Marie + Justin || Wedding

When I first spoke to Justin on phone about his wedding, I thought that he might be of the sweetest grooms I would ever meet. He proved me right on his wedding day. When he saw Marie walking down the aisle, Justin couldn't hold back his tear. He had to look away for a moment to bring him back to the present. It was a magical moment! And why wouldn't it be? Marie looked amazingly beautiful on their wedding day. A man, so in love with her, was sure to melt away at that first look of her!

Justin and Marie were only engaged for a month or so before they started wedding planning. They pretty much had a month to pull everything together and they did a great job. Red and Black theme was a perfect match for the couple. I loved Marie's hairstyle and the hair pieces she was wearing. And the black sashe on her dress added that extra glam to the over all look. The wedding took place at the Sierra View Country Club. Thankfully, it was a clear day, so we were able to go out to the 18th hole for some fun shots.

I am so excited for Justin and Marie to start their adventure together! They make a beautiful couple and I know that they have a lot in store for each other. I wish them all the happiness for their journey ahead.

Thanks to Jen of Jen Stewart Photography for connecting me to this beautiful couple.

teasers from Saturday wedding

These are just to get you going until I post the details of this amazing wedding I experienced last Saturday! Please check back soon...

Marie + Justin || Engagement

Last Friday I headed out with Marie and Justin for their engagement shoot to a near by park in Roseville. I discovered this park not to long ago. When I went there for location scouting, I thought that it would be perfect for their shoot. Unfortunately it rained the night before making the ground wet and muddy. But that didn't stop these two from having fun.

M+J are an absolutely beautiful couple! She is going to be a gorgeous bride, I know. I am super excited for their upcoming wedding in February.

Enjoy some teasers from their e-session. Here is the slideshow.

Sylvia + Johnny || Engagement

Saturday was an exciting day for me. I photographed the Horton family in the morning and then in the afternoon I met up with Sylvia and Johnny for their e-session in Old Sacramento. This lovely couple is from the Bay Area and I was so excited that they were in Sac for their engagement shoot. It's been really cold in Sacramento for the past few days; Saturday, especially, was very chilly and gloomy in Roseville. The sky cleared off a bit by the time we got to Sacramento.

Old Sac is one of my favorite places to shoot. I love the rustic look of the places which give the images a differnt vibe. We also found an old record store where we ended up shooting. Johnny is a DJ and obviously plays with music a lot, so it was just the place for them to shoot at.

It was wonderful working with Sylvia and Johnny. Sylvia will make such a beautiful bride! S & J - I hope you two enjoy the teasers.

Sweet surprise!

This morning I came into work to find the sweetest gift of the year! There was a sticky office note on my monitor and behind the monitor was this -

I wish I could post a picture of the note I received! Unfortunately I don't have the liberty of doing so. It all came from my other half, my husband! He brought me what I like the most, beautiful red roses, for our Third wedding anniversary. Along came the sweetest card I had ever received! Nothing(as far as gifts are concerned) makes me happier than beautiful flowers and if they come from that special someone in life then they become even more meaningful!
