I really enjoyed Mary and Dave’s engagement session in Sacramento – Mary had all sorts of fun ideas and Dave was a good sport – always a great sign!  Dave’s grandfather is a member of  the San Francisco golf club so they had the privilege of getting married at this exclusive and elegant venue which only hosts a handful of weddings each year. My second shooter Julia and I had lots of fun shooting the girls getting ready. Mary has some talented friends who were able to help her out with her makeup so we were able to get some great shots of everyone preparing. Meanwhile, the guys enjoyed hanging out in the swanky men’s locker room and bar (though they seemed a bit disappointed that they didn’t get to play a few rounds before the ceremony.) The ceremony was lovely, with Mary’s father dressed up in his Navy uniform to give her away in style. And of course the reception did not disappoint, with lots of fun and dancing for everyone. We were able to sneak away for a few night-time shots on the golf course, and I’m glad we did! Thanks to Mary and Dave for including us in this special event.

My second shooter Stacey and I had a great time shooting Molly and Danny’s reception at the Dante Club after their ceremony at Sacred Heart Parish in Sacramento. But before we made it to the church, we really enjoyed spending some time with the bride and her 5 bridesmaids, 5 junior bridesmaids and an adorable flower girl. That’s right… 11 women and girls packed into one hotel suite – a fun way to start the wedding day! We got some great shots of the girls getting ready before heading over to the church to do some quick pre-ceremony shots with Danny and the boys. The church is really beautiful, and the reception at the Dante Club was tons of fun. As always, the photo booth was a big hit and yielded some great shots. Everyone had a great time, dancing it up and enjoying themselves. Thanks to Molly and Danny for letting us be a part of your big day!
