Roseville Sacramento wedding & portrait photographer

Things have been pretty crazy lately. I may sound like a broken radio, but seriously, I don’t know how my days go by. I have been planning on returning my sister’s call for the past few days, I finally made it happen today. I also cleaned up my office, backed up the images and delivered the DVDs from September-October weddings. I had a few minutes to myself today to think about all the stuff that had happened in last two months. It’s been exactly a month since I left my previous employer, still can’t get over the sorrow. I know I shouldn’t get that emotional about the whole thing, but I’m not Me without soft sentiments. I wish I wasn’t so sappy sometimes! The price I pay for such acts is not just worth it.

It’s the holiday season again. Looks like this year’s turkey day is going to be a quiet one, although I still plan on cooking something special. I’m sorta bummed that I won’t get to go on my dream vacation in December due to lack of planning and overpriced air tickets. But I still wanna take a trip somewhere, possibly tropical, to escape from miserable Sac weather.

I have one more wedding coming up right after the Thanksgiving, so excited about this one! After that I’ll say bye bye to the wedding season this year. I also realized that I never shared the part II of the wedding I shot in Boston. Here’s a few …

A week ago J & I cruised over to a nearby neighborhood park to shoot with Amanda and Tim on their engagement session. Ozzie, their dog, came along with us and posed in a couple photos as well (see below). Great thing about this park is, it looks different at different time of the year. When we had our photos taken there in September, it was all dry and brown. Now that’s it rained a few times in Roseville, the trees started to turn green. It was so pretty out there, love was in the air Tim and Amanda were feeling it too…

Megan & Ryan had a beautiful fall wedding at the Strauss Island of Elk Grove park. It was a pleasure to be there, documenting their wedding. As I was shooting, I was listening to the stories the families shared. I knew they were super sweet when we met, but as the stories unfolded, I learned a different side of Megan & Ryan. They really, absolutely, were made for each other!

Megan & Ryan’s love story began at the campus of Point Loma. They graduated recently and moved to Nor Cal to their family and decided to tie the knot. The wedding was super fun, friends from all over travelled to witness their big day. I was glad that I was able to capture their special moments.

Here are a few teasers…

If you are following my blog, you already know the stuff that has been happening with me besides shooting weddings. It’s unbelievable how things happen in my life! I have this crazy side of me, where I decide to do something and I just make an attempt to do it. It’s not that these are just random acts of my mind. I prepare for things, I think through the dark and bright sides and then aim for success. Changing a job was an event happened that way. I didn’t really think that I would find another equally great job in this economy, but I did. I must have just gotten very lucky and I’m thankful for that.

In addition to dealing with my already insane schedule, I’m coping with a long commute to work everyday. That means waking up earlier, rushing to work and stressing about the traffic that I may have to face both ways. Although my husband advised me to stay calm about the traffic situation, my tragic mind (I’m still recovering from the fact that I will no longer be working with my husband) doesn’t completely allow me to do so. What do I do during that time? I listen to music. Today, for the second time, I got to hear John Mayer’s latest single on the radio. If you don’t know already, I am a BIG FAN of John!!!!! Here is a youtube video of his song “who says”. Fancy it!

Meet Crystal & BJ, a super sweet, super nice, super good looking and super generous couple. Crystal wanted to have their e-session in her hometown Chico. We drove up north and met up with them near Bidwell park where we decided to have their shoot. We found the coolest locations around and had an awesome collection of engagement photos. Here are a few…
