Beautiful Natasha and Stetson! How cute are they? I met these two earlier this year when they were at Stevie and Blake’s wedding. They had just started dating and were pretty darn cute. I was thrilled to get a phone call not too long after letting me know they were engaged and getting married in the fall and they wanted me to take their pictures! I was so excited. They pulled together a beautiful day and I am so happy I got to be there. My dear friend Rachelle of Rachelle Photography joined me as my second shooter and we had a blast photographing these beautiful pair. We started things out with the fellas!

Then it was time for the ladies. I LOVED the bridesmaids plaid dresses! They were SO fun!

Because photos were THE most important thing to Natasha and Stetson, they had a first look and set aside over an hour for portraits before the ceremony. It was FABULOUS! Rachelle and I had a blast!

And then it was ceremony time! It was one of the loveliest ceremonies we’ve had all year. I loved their personal vows – they were perfect for them!

To add to the awesomeness of their wedding, Natasha and Stetson hired Kate Miller Events to coordinate their day. Kate is magical, and everything went without a hitch. Plus, I love how the room looked! It was stunning!

Thank you Natasha and Stetson for being so wonderful, and letting us do our thing! We loved every second we were with you on your big day! Thanks again to Kate Miller for her amazing and beautiful work, and for Rachelle who made everything look even better that day!

Sweet wonderful Natasha and Stetson! I am so excited to be a part of their wedding and be a witness to how freaking awesome they are. Stetson is brother to our dear Stevie (of Stevie and Blake) and I am beyond excited to work with their wonderful family again. I shot this session with my beloved intern Windy and we had fun rockin’ out some seriously beautiful pictures of some seriously beautiful people. We started at Le Petit Paris in midtown on a Sunday morning and it was nothing short of perfection. I LOVE that place… and photographing there was an absolute treat.

And then we were off to do what I do best – wander around until the light speaks to me. Truly it is one of my favorite ways to do a session. I can’t move light, so I move us… it works for me. We found some great spots and Natasha and Stetson rocked it out!

And then it was parking garage time. It was delightful because the garage was closed and it was just us there doing our thing. I loved it! Seriously… I love me some parking garages. They have the best light… without fail!

Delightful beauties aren’t they? I adore them. Check out their SLIDESHOW HERE or below for more pictures that will make your knees weak and your heart flutter.

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.
