Bidwell Park Wedding: Kevin and Denise

Kevin and Denise were married on a beautiful fall day here in Chico. Seriously, I love fall. It's my new favorite season here in Chico and it's my new favorite wedding season too :) We met Kevin and Denise last year and felt extremely honored that they would ask us to be a part of their wedding day. They are both very sweet people, with quiet spirits. They complement each other so well and it was a very special weddding day.

One of the most meaningful moments of the day, came during the ceremony. As Denise walked down the aisle towards Kevin, both Kevin and his daughter cried in unison. Together, everyone was full of emotion and joy at this beautiful moment. It is times like these where we continue to stand in awe of what we get to do.

So, thank you Kevin and Denise. Thank you for choosing to work with us, for trusting us to be a part of your wedding day. We are blessed to know you. Much Love, K and K

The ceremony was held at the Bidwell Ampitheater next to the creek. Among my favorite moments...

These two are just perfect together.

Of course, our work is never done: As we crossed the crosswalk to get to the Arroyo room, I made this a photo op. We owe our clients big time, for doing crazy things in crosswalks as people stare from their cars. Thank you so much Kevin and Denise!

The reception was held at the Arroyo Room in downtown Chico

While Denise danced with her Dad, Kevin and his daughter, Taylor shared a beautiful dance too. Such amazing families!

Cheers to a beautiful evening...

Chico Wedding Photographer: Fridays are for Fun

This week held lots of adventures for us... *We exchanged the Chico heat for some awesome Oregon coast weather. Time at the beach with family = best days ever!

*Indulged in the best white mochas at Insomnia Coffee in Cannon Beach. We used to visit this local place all the time in Hillsboro, so we were so lucky to find they had opened a franchise in Cannon Beach.

*Beat my family in cards... Ok maybe I only won one game, but that's enough to claim victory.

*Had our photos taken at the beach by our sweet friends Bethany and Josh! Can't wait to see the results, although I discovered I might be a bit awkward in front of the camera. I guess I won't quit my day job for a career in modeling :)

*Stayed up way too late around the bonfire with Josh and Bethany. There is NOTHING like good friends. We love them too much!

*Breathed deep. The ocean air just slows down life and we had the opportunity to take a deep breath. So thankful!

*Enjoyed wearing this rain jacket. Gosh I miss you Oregon... although your constant rain will not be missed as much. Don't worry Chico, I am coming home soon :)

Have a great weekend friends! We'd love to hear about your summer adventures too!

Chico Wedding Photography: Luke and Crystal Tease...

Loved capturing this wedding on Saturday. Even with a bit of rain, it was an amazing day! Many thanks to Melinda and Alexa with Just This Ranch for giving us a perfect backdrop. Happy Memorial Day Friends! So thankful for all the sacrifices that others have made for freedom in this country. We are blessed. K and K

Chico Wedding Photographer: Wordless Wednesday

As an artist, there are photos that captivate me, and words just don't seem fitting. It might be the beauty of emotion between two people. It might be the way that the photo was taken, or the story in someone's eyes. And sometimes, it might be that the moment captured, seems too quiet for words. Whatever it is, these photos are often the ones that get hung in my office or remembered for a long time. They are photos that I am drawn to and sometimes I can't even tell you why. I just am. So on most Wednesdays of the month, I will post a photo with hardly a written word.

And here is to my first wordless Wednesday post. Because sometimes a photo is simply enough.

Oh yes, and this entire wedding will be blogged later this week...

Chico Wedding Photographer: Andrew and Emily Tease...

For those of you who know this couple, you will understand just how meaningful their wedding day was. Andrew and Emily, you are inspiring. Thank you so much for letting us witness and capture your wedding day. Cheers to this Thanksgiving Week! We can't wait for Thursday!
