Tim and Camille chose the hottest day of the decade (in Forestville). Still, it was a wonderful day, full of fun, good food, good feelings and lots of emotion. Great location, a secluded house with a huge yard and great view. More pics soon.

William and Alexendra (what GREAT names!)

Two fine actors from the Marin Shakespear Co. What a kick having them as subjects for our afternoon shoot at China Camp. Naturals, and so completely in love. Perfect together as Romeo and Juliet (but without quite so much drama). Can't wait for their wedding in October.

Vanessa & John's Wedding at the Citizen

This was an instant favorite of ours! Beautiful details, incredible flowers gorgeous couple.

Vanessa and John on the Folsom Bridge

Here's a sneak peek at the wedding...

Lots more coming for Vanessa and John. We spent an afternoon making some of the most fun and cozy pictures, all over Folsom.

Tim and Camille in Sebastopol

Yesterday we spent a terrific day with Tim and Camille (wedding in Sept). It'd been months since we'd seen them, and had no idea that the day would turn out to be one of our most delightful shoots. We remembered they lived in a small corner of Sebastopol, which turned out to be the best backdrop ever. With three restaurants, two gardens, an antique store and gallery and a couple of abandoned buildings, it's a tiny town. Beautiful - very, very beautiful town. And a GREAT couple, one of our most fun days. Stay tuned for pics of their orchard, piggies and puppies.

Michelle & Andreas - Wedding in Benicia

The beautiful Michelle from Mexico & handsome Andreas from Switzerland, in a beautiful church and a beautiful ceremony. Lots of joy and tears. I love it when the couple honors the Virgin Mary or another saint as part of the ceremony.

They then partied down in a beautiful winery in beautiful Sonoma County. Her mother sang with the band (which was terrific). Her father's broken foot made it difficult to walk her down the isle, but they managed anyway. He even managed to dance, while in his wheelchair.

David & Lauren - watercolor from a photograph

Several photographs, actually. OK, a bunch of photographs and several days with Painter and Photoshop. Good thing I'm not paid by the hour!

David & Lauren (Elk Grove wedding) have a beautiful pond on the property. At sunset, it's stunning. As is the bride.

Thomas & Melissa's engagement shoot

Thomas & Melissa at the Citizen Hotel. Their September wedding promises to be a knock-out, with Debra handling the event. Lovely couple, sweet man, sexy woman!

Stay tuned for more pics from the engagement shoot. Lots more!

Lovely Lauren of David & Lauren's wedding in Elk Grove in June. One of the hottest days of the year, but the wedding was beautiful, flowers were the best yet, and overall, one of the most beautiful receptions we've worked on (thanks to Debra Heibert of Tres Fabu). More to come.
