Tropical California Wedding At The Palms | Jaci + George
Being A Traveling Photographer Has Taken Me To Many Places Throughout The State And Beyond, But My “home Base” Is Chico, California. Chico Is A Nationally Designated City Of Trees, And Much Of The Town Is Lined With Giant Sycamores And Oaks. The City Is Also Surrounded By Orchard Land That Deals Primarily In Almonds And Walnuts. Hidden Amongst All Of These Northern California Native Trees Is The Palms. As Soon As You Enter The Property, It’s Easy To See Why The Palms Is One Of Chico’s Most Popular Event Venues. The Breathtaking Private Venue Is Lush With Hundreds Of Palm Trees And Life Teeming Everywhere You Look. This Unique Tropical Oasis Is Where Chico-natives George And Jaci Chose To Host Their Tropical-themed Wedding.george And Jaci Initially Met In 2010 As Students At Pleasant Valley High School In Chico, But It Was Not Love At First Sight. It Wasn’t Until Their Paths Crossed Again At Butte College That They Started To Get To Know One Another And Spend Time Together. After Gym Dates, Hikes In Upper Bidwell Park, And Movies Together, The Two Became Official In 2012. Throughout Their Young Adult Lives, Jobs And Internships Kept George And Jaci Apart At Times, But They Always Had One Another And Chico To Call Home. In 2019 While On Vacation On The Big Island Of Hawaii, George Proposed To Jaci, And She Said Yes! They Decided To Incorporate Some Of Their Engagement’s Tropical Spirit Into Their Wedding, And They Knew That The Palms Would Be The Perfect Location To Do It.jaci Started Her Wedding Day At The Palms Getting Ready With Her Mom And Close Friends. They All Wore Robes Featuring Palm Leaves Which Set The Tone For The Tropical Celebration That Lay Ahead.

George And Jaci Shared Their First Dance And Beamed As Their Family And Friends Toasted To Their Future. The Whole Evening Was Full Of Fun And Laughter, But My Favorite Moment Came When It Was Time For The Newlyweds To Depart. George And Jaci Chose A Unique And Vibrant Wedding Exit. They Had Glow Sticks At The Ready For Their Guests To Light The Way As They Started Their Journey As Husband And Wife. George And Jaci’s Guests Headed Outside, Lined The Walkway, Glow Sticks In Hand, And Saw The New Couple Off In A Beautiful And Colorful Display.

Jyla + Aj's Family Engagement Session
One Of The Wonderful Parts About Being A Traveling Photographer Is That My Clients Often Introduce Me To New Locations. When Jyla And Aj Told Me They Wished To Do Their Combined Engagement Family Session In Jonesville, Ca, It Was The First I Had Heard Of The Small Community. Once I Arrived, It Didn’t Take Long For Jonesville To Become A New Favorite Of Mine. located A Little More Than An Hour Away From Chico City Limits, Jonesville Is A Small Unincorporated Community In Butte County Situated On Jones Creek About 5 Miles East Of Butte Meadows. I Met With Jyla, Aj, And Their Son Cody At The Jonesville Hotel. Aj’s Mom’s Boyfriend Renovated The Over Century-old Jonesville Hotel, A Designated Historic Butte County Landmark. After Taking A Few Family Photos On The Steps Of The Jonesville Hotel, We Moved Into The Pine-lined Meadow The Hotel Backs Up Against To Continue Shooting. We Also Captured Some Gorgeous Images On Historic Humboldt Road In Front Of An Old Stage-stop Barn. for Jyla And Aj, Their Engagement Represents A Big Step In Their Journey As A Family, So While They Wanted Many Traditional Engagement Shots As A Couple, It Was Important To Them To Include Son Cody In On The Fun Of The Day. At 5000 Ft In Elevation, Jonesville Is Solidly A Mountain Community. This Shot Was In November, Right Before The First Snow Of The Season…and It Was So Cold. But Jyla, Aj, And Even Cody Were Such Champs About It And Smiled The Whole Way Through The Chilly Session.it Is Always So Wonderful To Get To Know Clients And Shoot In Locations That Are Special To Them. I Am So Thankful To Jyla And Aj For Introducing Jonesville To Me. It Is Now One Of My Favorite Places!see Their Photos By Clicking View Gallery Below.

