I’ll be photographing the wedding of Amanda and Josh a little later this year at David Girard Vineyards in Placerville. They chose Sacramento’s historic Old Town district as a backdrop for their engagement photography session. All three of us had a wonderful time and the photos came out great!

We picked a time during the evening hours because the light is much better early and late in the day, and this day was no different. Amanda and Josh wanted to start out at the Tower Bridge and then we worked our way through old town looking for some fun settings for photos. The also brought along a change of clothes, so we got a variety of shots that don’t look like they were all taken on the same day – that was smart!

I love this photo - Amanda and Josh later told me they were trying to form a heart with the outlines of the hands a legs.

Forest House Lodge, Foresthill, CA – wedding photos

Sam and Dejonnee got married at Forest House Lodge in Foresthill, California in late December.

For me it was a last minute wedding. About two weeks earlier I received a frantic email and phone message from Sam’s sister who was in a panic because the photographer that Sam and Dee had lined up for their wedding canceled on them at the last minute.

Fortunately, I was able to squeeze them into my schedule and put off shopping for Christmas presents until the last minute.

It was a small, family oriented wedding that was both fun and emotional.

Katy and Dan are getting married on June 13, 2009. For their engagement photography session they picked Capitol Park in Sacramento because it was the location of their very first date. Capitol park offers a wide selection of locations for engagement or family photography. The gardens around the park contain trees from around the world. In one section there is a Civil War memorial grove planted in the late 1800s with saplings from famous Civil War battlegrounds.

The wedding ceremony was held just behind the house in Glenbrook. With views overlooking Lake Tahoe the location was a beautiful one. Family and friends gathered in an intimate setting on a beautiful Lake Tahoe summer evening. Everything went according to plans and the ceremony was a delight.

The reception was held on the tennis courts just behind the house. A nice level place for dining, dancing and talking with friends old and new. I love the lighting that they used to create such a festive atmosphere. Dinner, cake, a band and more…
