Kate and Mark 7/27/08

Yesterday we shot Kate and Mark's wedding in Napa. They were married in a Napa Valley Church, and the reception followed at the gorgeous Chardonnay Gold Club, which btw, says is on a street it's not really truly on...talk about taking me on a wild goose chase! Thank G, the couple was a few minutes behind me!

Side note...isn't it funny how many Friday/Sunday weddings are taking place this year? I shot Friday and Sunday, but no Sat.

Anyway, Kate and Mark are each others first boyfriend/girlfriend, and now they are married. How many people can say that? SO CUTE!

We had a great time, and got some really incredible pictures.

Here are a few of our best shots.







yes, that's a tear, HOW SWEET!











sometimes, the wind works in our favor :)















and they lived happily ever after

Vanessa and Mike

We did Vanessa and Mike's E session late last week in Downtown Sac! We went all over DT as we typically do, we had a good time and of course got some crazy cool shots! Vanessa and Mike will be married in December, right after Christmas. Can't wait!

Francesca and John 7/25/08

Francesca and John were married on Friday, July 25th. I was lucky to be able to capture their day! They were married at the beautiful Bella Piazza Winery in Plymouth, Ca. Plymouth has many winery's, but this is one of the nicest I've seen!

Francesca and John met while in school, both Engineers. Which explains the wedding favors they chose, measuring tape..."measure up some love"...how cute!

They are very sweet couple who like to have fun. They are very animated and were intent on doing not only the formal shots, but also some fun ones!

We had a great time!
