Sadie + Zach || Sacramento riverside Wedding

Back in September we were able to go to up Sacramento to photograph one of my former YWAM buddies wedding. Zach and Sadie met in Germany during their time in YWAM and soon  realized they shared more than just a love for the Lord but that they were sharing feelings for each other. They have been able to travel the world spreading the good new and gospel and have now returned to Sacramento to start their lives together as man and wife. It was such a joy to be able to capture their love (they are such a photogenic couple!) I couldn't have asked for better lighting or backdrop ( right along the river banks!) I now give you The Dunaways...

Ashley + Patrick || Carlsbad Flower Fields Wedding || Carlsbad, Ca

Oh boy has it been a busy few months. We are just getting ready to start the next leg of our wedding season from now until November. I am so excited for all the upcoming awesome weddings we get to be apart of!

For now I am excited to finally be able to share Ashley + Patrick's Carlsbad Flower Field Wedding from June. It was such a fun wedding to photograph! I have loved working with this couple from the get go. So laid back, nice and just all around good people. I have really enjoyed getting to know them as I worked with them through their wedding photography process and by also photographing some of their friends and families weddings as well! I love keeping it in the family!

Enough talk! Lets get to the images!

Deya + Kevin || Saddle Rock Ranch Wedding || Malibu, Ca

I am very excited to get this wedding on the blog! Deya and Kevin are just naturals in front of the camera and it shows! Their Saddle Rock Ranch Wedding in Malibu on June 7th of 2014 was just as much fun to photograph as they are! Saddle Rock Ranch is a beautiful rustic vineyard tucked away in the hills of Malibu with rolling hills and weeping willows and is complete with a safari park! Filled with zebras, camels, emus, water buffalo and peacocks and so much more! It sure was unique and I am so blessed to have been able to share in this day with them!!!
