Denelle & Chris's Engagement Session- Truckee, CA Engagement Photography

During the last visit to Truckee I had an engagement session planned with fellow Truckee High School Graduates, Denelle and Chris. One amazing thing about being from a a small town is everyone has known each other for a very long time. But Denelle and Chris have something more special in common then just being from Truckee. They are the classic story of "the girl/boy next-door." Growing up as neighbors on Donner Lake, it wasn't until after High School that they started dating. You can really see the love for each other that they found. You can also see the love they have for the town they live in.

Since both Denelle and Chris are Truckee locals and their families are long time locals, the locations of their engagement session were easy to decide on and they knew they wanted their two dogs to be in the photos. Downtown Truckee was where we started out taking photos. The Bar of America was a perfect location for some fun photos of the dogs outside the bar and the couple drinking a beer inside. We spent some time on the Railroad Tracks and behind the shops but decided we needed to rush to our second location before sunset. Rainbow Bridge on the West Side of Truckee would be the first to lose sunlight during the winter and when that happens, it gets cold. We made it up to the scenic overlook with enough time for some fun photos on the bridge with Donner Lake in the background.

I had so much fun on this engagement photo session. Not only did I get to take engagement pictures in beautiful Truckee, but I also got to catch up with some old friends. Thank you Denelle and Chris for the amazing session. Congratulations on your engagement and I can not wait to capture your special wedding day!
