I first met Jessica about six months ago when they learned that the excellent photographer they had planned on using for their wedding was moving from the area. I knew then that she was one of the most well organized brides that I had ever met, but was planning a great party of a wedding. When the day finally came, I was not disappointed. Ever seen fire dancers? I hadn't either -- now I can't wait to see them again.
Fresh back from my week of shooting in Redding, my head was swimming with new ideas and I had three weddings on one weekend. Thankfully, Deanna and Jeff were really into creating beautiful images together. The day started off cold and crisp, but it wasn't until the ceremony that snow began to streak through the sky and gave them a white wedding that they had been dreaming of. The cold weather didn't stop these two from taking advantage of the scenery of the park. Once inside, we set up to get some crazy party shots of the guests.
I spent most of last week in the Redding area shooting models with a number of other excellent photographers from around the world during a workshop. We all worked together well and bounced new idea off of each other and learned lots! Not to mention, having beautiful models and gorgeous backdrops helps too (who hasn't wanted to do a shoot in a cave?).
Last weekend I had my third day shooting Alegria and Duyet. Way back in May they met me in Yosemite for some beautiful engagement photos and earlier this month they had their traditional wedding ceremony. Knowing what a great couple they are, I have really been looking forward to this shoot. Their wedding was at the Oakland Rotounda which I can only describe as stunning. Many thanks to my assistant James who continues to provide great images.
I just love the passion between them in this last shot!