Ari + Stephanie's Table Mountain Engagement Session
Ari And Stephanie Are The Types Of People You Immediately Want To Be Friends With. This Cool Couple Brought A Little Edginess And A Lot Of Laughter To Their Engagement Shoot. Ari And Stephanie Chose To Do A Sunset Session With A Hint Of Southwestern Influence At The North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve In Oroville, California.the Rugged Terrain Of North Table Mountain In July Offered Some Unique Photo Opportunities For This Adventurous Pair. We Started The Session With A Long Hike To Capture Some Shots Of Ari And Stephanie Among The Dried Grasses And Rolling Basalt (lava Rock) Hills. We Then Stumbled Upon Some Beautiful Vernal Pools. These Seasonal Pools Are Created When Rainwater Becomes Trapped By The Underlying Basalt And Typically Have Evaporated By This Point In The Summer. We Took Advantage Of These Dramatic Reflecting Pools And Captured Some Stunning Shots Of Ari And Stephanie. we Headed Back Towards The Trail Where Ari And Stephanie Did A Quick Wardrobe Change. Stephanie Works For The Chico Founded International Clothing Retailer Lulus—which Means Their Outfits Were Absolutely On Point. Ari And Stephanie Remained So Joyful Through All Our Spelunking And Despite A Surprising Amount Of Grasshoppers Jumping All Around Us. These Two Told Me Before Their Shoot That They Are Super Awkward Taking Photos But As You Can See They Were Anything But. We Found A Field Of Tall Dried Wildflowers That Accented Ari And Stephanie’s Free-spirited Vibe Perfectly.ari And Stephanie’s Session Lasted Long Enough After Sunset That We Got To Enjoy The Blue Hour. This Period Of Twilight Just Before Dusk Leaves Enough Natural Light To Capture Crystal Clear Subject Shots While The Sky Shifts To Deeper Hues Of Blue And Purple. The Low Hanging Full Moon Was A Beautiful Guest In Many Of Our Final Shots.ari And Stephanie Ended The Session By Popping A Bottle Of Champagne. A Previous Client Let Me In On A Trick To Get The Perfect Celebratory Spray– You Hold Your Thumb Over The Top Of The Open Champagne Bottle, Give It A Shake, Then Move Your Thumb Slightly, Like You Would A Garden Hose, To Let Out Just A Little Bit Of Champagne… Ari Pulled The Stunt Off Wonderfully And Created A Superb Spray Of Bubbles. I Was Able To Capture A Great Series Of Photos And Turn Those Shots Into A Fun Gif. It Was A Terrific End To Ari And Stephanie’s Uniquely Bohemian And Perfectly Romantic Engagement Session.click View Gallery Below To See Some Of My Faves From Their Session!

Adventurous Destination Engagement Session At Convict Lake
Tyler And Kacie Knew Early On That They Wanted To Capture Their Engagement Photos Somewhere That Held A Special Meaning To Them And Showcased Their Adventurous Spirits. Convict Lake, Which Is Nestled In The Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountain Range About 25 Minutes Southeast Of Mammoth Mountain, Quickly Became The Location That Tyler And Kacie Set Their Hearts On.destination Engagement Shoots Create A Unique Type Of Magic For Me As A Photographer. Not Only Does It Give Me The Opportunity To Experience Places That I Have Never Been Before, But It Adds Another Layer Of Sentimentality To The Shoot. Tyler Grew Up Vacationing With His Family At Convict Lake And His Excitement To Return There To Commemorate His Engagement To Kacie Was Apparent And Inspiring. when We Arrived At The Lake, It Was Immediately Clear Why Tyler’s Family Chose To Spend Their Summers There. Convict Lake Is A Glacial Lake Known For Its Turquoise-blue Water As Well As The Dramatic Mountains That Surround It. We Started The Session By Setting Out On A 3-mile Hiking Trail That Goes Around The Lake; With Tyler And Kacie’s Pup Lambo, An Adorable And Energetic Shepherd-lab Mix, In Tow. on The Far Side Of The Lake, The Majesty Of The Sierra Nevada Mountain Range’s Ecosystem Took Hold Of Me. A Grove Of Aspen Trees Edged The Lake And All The Flora And Fauna Created A Magical Feel To This Slightly Secluded Stretch Of Shoreline. The Glass-clear Water Fed From The Surrounding Peak’s Melting Snowpack Looked Cool And Refreshing. The Weather Was A Perfect 75 Degrees And There Was A Freshening Breeze From A Light Summer Storm Rolling In. having Such A Perfect Backdrop And Beautiful Couple Such As Tyler And Kacie Can Make My Job Easy. I Was Glad To Have The Setting In Subjects Down Pat Because Shooting During The Covid-19 Pandemic Created Unique Challenges. I Wore A Face Mask For The Entirety Of The Shoot With Tyler And Kacie. It’s A Funny Thing To Tell Someone To Smile Or Laugh When They Can’t See You Doing It Yourself; You Really Have To Cue With Your Body Language And Vocal Expressions Instead. This New Way Of Working Has Made Me A Much More Animated Photographer, Which Of Course, Had All Of Us Laughing. after Shooting On The Far Side Of The Lake We Hopped Back On The Trail And Returned To The Marina. Tyler And Kacie Share A Love For Beer—sierra Nevada Beer To Be Exact—and Decided To End The Shoot With A Celebratory Toast To A Successful Session And Cheers To Their Future Together.convict Lake Is Truly A Gem Among The Numerous Lakes In The Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. It Was Well Worth The Trek To Capture Tyler And Kacie’s Engagement Photos At Such A Breathtaking And Sentimental Location. I Fully Intend To Return To Convict Lake Myself To Soak Up More Of Its Beauty And Camp Along Its Shores.see Some Of My Favorite Images From Their Adventure Session By Clicking View Gallery Below!
