I Just Love The Soft Pinks Of This Bouquet. Florals Are A Great Way To Bring In Your Color Theme. It's Also A Great Place For Your Details. Do You Have A Piece Of Jewelry From A Family Member That You Want To Have With You, But You Don't Want To Wear? Attach It To The Stems Of Your Bouquet. Do You Have A Vintage Handkerchief As Your "something Old?" Bunch It Up To Look Like A Rose And Put It Towards The Back Of Your Bouquet. That Way, You'll Have Something Handy To Dab The Tears If You Get A Little Teary-eyed During The Ceremony. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ What Other Tricks Do You Have For The Bouquet?⁠⠀ . @handjflowers .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #bayareaweddingphotographers #sanfranciscoweddingphotographers #sanjoseweddingphotographers #livermoreweddingphotographers #napavalleyweddingphotographers #centralvalleyweddingphotographers #sacramentoweddingphotographers #californiaweddingphotographers #tahoeweddingphotographers #yosemiteweddingphotographers #futuremrs #gettingmarried #engaged #dreamwedding #luxurywedding #instabride #weddingideas #weddingpictures #weddingphotography #weddingwirecoupleschoice #theknotbestofweddings #californiabride #bride2020 #nestldown #nestldownwedding #castellodiamorosa #weddingwednesday

Call Me Crazy, But After Lisa & Patrick's Wedding Last Night I Headed Out To The Mountains To Meet Up With Sanjana & Matt For Their Engagement Session.  We Were Set To Shoot At Barrier Lake, But With Rain & A Thunderstorm In The Distance On The Drive There, We Made A Quick Change Of Plans And Headed Into Banff To Lake Minnewanka. We Shot Until The Sun Went Down And The Moon Came Out And Got Some Crazy Beautiful Colours To End The Night!

Yesterday Was A Busy Day For Me With Two Sessions At Moraine Lake! I First Met Up With Chelsie & Justin For Their Engagement Session And Chelsie Was Rockin' An Awesome Red Dress, It Looked So Good Against The Water!! I Really Like Shooting This Angle At Moraine In The Daytime Because It Shows The Water Colour So Much Better Than Shooting Out Toward The Peaks!

My Second Session At Moraine Lake Had Ashley & Tyler All Snuggled Up And Getting Intimate (but Not That Intimate!) On The Rocks Above The Lake... And With A Bit Of An Audience 😆 They Took It Well, Snuggled Lots, Pretended To Laugh At My Bad Jokes & Looked Darned Adorable!

Last Night Chrystal & Jared Were Married At Moraine Lake. We Didn't Just Do Pictures There, They Did Their Ceremony High On The Rocks Overlooking The Lake. We Met Up In The Town Of Lake Louise Along With Their Marriage Commissioner @patricksmiley & We All Headed To The Road To The Lake Together With Fingers Crossed That We Could Get In. The Road Was Closed But The Awesome Ladies At The Gate Let Us Through!  We Hiked To The Top Where They Said Their Vows With A Small Crowd Watching From The Top & And It Was Beautiful! These Two Were So Excited To Be Married! We Had Such A Great Time Before Ending Photos On The Dock With The Canoes!

Bride & Groom!

I Found Myself Back In Banff Today For Tara & Sean's Wedding! They Flew In From New Jersey With Close Friends & Family For Their Wedding Overlooking Two Jack Lake! We Spent Most Of The Photo Time At Lake Minnewanka Though Because I Have Fallen In Love With It Again Since The Water Is So Low!  Right Around When We Were Doing These Photos, The Chipmunks Decided To Get Friendly... Check Out Stories To See The Photobombing Chipmunk!

Usually My First Sneak Peek Is Just The Newlywed Couple, But With Michelle & Ian's Elopement, I Feel Like Hadley Is Just As Important To Include! What An Awesome Family Unit They Are! I Feel Pretty Lucky Most Days That I Get To Spend Time With Such Great People Capturing These Milestones! I Don't Get Sentimental Too Often, But I'm Having A Slight "all The Feels" Moment Right Now!

