.lady in red. {Redding, CA Engagement Photographer}

About a year ago Melissa did some modeling for me & had brought this beautiful red dress to the shoot. Knowing she was dating David, and they were pretty serious I asked her to hold the dress for their engagement shoot! I just had this feeling that it would make for the most amazing engagement photos! The dress, along with the beautiful couple, made stunning photos! I couldn’t be more happier! It was such a great shoot! Both David & Melissa were so anticipating the shoot, ready to pose it up, ready to have fun, & willing to try anything! Thank you both for the honor of capturing the magic that you share!!

.Paul + Mandy = U N O. {Redding, CA Wedding Photographer}

Paul & Mandy are my kids Sunday School Teachers & how my kids LOVE them!!!! Kira asked me if Mandy was going to wear her “cool” hat that she wears every Sunday to the wedding?? I love kids & their wonderment of life!!!!!! They did bring along Vince the puppet to add a few laughts to the ceremony!!! Paul & Mandy are so much fun & have the sweetest hearts!!! The ceremony took place in Lakehead, California. It was an absolutely stunning venue. And the two shall become ONE!!! U N O!! Thanks for the honor of capturing your beautiful day! 

 

 

.luke + marche’ = stunning!. {Redding, CA Wedding Photographer}

I was so thrilled to capture Luke & Marche`s wedding, with my husband right along side! It was absolutely incredible! The ceremony was held up in Mt. Shasta at a quaint little church, Hope Community Church, & the reception was in McLoud at the Mercantile. It was incredible! The wedding was coordinated by the AHHMAZING Gwen Edwardson! From top to bottom she made sure everything was taken care of! She pulled off the wedding with much success!! Sean Gafner catered the event, and let me tell you, it was TASTY!!! The flowers were arranged beautifully by Terri Barr . The reception was a blast with music by Ray Pettengell. To top it off, Ron Loos drove them to the reception in his stunning vintage car!!!

Thank you, Luke & Marche’ for the honor of capturing your most beautiful day!!!! & Marche’, yes, “we’re sisters!”  LOL!

Luke & Marche’ chose to see each other before the wedding! It was magical!!

This next one was taken by my husband, and becoming my most incredible assistant! I love how he captured the light & the moment here!

.connection. {Redding, CA Wedding Photographer}

Over the last several months I have really “felt” being connected vs. not being connected. It is our life: connection. We live for connection. Being aware of my connection with the relationships that I have with people has really been life altering. I have honestly lived with connections being within arms reach. That is changing. Learning connection, living connected, and being a connector!

Photographing Clayton & Lindsay was honestly so special! I witnessed a connection between two people that I have never seen before. I cannot quite describe it, but the connection that they shared was magical!! I am looking forward to capturing their wedding! It is going to be ahhhhmazing!!!!!!

They mentioned loving black & white photos, so hence the black & white!! Oh– and  Kara Stewart  thank you so much for the referral!!!!!

.tommy + destiny. {Redding, CA Engagement Photographer}

‘Tis the season for engagement shoots!!! AHHH! Love them!!!! So enjoy meeting new couples! Hearing their stories & where they are at in the wedding planning cycle!!

I met Destiny last April during Art Hop at Monica’s Vintage!!! She had me at hello!!! I was sooo hoping she would hire me to capture her wedding & guess what?!!!! Tommy & Destiny have been together just over two years!!!! They love Hawaii!! However, are going to adventure somewhere new for their honeymoon!!! It’s a surprise!!! They are getting married in July– I cannot wait! It is going to be so beautiful!!!!!!

.adam & crystal. {Redding, CA Engagement Photographer}

I met Crystal last summer at the Redding Aquatic Center. She was Conner & Kira’s diving instructor! She is AHHHMAZING! I think the kids ended up doing three diving sessions just because they loved Crystal sooo much!!!

This was the fastest engagment session I have ever shot. I think we worked it in about 45 minutes, with two outfit changes!! We did a split photosession. Half engagment & the other half Crystal’s bridesmaids, see post below….I couldn’t be more excited & honored to capture her & Adam’s wedding in 2011!!! She is beyond organized & has an amazing eye & is filled with creativity & fun!! Looking forward to capturing your wedding, Adam & Crystal! Happy Wedding Planning!!!!

.the ladies. {Redding, CA Engagement Photographer}

This photoshoot ranks one of the scariest photoshoots I have yet experienced!!!! Redding has been seriously RAINY this season, so it seems as though each photoshoot we are trying to escape the rain somehow. It started raining during this photoshoot, so I thought… let’s just shoot under awnings of buildings… We were posing it up & soon enough we were all being chased by a man with a bat yelling the craziest things ever. My heart was LITERALLY beating outside of my chest!! It was crazy!! Thank you Jesus for angels & making it out of there unharmed!!!!!

…Memories, eh!!! Crystal chose to split her engagement session with her fiance & her bridal party! She thought it would be super fun to have a photoshoot with her bff’s & wants to have the cutest pictures on her wedding website!!!!!  These ladies were sooo much fun! I’m looking forward to hanging with them once again at Crystal’s wedding!!!! Girls– It was super fun! Thanks for making it through the cold & rain! You are all STUNNINGLY beautiful & are the best bridesmaids EVER!!!!!!

All the girls make-up was done by the amazing Allison Elliot!

.christopher & amy. {USA Wedding Photographer}

It was such an amazing thrill to fly to St. Louis to capture Christopher & Amy’s wedding.  It was a Hebrew Wedding & was so beautiful! The wedding started with the sound of a chauffeur. The sound resonated through the field, it was stunning!! It was hard to fight back the tears during the ceremony, it was so lovely! One of the biggest highlights were the fireflies & bugs! They chirped like none-other!! It was quite an experience to hear them at night…..Just thinking of the sound makes me smile!!!!!

Thank  you, Christopher & Amy, for letting me be apart of your most romantical day!! It was truly an honor!!! Bless you!!!!

We did a few “day after” photos! What an experience to shoot in St. Louis!!!! So wish I could’ve spent more time there!!
