We have been busting out the eSessions over here at Sarah Maren Photography as we prepare for a 2 month hiatus in the middle of the summer so I can have this kid I’m making evacuate my womb. So, my darling fall and winter couples have been very gracious about scheduling their eSessions a little early so they are not being photographed by me when I am to water buffalo size. Frances and Dan are getting married this Decemeber, and oh how I love them! They are so stinkin’ cute, and seriously a lot of fun to be around. We bonded over a coffee at Temple and then headed out to get our eSession on! These two are so cute together! I just love everything about them!

I just really, REALLY love this picture of Frances… she’s so pretty.


Frances is OBSESSED with the Tower Bridge, so we worked it into their shoot too. What’s funny is I’ve never really shot ON the bridge that much, so this was fun to do some experimenting. Luckily this couple was up it, and it totally paid off!

Frances and Dan – YOU ARE AWESOME! Thank you so much for having Dustin and me be a part of your big day. You two are so darn perfect for each other! We seriously can’t wait for your wedding. Thanks for everything! Check out their SLIDESHOW HERE or below for more from this lovely session.

Last weekend Dustin and I had the pleasure of photographing Nikki and Luke at the stables at Cal Expo. I mean, seriously, how cool are they? Luke is a harness racer and he brought out one of his favorite horses for some of the shots. I loved it!

Then we got to head over to the track for some pictures. We even ventured over to a very empty Cal Expo for a few shots. It’s kind of crazy being in empty Cal Expo when really I’ve only been there for concerts and the state fair. It was fun though!

Nikki and Luke you are SO awesome! It was fabulous photographing you, and you both made it SO much fun! We are SO excited for your wedding this fall!! Check out their SLIDESHOW HERE or below for more awesome pictures of this stunning couple.

Shannon and Cliff are a really awesome couple! We LOVED the ideas they had for their eSession over the weekend. We met up with them Sunday morning and began our fun adventure together. We started things off at the movie theater they went on their first date. The kind assistant manager gave us an empty theater for a few minutes and Dustin set up some lights and we made a little magic where the magic began for Shannon and Cliff.

Isn’t Shannon a beauty? Oh my goodness she is going to be one smokin’ hot bride! After the theater we headed over to some big grass and pretty trees.


Then came Dustin’s favorite part of the shoot. Cliff rides a motorcycle, and so does Dustin! So, he was very excited that Shannon and Cliff wanted to incorporate the bike into their shoot. I LOVE how these images turned out! They are kind of old school romantic, and I like it. Now, you won’t catch me on the back of Dustin’s bike for a million bucks, but Shannon made it look easy… and oh so hot!

Shannon and Cliff we are SO excited for your wedding this fall! Thank you so much for being so cool and having such great ideas about your shoot. We can’t wait to see you two all dolled up on your big day! Check out more of their session in their SLIDESHOW HERE or below.

Sara and Dustin are so stinkin’ rad! And not just because we happen to share the same names… but for so many other reasons! They are funny, smart and OH so much fun to be around. Dustin and I met up with them downtown over the weekend and had a blast shooting their eSession. They had lots of ideas, brought props, and were up for anything. Oh, and did I mention they are madly in love and not afraid to let anyone know about it? Because yeah, they are. All in all… it was perfect.

We had some BEAUTIFUL light to work with, and it made me oh so happy.

I mean SERIOUSLY! These two are adorable! They brought along Dustin’s guitar and a book for Sara. Dustin apparently used the guitar as part of his wooing of Sara and it WORKED. He tried to teach her a cord while we were shooting and it lead to a whole lot of cuteness.

Then we headed down to Old Sac (with everyone else in Sacramento apparently) for a few images with the Tower Bridge.

Sara and Dustin we are SO excited to be a part of your wedding! Thank you so much for being so much fun and so willing to do anything! We can’t wait for your wedding and day after session!! Hooray! Check out the SLIDESHOW HERE or below for more of the awesomeness that is Sara and Dustin as photographed by Sarah and Dustin.
