Chico Engagement Photographer: Mark and Emily

Dear Mark and Emily, It is not very often that we get to photograph people that we know very well. So this is so special for us -- seriously, know that this is a huge blessing for us! We have watched you guys grow stronger in your love for each other and the Lord. You have been incredibly patient -- and I just know that will pay off. God has great plans for you two, together! And that is the best part, knowing that you are made for each other -- and you will be married so soon! Thank you for letting us into your lives as friends and as your wedding photographers! Wow, we are excited. You are beautiful, beautiful people -- on the inside and out!

Much Love, K and K

Goodness, you two are so gorgeous!!

Can you tell that they love each other? So sweet!

Mark and Emily are from the Bay Area, but went to school at CSU, so we spent just a bit of time on campus.

Then we headed to the fields, as the sun began to set...

The sun had turned into an orange glow, and yet, I didn't want to stop photographing...

Emily, you are too pretty... and Mark, you are also looking very dapper.

Cheers you two!

Chico Engagement Photographer: Stephen and Kelsey

Dear Stephen and Kelsey, I have so much respect for your relationship and love the way you treat each other. The fact that you have lived apart from one another for your entire dating relationship is quite amazing. And when Kelsey moves to Chico this January, it will be sweet bliss. Thank you for letting us into your lives.

Much Love! K and K

This is their "serious" look... But let's be honest -- they have the world's best smiles!

Um...I just like them so much!

I really like this next set of photos...

We ended the session in a gorgeous field, with beautiful light. Thank you so much Stephen and Kelsey!

Chico Engagement Photographer: Josh and Katie Tease...

Dear Josh and Katie: You are beautiful people! I can hardly wait to see more of your photos. Thank you for letting us be a part of this season of your life; we are totally blessed by you! And as for this afternoon, I will photograph one more sweet couple and then I plan to watch the Amazing Race tonight, and cuddle with my newest nephew...

Chico California Wedding Photographer: Matt and Crystal

Crystal and Matt were married on one of the warmest days this summer. The wedding took place at the Riverview Golf and Country Club and it was stunning.Crystal and Matt are both teachers -- they have a love for students and they were surrounded by the best of friends on their wedding day. I felt like I was with people that I had known my entire life -- they were that nice! They embraced Kenny and I, and we are so grateful!

Their love story is simple and together they are better. Thank you so much Matt and Crystal for letting us be a part of your amazing day. There isn't enough time or space to tell your whole story, but here is a start....

Cheers you two!

While girls get ready on a wedding day, boys just hang out :)

The first look:

Crystal's Mom had decorated a golf cart for fun!

Crystal, you are stunning... This photo was taken right before the ceremony began...

Just a couple from the ceremony...

The details for the reception were amazing...

A few more as the sun began to set...

Cheers to a great evening!

Chico California Wedding Photographer: Levi and Heidi Part One...

Ok friends, well, here is part one of Levi and Heidi's summer wedding. There are WAY too many photos for one post -- so here is the beginning, the rest to be shown tomorrow. Levi and Heidi opted not to see one another until the ceremony -- so I got to spend quite a bit of time on their individual portraits. Although I only met them this year, they are the kind of people who laugh a lot and light up a room. Oh gosh, and wait until you hear about their first dance: Amazing! I know, I am leaving you hanging, but here is a tease for now...

Cheers to Tuesday and the fact that these two will be back on my blog, together, tomorrow!

Yes, amazing shoes and so perfect to photograph!

It was seriously one of the warmest days this summer, and so Heidi's girls were so sweet to fan her out during the middle of her portraits. Loved these girls!

Levi rocked this suit -- I really think Kenny should invest in one of these :)

I know, I can't wait for tomorrow either :)
