Roseville Sacramento wedding & portrait photographer

It was my pleasure to photograph Mandy & Ryan’s beautiful wedding at Grass Valley, CA yesterday. I can’t say enough about this super sweet, down to earth couple! They are the perfect compliment to each other.

More on this wedding coming soon…I have sooo much to write about. Here are just a few teasers for the beautiful couple…

It is awefully smokey here in Sacramento and I have a wedding in 3 hours in Grass Valley, CA. It is Mandy & Ryan’s wedding at the beautiful Kissler Ranch (I shot their engagement in May). Melanie, my photographer friend, just called to let me know that it is extremely humid in grass velley. The smoke is even stronger there. I hope the couple is coping well with the fire situation.

Before I head off to the wedding, I wanted to post Laurel & Nezar’s engagement slideshow. I fell in love with Roseville downtown train tracks after the shoot. However, I doubt that I’ll be able to shoot there again.

Please enjoy the slideshow and leave me some blog love!!!

Nor Cal is on fire, literally!!! Smoke from the fires caused by thunderstorms have covered the already-smoggy-sky of Sacramento. Last night was bad, today it is terrible It’s been hard to stay outdoors, but the smoke is coming inside as well. Seems like a good time to stay at home and edit the photos.

I have been so busy lately. With back to back weddings and e-sessions, I have weeks worth of editing to do; and this is just the begining. My pepper and tomato plants are also in full bloom that I have to take pictures of. There is even a big pepper(Ortega) that I’m saving for Jason. He has gone out of town. I want to show off the first pepper from our first pepper plant at our first home when he gets back

It was my pleasure to shoot Laurel and Nezar’s engagement session today at Old Roseville. It was a beautiful afternoon and the venue was just perfect for a fun, romantic photoshoot. Laurel and Nezar are getting married in October in a winery in Placervile, CA. I am stoked that I’ll get to shoot their wedding and pre-wedding Henna ceremony. Nezar’s family is from Palestine and they are bringing in his middle eastern culture to their event. I was so excited when I first heard about it during our initial meeting! This brought back the memories from my own wedding. And I was so happy that I’ll get to celebrate their big day as their photographer.

This one gives me motion sickness

The first three were taken with Jason’s ancient 3mp camera that is no longer in operation. The last one is straight out of my Rebel XT(poor rebel worked really hard in the past few years …). I should also mention that I’m now a proud owner of a 5D. I tried it out last night, it is worth every penny! Can’t wait to use it this weekend!

Oh boy, I’m back in town and I have soooo much to post! Jason and I not only had a wonderful drive to SoCal, we had a wonderful time at Audrey and Curtis’s wedding. Curtis is Jason’s high school buddy. There are four of them who grew up together. These kids went into different directions after high school but nothing had stopped them from meeting up atleast once a year and spending quality times.

It was my pleasure to photograph Curtis and Audrey’s beautiful wedding at the Scripps park, La Jolla. The location was stunning! This was one of the most beautiful wedding locations I have ever seen. The tiny grassy area facing the pacific ocean was perfect for an intimate wedding.

Audrey looked absolutely gorgeous on her off-white wedding gown.

It was a cold afternoon in San Diego, the wind was blowing so hard! Yet the couple held up pretty well to take some awesome pictures. Curtis and Audrey make a beautiful couple. They are super cool, talented and they know how to have fun.

It was a lot of fun for the highschool buddies to see each other again. Curtis is the second one to get married(after Jason), so I asked, who would be next?

There are many more to share from the wedding. I’ll put up a slideshow soon. Until then, enjoy these… Thanks to Curtis and Audrey for allowing me to shoot their wedding. I couldn’t ask for a better experience guys…

We are going on a road trip to southern california(San Diego to be more specific) tomorrow and I’ll be shooting Curtis & Audrey’s beautiful cliff wedding on Saturday. The wedding was the reason we were going down and then we decided to make a mini vacation out of it. The plan is to take highway 1 all the way from Monterey. I AM EXCITED!!!!!! It is hot in Sac, I’m happy to be able to get out of here for a few days.

I’ll be out of town from tomorrow through Monday. Stay tuned for the SoCal wedding update ….
