Nicole + Jason: Married! [Chico Wedding Photographer]

Oh, this blustery day that turned out to be so beautiful! I will admit to some trepidation while driving down I-5 in sheets of sideways rain that had traffic slowed to 40 mph. Fortunately, Nicole and Jason had a plan "B" at the Card Center in Chico for just such a thing. Miraculously, every time we wanted outdoors shots it stopped raining and even got sunny. A beautiful day, super fun bridesmaids -- especially Mississippi with her lovely accent! The groom's sister officiated and did a perfect job in spite of a little teary-eyed-ness. We got a trolley of our own to play with! Two beautiful families melded into one! Dancing that just would not quit! You two are a truly lovely couple and I just know you'll have a happy life together. Thanks for trusting me with your wedding photos and I hope you had a fun-filled Caribbean honeymoon!

Pardon my construction..

My website (not my blog) is moving to a new server. For a period of 72 hours (max), the files will be "migrating." In the next day or two the site should be live again. When it is, come visit!~ It's a full page site and mobile-friendly, unlike my last (flash) site. I hope you come visit! Thanks for your patience!

Babies, Babies Everywhere!! {Redding Baby Photographer}

I'm usually shooting brides and not babies. Until the magical moment when my brides have babies, that is!! Then, I can't help myself. It's such a warm fuzzy feeling. It gives me a big excuse for some baby-snuggling time. Who can resist them? Weddings are in short supply this time of year but happily, babies are not. Here's wishing you some baby love for 2012!

Nicole + Jason Engagement - Honey Run Covered Bridge {Chico Wedding Photographer}

Nicole + Jason! What a darling couple! It was a gloriously beautiful day to shoot an engagement session. Not only did we have the breathtaking Honey Run Covered Bridge to shoot at, but a very cool neighbor and local antique car icon loaned us his amazing antique cars and cool barn for backdrops. Nicole & Jason will marry in March at The Card Center in Chico. I have a feeling it will be great fun! You guys were super easygoing and fun to shoot. Hurry spring!

Alisha + Nick Engagement Shoot {Chico Wedding Photographer}

What a fun engagement shoot!! We got up with the chickens! Well, we met at 8:00 a.m. -- mainly to avoid the smoldering oven that was yesterday in Chico and Redding. We went for a relaxing photo-stroll through One Mile in Chico and then down to CSU for a bit. Alisha and Nick will tie the knot at the Butte Creek Country Club in June next year. I'm definitely looking forward to it. They radiate happiness!
