Nicole and Sean picked Auburn for their engagement photo session. Auburn is a great town in the California gold country with a rich history and a variety of architecture ranging from 1800′s gold rush buildings to contemporary structures. It’s also one of Nicole and Sean’s favorite haunts!
Meet Sean and Nicole!

We had a lot of fun exploring the Auburn area.
I really love their connection!
You may recall that I love taking photos of doors. I’ve posted images of doors in Europe. Nicole loves doors, too!
Here’s Nicole and Sean in front of a great rusty door in Auburn.

Right next to the rusty door there’s this great cast iron staircase.

It was great exploring Auburn with Nicole and Sean! I can’t wait for their Grass Valley wedding!!

Dana, Dennis and I met up for their totally fun engagement session at Jack London Square in Oakland.
We started their engagement shoot at the palm tree area right in Jack London Square. The weather was beautiful and the Square was great!
Right nearby there’s a floating pier surrounded by yachts.
Then we went exploring and looking for locations. Here are Dennis and Dana on a patio at Jack London Square.
This cool fountain is right next to the patio.
Dennis and Dana.

I love how we got lots of different looks – and all the photos were taken within a few blocks near Jack London Square.
Dana and Dennis’ engagement was lots of fun! I can’t wait for their wedding!!

Natalie and John were married this weekend in the Sacramento wine country near the town of Jackson. The beautiful woods and sweeping view at the residence made a great location for their outdoor evening ceremony and night-time reception.
You may recall that I did an engagement session with Natalie and John last November. I learned back then what they were planning for their wedding – it was exciting to see it all come together!
I thought I’d do something different for this blog post. Instead of highlighting ten or so images, I thought I’d tell a mini-version of Natalie and John’s wedding story. It’s a very abbreviated story of their day – just a small fraction of all their images – starting from the beginning to the last photo of their wedding coverage.
Before we start, let’s meet Natalie and John!
We started with Natalie and her bridesmaids having some fun before the ceremony.
The house had a great jukebox!
The guys were having fun before the ceremony, too, of course!
Now, the ceremony is about to start – we really did a fast-forward in time!
They had a beautiful outdoor ceremony.
The first kiss!
After the ceremony, we got photos of the bridal party all together. Don’t they make great zombies!
While the guests enjoyed appetizers and drinks, Natalie, John and I went off for a little while and took bride-and-groom photos.
The last shot we got before the reception was Natalie and John showing their wedding rings.
Now we’ll really fast-forward for the sake of the story – skipping most of the reception, the toasts, and lots of photos – all the way to the first dance. It was a beautiful night outdoors.
Finally, we’ll skip one more time to the end of the evening. John and Natalie, husband and wife, share a moment away from the reception.
So, that’s a very abbreviated version of Natalie and John’s wedding story. I hope you enjoyed it!

We visited some Davis landmarks, like the AT&T switching station with it’s cool retro 60′s tile facade.
