You know what makes me all warm and tingly? Day After Sessions. Seriously, I love them! They are so freaking rad! I love that Mandy and Scott chose to rock a Day After Session in downtown Sacramento. It was a blast taking these two to some of my favorite spots around town. And let’s be honest, a wedding dress in front of a monster wall… MAGIC!

Mandy and Scott TOTALLY brought it for this session. They were so much fun! Dustin and I kept coming up with stuff (here! Sit on this person’s scooter! Here! Go in this record store!) and they were just so up for it. We loved it and had the most fun with them.

Mandy and Scott also made a dream come true for me. Every time I pass a freeway overpass I dream about shooting under it… and you know what… these two were ALL FOR IT! And it turned out so rad! I am just so in love with these two. SO in LOVE!

And to finish off the night we headed over to Lounge on 20 to finish up our shoot and enjoy some fried mac and cheese and corn risotto.

To see more of these lovelies and their superfun shoot check out the SLIDESHOW HERE or in the box below. Thanks again to Mandy and Scott for rocking it out with us! We adore you!!

Mandy and Scott are flat out delicious. There isn’t much better way to describe them… they are just tasty! I am so happy to know them, and am even more happy that Dustin and I got to photograph their beautiful wedding on September 6th up at David Girard Vineyards. It was seriously a magical day, and everything went so smoothly it almost didn’t seem real. We LOVED every single thing about these two, and their wedding was just as loveable.

Of course I love me some details, especially when there is so much care and thought put into them the way Mandy put into hers. Mandy made the most stunning bride… I seriously don’t think I could have taken a bad picture of her if I tried. I mean, her smile is just to die for!

Of course Dustin had the pleasure of hanging out with the fellas. Scott has some really hilarious friends, and it was a pretty darn good time to hang out with them. And let’s be honest, Scott cleans up real nice too.

Then it was time to get these two married! Mandy’s dad drove her to the ceremony site in one of his classic cars… it was a perfect touch to start of their beautiful and deeply personal ceremony.

Then it was time to rock some portraits… and use that hot car just a couple more times.

Then it was party time! Oh! And party they did! From beautiful dances to hilarious toasts and a very fun cake cutting and bouquet/garter toss it was jammin’ from beginning to end.

Mandy and Scott we love you! Thank you so much for letting us witness your wedding! You are the best and we are so happy to know you! Have A BLAST in the Dominican Republic this week! You deserve it. Check out more of this super cool wedding in the SLIDESHOW HERE or in the box below. And don’t forget to check back for their super hot day after session!

It’s that time of year again… the time when album orders come in like CRAZY! It’s one of my most favorite times of year though because I have a deep well of love in my heart for wedding albums, and I am always so excited when clients get their albums. I love putting that book in their hands! It makes me happy. Tralee and Mike had a really beautiful wedding in May, and followed up with a day after session a few weeks later. I LOVE how their album turned out!
