“I am not nervous at all!” Amanda exclaimed when she walked through the doors of the Sequoia Mansion in Auburn, California. It was a magical day. Sunshine and warm air circulated outside and flooded through the windows. We had the pleasure of photographing Amanda and Matt right before Christmas. The mansion was decorated beautifully and the air was festive. Amanda had been out of the state for work and had not seen Matt for about 6 months prior to their wedding. She came back to town only a week before the big day, and had to work fast to get everything together. They worked as a team and the day went off without a hitch. They were able to stay in the moment and enjoy their families and festivities. They were married on the converted porch under the beautifully decorated silver plated ceiling. The wedding was small and intimate with just close family and friends in attendance.

Napa Valley is the place to go when you want a high class, romantic, and intimate wedding. Mikhaela and Sean got just that at the Calistoga Ranch in Calistoga, Ca. This couple originally booked us to shoot their wedding at a local Sacramento venue, but decided they wanted a more intimate setting. After going back and forth between dates and exotic locations, they settled on the Calistoga Ranch for their wedding. They are such a fun loving couple and have become good friends of ours. It was hard not to feel apart of their family as they only invited their closest family and friends to attend. They really wanted a feeling of closeness, and that was achieved beautifully.

By the time this wedding rolled around, we had already shot four consecutive weddings there, so we knew exactly what images we wanted […]
