Sarah Mahen Photographers

I don’t know about you, but when I was a little girl I LOVED to pretend I was a model. Many an hour were spent in front of the mirror pretending to pose for photographers who would splash my beautiful face across the pages of glossy magazines. I haven’t met many women who didn’t still secretly harbor that girlhood dream. I know I do. Only now that dream has changed a little, and I am behind the camera making someone feel like a star. TashaAnne gave me the fantastic opportunity last week to live my photographer fantasy while indulging her own childhood dreams of being a super model with her bridal portraits photo shoot.

Tasha is a smart girl, I mean you can tell that just from how kickin’ her wedding was. But what makes her brilliant is that she bucked the tradition of formal bridals before her wedding and waited to do them after the wedding when she wasn’t worried about the condition her dress ended up it. So it was with a song in my heart that we tramped through fields, sat on sidewalks, and ran through the streets of downtown Sacramento. We visited a firehouse and a record store, were honked at several times, and had a flat out great time. It was PAINFUL to choose these pictures for her slide show because I hated to leave so many great pictures out. But Tasha is a natural when it comes to being photographed and seriously didn’t take a bad picture the whole shoot! I was so impressed! She climbed walls, walked through debris, and crowds of people fearlessly! She was my dream come true. We were racing the light, and she was absolutely up for anything. I can’t thank her enough for the awesome time and the even more awesome images we made together. So I’m going to stop rambling now so you can check them out!

I’d like to invite any of my former and future brides to schedule a bridal “Mess the Dress” session and embrace their inner super model! (Don’t worry… we won’t ruin your dress… unless you want to.) The images are priceless, artistic, unique and a GREAT time is promised. Call or email me for more details.
