Paige and Jason’s wedding isn’t until next July, but we already got their engagement photos done! We had quite a bit of fun shooting, from Squaw to Tahoe City to Speedboat Beach. Ahh, so hard to put the camera down! ; )
I’m already looking forward to the wedding!
I shot the Smith family at Sand Harbor for Danielle, who unexpectedly had to fly home to Australia at the drop of a hat. In addition to really cool family portraits we did some senior photos for Zach:
Alicia and Tim came up to the lake with their little sweetheart Brynn, for some with-baby and some without-baby engagement shots. She is picture perfect, can’t wait to see her in her flower girl attire! Oh and I think the wedding will be a lot of fun… : )
Andrea and Troy met with me at Speedboat Beach for a post-wedding bridal portrait session, which turned out fantastic! We had gorgeous clouds, which added so much drama and color. The two are very much in love and a dream to work with! They couldn’t get enough, just like me.
I will have to split this post into two, too much goodness to pack into one…
On one of the thus far rare perfect days this year, Amy and Brett came up for their engagement session. They were absolutely fabulous, very much in love, natural and so much fun to work with! It was really hard to narrow down the images to show here, there are so many I’d love to share. I just can’t wait for their wedding!!
A couple of weeks ago – just before we had that cold cold cold spell – I met up with Danielle, Mike and their Golden Stoli for some family portraits at Burnt Cedar Beach in Incline Village. Hard to believe we were in sweaters, with not the tiniest bit of snow around! The two are such a sweet couple and Danielle a gorgeous mom-to be, it was a joy shooting them. Stoli was a bit thick-headed, but what to expect from a year-old boy…
(Maternity photos in the next post!)
This was actually way back in August, but haven’t had a chance to blog it… it was last minute and casual! And, boy, did we get it done in the nick of time – little Taylor was born just 2 days later!
… and I spent a Wednesday morning at Zephyr Cove, which was gorgeous and nicely quiet, with hardly any people there – we had the whole little peninsula to ourselves. Better that way, as the family has quite a few members! And the kids could roam:
Capturing Courtney and John’s wedding at Garwoods last Saturday, and seeing the love between them and within their families, was a lot of fun and very touching. Many, many tears of joy and few tears of sadness were shed, mostly by Courtney, who is truly one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet. The day was gorgeous, the decorations absolutely stunning, from the custom menus, to the orchid plants (thanks again for giving me one, Maggie! I love it!). Add in a stunning bride with a most fabulous bird cage veil, and you have the perfect wedding, and a very happy groom!
These two could not let go of each other, or stop kissing – when they weren’t laughing!
