Zach & Jess // Wedding



Zach and Jess got married in the Livermore hills at Poppy Ridge Golf Course surrounded by people who love them. The wedding took place four days before Christmas and as usual California winter is rather forgiving. Anywhere else would have been a snow storm, but in California it's blue skies and 
rolling green hills. Ah, California. Sometimes I think I want to live somewhere else, but then I realize that I probably couldn't survive a winter anywhere else.

Excitement and anticipation filled the air as it often does leading up to the ceremony. Being with Jess and Zach,  they just wanted it to be over--to be together--to get to the married part--to be in each other's arms. I love when clients care about their wedding, but I love it even more when they care about their marriage. That the wedding is just a beautiful celebration of what is really happening in the years to come. Zach and Jess embody this so well.

 When his bride walked down the aisle, you could see the nerves leaving both Jess and Zach's face replaced with joy and contentment. It's as if they found what they've been searching for. As if walking down that aisle both of them whispered, "oh, there you are."

Cassie and Brady // Engagement



 I love the small window of time I got to be in their life. Cassie and Brady are east coast natives who met in college in Utah. Newly engaged, they were visiting the west coast and thought that would make for a pretty awesome engagement shoot. Spot on, because getting pictures of Cassie touching the Pacific Ocean for the first time was awesome to witness!

But more than that, I get to witness the start of something incredible. A new start. So sincere and pure. She's spunky and he loves her for it. He's steadfast and she loves him for it.

Together these two fit. You can see it in how they hold each other and how they look at each other. 
Somewhere in their hearts, they've made a place for each other. Carving out more and more room as they fall more in love with each growing day.
