Stevie and Blake! Seriously, how much I love them – how much I love this wedding. It was so beautiful, so warm and just so perfect. I was even more blessed than usual because I got to work with people I adore. My wonderful friend Rachelle Stogner of Rachelle Photography came to second shoot this with me since Dustin had just had eye surgery, and OH MY GOSH she knocked it out of the park. As an even double bonus Kate Miller of Kate Miller Events was our coordinator and she did an incredible job and made everything run so smoothly. It was on of my most favorite days ever! I started out with the ladies and hello – can you say STUNNING?!?!?

Rachelle hung out with the fellas, and I was able to catch up with them in the alley behind the hotel. Stevie and Blake had an incredible group of friends surrounding them on their wedding day. They were a blast to work with!

And then it was time to get these two crazy kids married! The ceremony was on the terrace of The Citizen Hotel in downtown Sacramento, and it was just stunning. With the sun setting, and the amazing floating bubble candles hanging behind them and the candles on the aisle it was just one of the loveliest ceremonies we have ever photographed.

And then it was picture time! Stevie and Blake are seriously some of the MOST photogenic people I’ve ever met in my life, so this was so much fun! We raced around the block finding little spaces for pictures before the sun was completely gone. I love so many of the images we made of this handsome pair.

Then it was finally PARTY TIME! Kate OUTDID herself with the amazing details of this wedding. Everything was perfect, and in its place, and just flat out AMAZING! I was so impressed with how beautifully everything came together. Stevie and Blake had one heck of a party! There was loads of dancing and good times were definitely had by all. It was a wonderful was to celebrate this fabulous couple.

Stevie and Blake! Thank you so much for having me be a part of your wedding! I adore you both, and am so grateful I got to know you. I wish you a lifetime of happiness together! (and really… I can’t wait to see how crazy cute your babies are someday!) Check out the slideshow HERE or in the box below for LOTS and LOTS of images from this fabulous wedding.

    Oh wow, Kate did an AMAZING job. That mustard ribbon is just the perfect accent. My fav is the diptych of the bride by herself at the top. She is stunning!