After Planning Our Own Wedding, And Helping Clients With Theirs, We Decided To Put Together A Free Guide For You!

So A While Back I Posted A Casting Call For Lgbtq+ Couples (if I Missed Anything, I'm Sorry!!) Because I Had Received An Email From A Couple Wondering If I Was Ok With Photographing Them. I Never Even Thought About It, But It Made Me Sad That Some People Thought They Had To Ask If I Was Willing. Of Course I Am Willing. I Don't Care Who You Love, I'm Just Happy That You Found Someone To Love & To Love You Back. So After That I Decided I Needed To Make A Point Of Showing More Types Of Couples On My Website So That People Wouldn't Have To Ask.⁠ ⁠ Things Got Crazy Busy And I Haven't Been Able To Fit Any Of Those Sessions In With My Travel Schedule, But Alyssa & Jenny Were One Of The First Couples I Made Plans To Shoot With & Since They Were Going To Be In The Mountains For Their Honeymoon (they Were Married On Saturday In Edmonton, Give Them A Big Congratulations), It Worked Out That I Would Be Able To Do Photos With Them! I'm Still Trying To Figure Out How & When To Fit In A Few Of The Other Sessions, But It's Going To Take Me A Few Months!⁠ ⁠ Anyway, These Two Got Dressed Up Again & We Ventured Out To Peyto Lake To Do Photos. I Had A Great Time With Them (and Seriously Hoping There's No Grudges For What I Made Them Hike In Wedding Clothes Haha) & I Am Truly In Love With Their Photos! This One Especially! It Is Epic On So Many Levels!⁠ ⁠ I Really Want To Thank Them For Taking The Time To Do This With Me When They Could Have Been Having An Easy Day On Their Honeymoon Haha ⁠ ⁠ So Please Share This Far & Wide!

Weihsi & Hugo Eloped In Lake Louise Yesterday With 2 Of Their Close Friends As Witnesses. We Had To Move Their Ceremony Out Of The Meadow At Lake Louise Because It Was Closed Due To Bear Activity, So We Ended Up Lakeside & It Was Lovely! We Got A Good Luck Sprinkle Of Rain Too! I Convinced Them That We Should Head To Peyto Lake For Photos Instead Of Moraine Lake... Show Them All The 😍😍😍 That We Made The Right Choice For Location!! Look At That Light!!

Oh Boy, I Am Falling Behind On Sneak Peeks. This Past Month Has Been Crazy & I'm Having Such A Hard Time Keeping Up! I Met Up With Catherine & Mark On Friday Evening At Lake Louise Where We Were Treated To The Usual Crazy Display Of Weather For June In Alberta... Then It Cleared Up & We Finished The Night In Relative Warmth In The Prettiest Of Light! Now, Let's Take A Guess How Many People We Were Sharing The Dock With While Taking These Photos? 10, 20, 100? You Tell Me!

Couple Moments, Couple Photo-shooting!

I Am So Behind On Emails Lately... It's Been Head Down Trying To Keep Up With The Editing. I Almost Didn't Answer Kasey's E-mail In Time, But We Got Their Session Booked On Monday & We Shot Last Night!⁠ ⁠ If You Have Been Emailing & Haven't Heard From Me Yet, Hang Tight! After Today's Wedding I Have 5 Days Off From Shooting So I Will Get Caught Up, Darnit!⁠ ⁠ Now, Back To Kasey & Jeremy, Can You Believe They Climbed That Rock In Evening Wear In The Rain? Totally Epic!! This Is The Kind Of Photo That I Dream That Clients Will Print Huge To Hang On Their Wall!⁠ ⁠ Now, I Know Not Everyone Is The Adventurous Type, But Would You Climb That Rock In The Rain In A Dress If You Knew You'd Get A Photo Like This? Inquiring Minds Want To Know!
