Summer Weddings

Every wedding is unique.  And summer weddings in general have their own flair.  Out of town guests from long and far, making a vacation out of the celebration.  Heat, always heat, and glorious air conditioning of the indoor receptions.  There is an energy throughout the day that is contagious and unbeatable.  

These images are from Mark and Sharon's wedding last summer.  I was flipping through images and remembered seeing all of the details that came together to make this day fabulous, so I had to post it.  

The sun lit ceremony and the colors throughout; bright greens, pinks and yellows.  And below are the littles.  Flower girls and ring bearers are priceless!

Weddings are great, we love weddings.  The excitement is unparalleled, wedding days are like no other.  But then you have Theme Weddings.  Theme Weddings take all of that excitement and blast it into the universe for joy to be felt by all that attend.  Last year's "Alice in Wonderland" wedding was unique and fabulous.  I could post over 100 images simply of guests enjoying themselves and the party, everyone seriously looks thrilled to be at this event.  And really, who wouldn't have been?  Here are some of the favorites from that day of the bride and groom:

Cameron and Nicole - October 2013

Cameron and Nicole's wedding day was a day of attention to details and of the joy these two bring to their everyday lives.  Held at Creek Haven Vineyard Estates in Chico, it was a dream to photograph with an abundance of creative options to choose from.   Indoors and outdoors, October can't be beat at Creek Haven Vineyard Estates!  It was a gorgeous day and we were thankful to be a part of it.

Ben and Paige - November 9th, 2013

Joy.  This wedding radiated with it.  Even so often, an event comes together without us noticing the stress that is all to prevalent surrounding weddings these days.  Whether it is fabulous planning or simply the personalities of the bride and groom, it is always a gift to be a part of the day.  Mark is very talented and experienced in reducing the stress surrounding the photography on a wedding day, and it is a great reason to hire him.  But for this one, he was off the hook!

Included here is a collection of portraits, reception and decor shots.   We capture it all throughout the course of the day, guaranteeing that our clients receive the formal portraiture and the collection of memories that made their day unique.
