Seth + Dana! Married! {Chico Wedding Photographer}

Seth and Dana got married Saturday at the New Hope Fellowship Church in Chico.  Mother Nature decided to make it interesting and we had a record-breaking hot day...112 to be exact, easily breaking a record from the 1950's.  I have to admire everyone from the bride and groom to the bridal party and guests for keeping their collective cool.  My SB900 flash would overheat about every 2 minutes, even bouncing it  at reduced power.  The air conditioning went out twice at the church, followed by the air conditioning also going out later at the reception, which was at the Card Center in Chico.  No matter!  There was too much joy and excitement in the air to let a mere 112 dampen anyone's enthusiasm. 

This was a wonderful merging of two very close families.  I have a feeling the extended family will be a wonderful blend.  I thoroughly enjoyed my day with you guys.  I hope you are rocking Cancun and sticking your toes some coool water as I type.  Thanks for having me, and have an excellent life together!

Tabi + Ben: Engagement! {Redding Wedding Photographer}

Tabi and Ben joined me for a little walk on the river trail today.  And by little walk I mean about 10 miles in the blazing sun.  I promised them shade, but never delivered.  Eventually we found some shade down close to the water..  Ahhhh...  And it's not even summer yet!  These two are the cutest couple ever and just seem to belong together.  I am including Tabi's picture first because she is such a beauty and this must be one of my favorite pictures ever. 

Your wedding is going to be fun and I can't wait.  Thanks for hanging out with me today -- I really had fun and look forward to your big day!



 
 


 
 




 
 




 
 

Michelle & RJ! Engaged! {Chico Wedding Photographer}

Michelle and RJ!  What a cute couple you two are!  They disdained the run of the mill places and instead we went adventuring for our shoot into the wilds of the breathtaking and scenic Feather River canyon!  It was a totally perfect day in every way.  We spent a lot of time laughing!  I found them not only to be engaging and sweet but -- !! -- fellow fishing enthusiasts and gourmet mushroom lovers.  I am really looking forward to your big day this fall.  Thanks for the warm welcome, great company and beautiful tour!  :)
