Alexandra & Jason wanted a woodsy vibe for their engagement photos. Redwood Regional Park in Oakland provides the perfect backdrop! Their adorable cat, Pandora also joined us for the shoot. We were nervous about Pandora running off into the woods. But Pandora behaved herself and didn’t stray from us (thankfully!). We loved getting those treasured […]

Melissa and Torrence booked us for their Sacramento engagement shoot back in 2019 and we were planning for it to take place in early April. However, due to the COVID-19 shut down we kept putting it off, until it finally happened in June! Because we shoot so much in downtown Sacramento and Old Town, we […]

This was such an exciting opportunity.  I was lucky enough to be invited by Strelitzia Flower Company to participate in a Styled Shoot at Antiquité Maison Privée in midtown Sacramento.  If you can’t tell from the photos they have a gorgeous quaint and vintage setting for an intimate wedding.  Perfect for the outdoor micro-wedding fad necessitated by the pandemic.  […]

Kaylee and Cody’s engagement shoot took place at Marshall’s Beach in San Francisco.  They knew they wanted their shoot to take place at a beach but they just weren’t sure which beach to pick.  We ultimately decided on Marshall’s beach because of the view of the Golden Gate Bridge.  And it didn’t disappoint with the rocks, and […]

Malvina and Andrew’s engagement shoot was such a fun time in South Lake Tahoe.  Since it was our first time shooting up in the area, we visited the location a few weeks earlier ahead of our shoot so that we could scope out all the nice areas for photos. We decided to head to the […]

Mira and Kevin’s California coast beach engagement photoshoot was truly a magical experience, if you can’t already tell from the photos themselves.  We left Sacramento at about 1:00 PM for Montara State Beach.  Kevin and Mira picked me and my assistant up in their car and we drove together.  I loved that because it created a […]

I originally got in contact with Alexandra and Zachary through Alexandra’s mother, Melissa who found me through a referral and hired me to shoot her daughter’s wedding.  Alexandra and Zachary live in Florida because Zachary is based there in the military.  But because they fell in love with Grand Island Mansion in Walnut Grove, they decided to […]

Vith and Scott’s wedding took place in August 2019, and boy was their wedding a blast.  Don’t get me wrong, it was a lot of hard work too.  Their wedding began at Morris Chapel on the Campus of the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California.  They had a lot going on.  Luckily, I had my A […]

The day of Walberta and Wilmot’s wedding started a little stressful for me.  I had a team booked for this wedding, which included two videographers (Dave and Mike), myself and a second photographer (Tessa).  That morning I got a call from Dave to let me know that his pregnant wife was going into labor and […]

Patti and Michael had an intimate wedding and opted for Philippe Studio Pro’s marriage photography and wedding video service at the Rocklin Event Center in July 2019.  It was a hot day, but that didn’t stop everyone from having fun.  It’s so obvious that Patti and Michael are head over heals for one another.  I […]
