Tiffany + Ren - March 29, 2008

Tuesday, April 22, 2008

I met Tiffany and Ren through some friends of my family - Mike & Jackie (I photographed Jackie's son's wedding 2 years ago). I was so honored that Tiffany and Ren asked me to photograph their wedding. As soon as I met them and heard their story, I couldn't wait for their wedding to arrive.
It was such a beautiful day...the weather and lighting could not have been better. I have never photographed a wedding at the Vizcaya, so I was pleasantly surprised at what a beautiful venue it was.
Tiffany and Ren, thank you again for allowing me to be a part of your special day. You two and your families are such an inspiration to me.

Details:
Venue: Vizcaya, Sacramento, California
Flowers: Visual Impact - Cathy
DJ: DJ Cashwell
Cake: Shelton's Bakery



A view from the front of the venue, Vizcaya, located in Sacramento.



A couple of details of the day. I absolutely love Tiffany's flowers and shoes.


The yummy cake...and I loved the details of the pink daisies (which is my favorite color and flower).


Tiffany...completely candid and GORGEOUS !!!!





Ren...can you say HANDSOME (plus he is super sweet and funny!)





Tiffany and her father before they enter the ceremony. I absolutely loved this courtyard...so green and beautifully manicured.








An absolutely adoreable photo of the "new" family. I was so impressed by these young men. They were so polite and well behaved. Mom & Dad should be very proud!!!!








I had to capture this moment between Tiffany & Ren...it was just before they entered the reception. She had to just take a breath from all of the excitement.


One of my favorite images from the day. The light was just right and these two are so in love....

Lauren & Jon - April 12, 2008 - Part 1

Monday, April 14, 2008

I had the joy of capturing the wedding of Lauren and Jon this past weekend at the beautiful Ruby Hill Country Club in Pleasanton. I first met Lauren and Jon at Savannah and Juilian's wedding last May. After several e-mails, we were finally able to meet and discuss their wedding. I could tell right away that this was going to be something very special. Lauren is so detail oriented, that I knew she was going to have a spectacular wedding. When we decided to take their engagement photos at Baker Beach last summer, I was so excited because I love to photograph at the Beach and also, I knew we would be spending a few hours together getting to know eachother. These two are so much in love and everytime I look at their photos I get goosebumps. They are both gorgeous, but more than that, they are two of the nicest people you will ever meet.

This wedding was also a first for me. Normally I have one assistant/2nd shooter with me. Today I was joined by three other photographers - Karen, Heather and Rizza. Although Karen has worked with me over the past few years, this was the first time for Heather. They are both friends and I have learned that they are fabulous photographers. Then there is Rizza....my angel. I recently met Rizza and we became fast friends. She started working with me recently and I couldn't be happier !!! She is an AMAZING photographer ! She loves to shoot the "details" and is amazing behind the scenes. By the way, she is also an amazing graphic design artist. She designed my blog and has helped me transition into the whole world of blogging.
So thank you to my girls for your amazing friendship and talent. I couldn't have done it without you !!!!!!

Venue: Ruby Hill Country Club - Berni Fitzsimmons - Onsite Coordinator

Lauren's beautiful dress.....




And I loved her shoes




I just can't believe how gorgeous she is.


I had to get one of the gorgeous back of the dress.



Jon is so handsome...especially in his uniform.





A beautiful shot of the bride and her dad as she walks out to the ceremony.



A beautiful photo of the ceremony site at Ruby Hill.







The entire bridal party are having a great time.



Does this say "An Officer and a Gentleman"....













A group shot of every single guest inside the ballroom.





Lauren was so thoughtful to have a table for all of the children with fun games and treats.








First dance of the bride & groom....STUNNING !


Before they left for the evening, Lauren changed into this gorgeous little white dress. I had to end the evening with a couple of photos of them sneaking away for a quick private moment as husband and wife.
