Sara & Andrew's Wedding | June 5th, 2010

Bless Sara's heart...she hired me even after I showed up to our wedding consultation with full blown laryngitis sounding like Donald Duck. I left our consult totally bummed that I probably wasn't going to get to photograph their awesome, fun wedding.....but lucky for me, got an email from Sara just a few days later saying that they chose ME as their wedding photographer! Young brides hold a soft spot in my heart because I too was only 20 when I got married. I spy extra closely to see if they sneak a glass of champagne (cough*like I did*cough) but I think Sara just had cider ;) Sara and Andrew got married in the beautiful Morris Chapel at The University of the Pacific and followed up with a warm, fun reception at Grandma's property in French Camp. When they said that they wanted photos on the trampoline I about died of happiness. When Sara busted out a back-handspring on the trampoline I said, "Girl, okay, I'll take the shot but please don't fall!" - she nailed it!

Thank you guys for including me as a part of your awesome wedding day!

Tiela & Chris | Auburn Wedding ~ May 23rd, 2010

Tiela and Chris made me nearly cry two times, and actually cry one time. It was their custom vows, the beautiful toasts attesting to how wonderful of parents they are, and when Tiela walked out in her mother's wedding dress as a surprise to everyone. Yep, they got me. Their ceremony and reception was held at the Power Mansion Inn in the center of Old Auburn. The weather was absolutely gorgeous- clear and cool. As a photographer, I dream of weddings like this one. Thank you Tiela and Chris for allowing me to be a part of your big day. I was so impressed with your families and your beautiful little boys. You have a wonderful life ahead of you!

Lynn & Lonnell | Married! | May 15th, 2010

Lynn and Lonnell got married on a beautiful spring day at their church in Stockton. Following the ceremony, we went to Victory Park for formals and then it was off to party the night away at the reception! Approximately 200 guests made the whole event fun and full of life. The day was filled with too many special moments to list, so I will let the photos tell the story. Thank you for allowing me to photograph your beautiful wedding day Lynn & Lonnell! Thank you to my friend and fellow photographer, Kris Lane, for 2nd shooting and providing several of the below images!
