La Playa Carmel Engagement Session
Despite All The Weddings I Attend For Work, Nate And I Haven’t Been Simply Guests At A Wedding In Over Two Years! (looking At You, Working Weekends!) When Our Dear Friends Kelsey And Joey Got Engaged And Invited Us To Celebrate Their Big Day As Guests, We Were Very Excited. I Was Also Excited And Honored That They Said They Just Had To Have Their Engagement Photos Taken By Me.kelsey And Joey Are Hosting Their Wedding Next September At La Playa Carmel In Carmel-by-the-sea. They Wanted To Take Their Engagement Photos At The Venue And Surrounding Areas. Nate Grew Up With Kelsey, And I Was Shooting Another Wedding In The Area On A Saturday, So We Turned The Engagement Session Into A Bit Of A Weekend Getaway With Kelsey And Joey! We Stayed At The Normandy Inn, Grabbed A Fantastic Lunch At La Bicyclette, And Then Got Ready To Head To The Shoot!we Started Off Getting Pictures Of Kelsey And Joey At La Playa Carmel Hotel & Bar. They Wanted To Capture A Couple Of Pictures In Front Of The Venue’s Sign And In Its Patio Area. I Thought This Was Such A Cute Idea Not Only To Take The Opportunity To Visit Their Venue But To Have Pictures They Can Use To Give Their Guests A Feel For Where They’ll Be Hosting Their Wedding.once We Finished At La Playa Carmel, We Set Off To Point Lobos State Park. Due To Its Overcast Nature, The Park Closes Two Hours Before Sunset, Making Point Lobos An Attraction Primarily Visited Midday. We Waited Until Around 6 Pm, And By That Point, Most Of The Crowd Had Cleared Out, And There Was Plenty Of Parking. While The Offshore Flow May Be Why Point Lobos Closes Early, We All Loved The Fog And Cooler Temps In Mid-july Compared To The Heat We Experience In Chico. Plus, Overcast Skies Can Make For Some Of The Best Lighting For Photography!we Captured Some Stunning Shots Along Point Lobos’ Path, Tide Pools, And The Neighboring Beach. Kelsey And Joey Were Game For Any Shot Suggestions I Threw At Them. Kelsey Has A Dance Background, So Many Of The Recommended Movements Come Naturally To Her. These Two Were Also Just So Loving And Sweet To Each Other. It Was Easy To Photograph Moments I Know They’ll Cherish For Years To Come. We Had A Truly Amazing Weekend With Kelsey And Joey At Carmel-by-the-sea, And Nate And I Cannot Wait To Return There To Celebrate These Two Next Year!see Some Of My Faves From Their Destination Engagement Session By Clicking View Galley Below!

Engagement Session On A Cattle Ranch
Each Time A Couple Selects Me To Be Their Photographer, It’s An Honor And A Compliment. When Della And Jake Chose Me To Capture Their Engagement Photos, This Was Especially True. Della Is An Incredible Photographer Herself, Specializing In True-to-life Photography Of Both People And Ranch Livestock. It Was Flattering To Have Her Reach Out To Me, Particularly Since We Were Shooting In Her Natural Element; Jake’s Family Farm!on The Day Of Della And Jake’s Shoot, A Summer Storm Had Rolled In. About Two Hours Before Our Session, I Had Called Della To Discuss If She’d Like To Postpone. While It Had Been Raining In Chico, Where I Am Based, It Hadn’t Rained At The Ranch, Which Is Located Just Outside Of Willows, Ca, About 40 Miles Southwest Of Chico. We Had Decided To Stick To The Session Plan And Chance A Few Raindrops In Hopes Of Catching Some Stellar Clouds.we Started Our Session By An Old White Barn On The Property And Then Moved Down A Eucalyptus-lined Gravel Road. Both Della And Jake Grew Up Raising Cattle, And Jake’s Family Farm Is An Active Cattle Ranch. I Couldn’t Help But Notice All The Cows Noticing Us And Shyly Asked If We Could Take Some Photos Around The Cattle. Della And Jake Both Very Excitedly Agreed, As That Had Been Part Of Their Hope For The Shoot The Whole Time. They Were More Than Happy To Quite Literally Run Around The Fields And Get Up Close And Personal With The Cows. The Cows Were Curious About What We Were Up To And Seemed To Enjoy Being Included In All The Fun.our Slight Rainy Day Risk Yielded An Amazing Reward By The End Of Della And Jake’s Session. The Rain Never Did Fall On Us, But We Enjoyed A Gorgeous Sunset At Our Last Location On The Farm, The Rice Fields. The Wide-open Green Fields And Dramatic Clouded Sky Provided The Perfect Backdrop For Final Shots Of This Fun-loving Cattle-ranching Couple. See More By Clicking View Gallery Below!
