Sacramento Portrait Photographer - Adam & Emily Engaged

So excited for their fall wedding, but first... the engagement session! Adam & Emily in some familiar places on eclipse day ^_^

Happy Anniversary to ElleCee ^_^

Wow, can't believe we are at another anniversary. Not that we had any doubt in ourselves, but when so many others tell us that failure is more successful than success itself, it gets tough. The odds, especially in the photography industry, were, and are, not in our favor. We're still going strong though, thanks to each other, and most of all, thanks to you!

We don't settle into one type of photography because we love it all. Maternity, children's, family, engagement, wedding, boudoir, model, fashion, and food photography.. we've had a fortunate opportunity to cover it all! We've had amazing clients turned friends, friends turned clients... We're also very fortunate to have the best, very supportive photography community. This year, we get to look forward to some more excitement, including a wedding of our own! We're so very excited that you joined us in our journey and look forward to sharing with you some more. If you don't know how we got started, go ahead and read about our beginning!

For now, do enjoy this random collection that is us. Some behind the scenes, some work, some fun :D ...

Sacramento Wedding Photographer - La Provence, Roseville - Karisa & Anthony

Who knew a trip to sign up at our local 24 hour fitness would lead to us meeting one of the greatest couples!  We were told by our gym membership specialist that his co-worker was getting married soon and they were looking for a photographer.  We heard from Karisa almost immediately and sat down with her to discuss her Wedding.  She and Anthony had met at the gym after he had spied her working out.  There was definitely a mutual crush going on between them, but it took another few months of failed attempts to hang out for Karisa to take matters into her own hands and ask Anthony out on a date.  They have been inseparable ever since!

After Anthony proposed to Karisa at the top of Coit Tower in San Francisco, Karisa dove headfirst into Wedding planning and put their love and personality into every detail.  She turned into the ultimate crafter and even got Anthony in on some of action!  Together, they planned the most amazing day to share with their closest friends and family.  From their sweet first look, to their emotional ceremony (ElleCee even got choked up with emotion!) to dancing the night away while their guests dug into an awesome create-your-own frozen yogurt bar, they thought of everything!

We feel so lucky to have gotten to know these two, both as clients and as friends.  We photographed their engagement session almost exactly one year before their wedding day and because we worked out at the same gym we got to know them even better!  Nothing like doing hip-hop dance workouts with your bride before her big day, right??
