Wedding Inspiration

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!

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!
