I’ve known Shea since high school.  She was one of those super pretty popular girls you just wanted to hate…but couldn’t because she was just so darn nice!  Since high school we have reconnected on (where else) facebook.  I was so happy when I saw that she recently got engaged…and secretly hoped she’d contact me for pictures.  I was so happy when she finally did.

Friday I met up with this couple for their engagement session.  They are getting married next year out of state.  Congrats guys!

I just love her expression in this one…CUTE!!

My lovely bride to be last wednesday picked the perfect location for her engagement session…Corn!  Grapes!  A persimmon Orchard!  What more could a photographer want?

Out of all my weddings this year theirs is the most anticipated ceremony.  What makes it so special?  They are getting married in a hot air balloon!  We’ll be soaring over Napa as they say their vows.  I.cant.wait.

So cute!  They look so happy!

I’ve been looking forward to this session for awhile…mostly due to the fact that they wanted an urban session.  We took a short walk downtown, and then finished off a session with a visit to their wedding venue.  Enjoy!

I spent the weekend in the bay area having a mini vacation with the family, shooting and Chinese banquet, and meeting this fun couple for an engagement session.  They are getting married in Hawaii and unfortunately (for me) already have a photographer booked…but wanted their engagement session back here in California on a beach.  This is where I stepped in!  We met at the beautiful Kehoe Beach towards the end of the day for an awesome session.  Enjoy!

And so my faithful readers…if you or anyone you know are getting married in some far off exotic place and need a photographer, please contact me for details!  I would love to be your destination photographer.  :)

I ended my memorial day weekend the same way I started…with an engagement session!  We met at Negro Bar in Folsom just before the sun went down.  The lighting was gorgeous and weather was lovely.  Towards the end of the session we drove downtown to the top of a parking garage for some shots at sunset.  Enjoy!

I am anything but a morning person.  I let my boys sneak into bed with me every morning despite their constant squirming just so I can have a few more minutes before I have to face the day.  So when my engagement session with this happy couple was rescheduled due to rain and there was no possible way to squeeze another one in at a decent time of day before they had to go back home to San Diego there was only one solution…a 7am session before I headed up the hill for a weekend in Lake Tahoe.  I was surprised and relieved when they agreed to this ungodly time without hesitation.  Thanks for waking up early for me guys!!

This happy couple is getting married in only a little over 2 short weeks!  Busy schedules and nasty weather didn’t allow us to finally have our session until recently.  Enjoy guys!

I always struggle with what to write…so I’ll just let the pictures speak for themselves today.  Last night I went on a lovely nature walk with this cute couple.  Enjoy!!
