Northern California & Nevada Engagement Photography - Michael and Kelly's Engagement Session

Michael and Kelly are such a sweet couple. Plus, they are both good looking: just look at Kelly's eyes...they are outstanding! Not only are they sweet and good looking, but they took direction so well and were open to all of my ideas. Engagement photos are so important because it really helps make you feel comfortable in front of the camera prior to wedding day. It didn't take long for these two to warm up to me!

Michael and Kelly are planning their Northern California wedding from Southern California. There are so many important things to consider when planning a wedding that this distance can sometimes present a problem. One thing that helps is to surround yourself with people (friends, family, even vendors) who are willing to dive in a provide assistance. Hiring professionals who you can trust is so important. To coordinate this engagement session, I was in communication with Kelly her sister/maid of honor and her mother. I can already tell the support system for these two is very strong and I feel sooo lucky to be trusted during this special time in this couple's lives.

I love how all the photos turned out from this engagement session. I can't wait to work with these two love birds again and photograph their Lake Tahoe Wedding next year! Congratulations again, you two, on your engagement, and thank you for making the trip to Reno for your engagement photos!

Matthew & Cambria's Fall Engagement Session in Bidwell Park, Chico CA.

Engagement Sessions that include those beloved furry animals of ours are always so much fun. Matthew & Cambria wanted their dogs to be a part of their engagement photos and, of course, I said that would be fine. We decided on Bidwell Park. Bidwell Park is definitely one of the coolest parks in Northern California.

With an enormous expanse of over 3,670 acres, there are endless locations to photograph and it is absolutely stunning in the fall. We decided on 5-mile park to start the session with the dogs. Thanks to Cambria's Dad: once we got enough photos with the dogs, he was able to take them home so we could continue to photograph the bride and groom to be.

I had so much fun with these guys. After having to reschedule due to rainy weather - we didn't want the dogs to get muddy - we ended up having the perfect day! Congratulations, Matthew & Cambria, on your engagement. I am so excited to photograph your wedding day!
