Wedding Photos: Katie & Jake (Livermore, California)

I enjoy how unique each wedding is, especially when a couple puts so much of their personality into their special day. Katie and Jake’s engagement photos were full of locations that told their story and their wedding day contained so many touches that were special to them. They had a sunny day for their October wedding in Livemore, California and I got to second-shoot for my friend (and talented photographer) Renee from Renascent Photography.

Wedding Photos: Aymara & Kevin

This wedding was such a beautiful day, at an intimate woodsy venue. I got to meet Aymara and Kevin during their engagement session and was happy to join in on the fun of their wedding day. I was second shooting along side Renee of Renascent Photography and knew I’d be in good company with a sweet bride and groom and an amazing photographer.

Wedding Photos: Hillary & Allen (Escalon, CA)

Another beautiful summer day for a lovely couple on their big day. Hillary and Allen returned to the area they grew up in to celebrate their wedding day among family and friends. Spending the day with them was so much fun and such a pleasure, since they were so sweet and just so excited for this day to finally arrive. Reese Farms is a stunning venue in Escalon, CA and is pretty much a photographer’s dream, there are so many good spots for pictures around every turn. Congratulations to you both!

They saw each other for the first time in the shade of a willow tree, in a quiet area away from the main wedding site.

Wedding Reception: Morgan and Mike (Esparto, CA)

Remember all the sweet moments from this intimate City Hall wedding? Me too, I love their photos! A few weeks after saying their vows, Morgan and Mike enjoyed a celebration with all their friends and family. I was lucky enough to join in the fun again and take photos of their wedding reception, held at a beautiful rustic setting. It was laid back and casual, making it a great time for the newlyweds to enjoy time with the people they care about most.

I was treated to some hamming-it-up for the camera, which I always appreciate.
The dance floor got awesome.
