Shannon and Mike 5/10/08

Shannon and Mike were married this past Saturday at The Sloccum House, a cute little restaurant in Fair Oaks.

Like many couples this year, they chose to do all their portraits ahead of time. Because their Ceremony started at 11:00am, we had to start at 9:00 in order to get all the pictures done. I was so impressed because the girls were all ready! Can you imagine what time they must've had to have woken up, to have their hair and make-up and everything else done by 9:00! I was so proud! ;)

We finished all portraits with time to spare. The ceremony was very emotional, there weren't very many dry eyes, mine included! Emotions make for great pictures!
















No, it's not a starbucks advertisement, Shannon just REEeally likes Starbucks!

























































how funny that the venue has a sign at the ceremony site that says "emergency exit" we HAD to take a picture with that!!

Jessica and Wally

We shot Jessica and Wally's engagement session this evening at Rainbow Bridge. Jessica and Wally are from the Bay area, so they had quite a drive for the session!

They met in college where they were friends for several years before Jessica finally agreed to an official "date". They've been dating now for 5 years and are going to be married this September at a private residence in Placerville!

This was their first time having professional portraits taken, and they did a great job!











I think he likes her kisses!

Jenae and Kyle 5/3/08

Jenae and Kyle were married this past Saturday at Jenae's parents house in Roseville. It was a small and personal Wedding. The ranch style house gave it a very country feel. It was very sweet and romantic.

They decorated with yellow's oranges and browns. Jenae and Kyle kept their day simple, choosing to do only a few of the wedding day traditions. They made their wedding day their own. I think having it at their parents house will prove to be quite special, as they can re-visit their day, anytime they want.
