H & R's Saluti Cellars Wedding - 2nd Shooter - Somerset, CA

Back in June, I had the honor of being asked to accompany another photographer out to Somerset for a fabulous wedding.  I met up with Tammy of Kissed by Tammy on location at the Saluti Cellars site, and boy was it GORGEOUS out there!  The weather was fantastic, the skies were gorgeously clouded (which unfortunately didn't wait around long) and once the bride got there, I knew it was going to be an awesome wedding day.  Tammy and I started off by photographing details here and there as the ladies got ready  I always have such a hard time narrowing down my wedding day images for blog posts, so enjoy!

The bride and groom both got ready in the very same guest house, with just one door keeping them from seeing each other! I headed through and was able to spend some time with the guys as they got ready for the big day.We started off with the groomsmen photos, and once we got them tucked back inside and the ladies were ready to go, it was their turn to strut their stuff.Before we knew it, it was time for these two to get married!
After family formals, we headed down to the gorgeous grassy area for some bridal party portraits, bride & groom portraits, and then the reception was able to get on it's way!Wasn't their cake super fun? Love it! I couldn't thank Tammy enough for having me along as her second shooter for the day.  I had a fantastic time working with her and getting to see how she does things :)  Best wishes to the fantastic newlyweds.  You guys were awesome to work with, and I wish you well on your journey together!

Michelle & Keith - Engagement Session - Auburn, CA

The first time I sat down and met with Michelle and Keith, I knew things were going to be fabulous.  These two were so easy going, relaxed and full of energy about their big day.  We met up again in June for their engagement session, and again, I was reminded of how fantastic their wedding day was going to be!  Laughing and joking the entire session, and holding their own when it came to throwing in some "model faces" to shake things up a little bit.  We kicked off their engagement session at Fawnridge Winery in Auburn, which was a fantastic little location to help tie in the wine enjoying side of their relationship.

This next one is probably one of my favorites from the whole session. This was my early on hint that they were going to be STUNNING on their wedding day!We then headed in to Old Town Auburn for a wardrobe change and a little bit more of an urban environment. I just loved how stylish Michelle was with each outfit she changed in to! We climbed up a bunch of stairs to see if there was something cool up there, only to find a parking lot full of cars. Couldn't let the climb go to waste when there was this giant rocky wall :) One last outfit change, which was perfect for the little park around the corner. Who knew Auburn had so much to offer just down the road from where we started? I'm so excited to see these two again on their big September wedding day! I had a fantastic time photographing them around Auburn, and know they will both look fabulous on the biggest day of their lives. Thanks again, Michelle & Keith!
