Sacramento – now a bit more downtown than midtown.

We liked the heart-shapes in this cactus.

I loved Tristina’s shoes!

Tristina’s makeup was done by the fantastic Ingrid of Makeup by Ingrid.

…and along Putah Creek.

Joyce, Jonathan and I met up yesterday at the beautiful California State Capitol building, downtown Sacramento for their on-location after wedding photography session. I didn’t shoot their wedding, but there’s no reason they can’t get the same fun, romantic bride-and-groom images they would have gotten if I had shot their wedding! We just did it after their wedding.

Joyce and Jonathan at the California Capitol grounds park.

The entire session took place within a few blocks of the Capitol. The next few images were taken across the street from the Capitol.

The colors at this location made me think energy!

Now we are back on the State Capitol grounds.

We loved the marble checkerboard porch at the entrances to the Capitol building.

This is behind the Capitol building. The setting and the foggy afternoon seemed to fit a black-and-white image that could have been taken years ago.

Pink was one of their colors. I had to get a shot of Joyce’s pink shoes!
