Fort Bragg Here We Come!: Chico California Photographer

We are off to Fort Bragg this weekend!! One of my favorite places to visit! I use to go there almost every summer with my family growing up and it was always so much fun. So many memories made there! Sometimes we would stay in a hotel and sometimes we would camp. Ocean camping is the best kind there is!

Jackie & Daniel are getting married on Saturday in Fort Bragg and I can't wait! I know it's just going to be a beautiful wedding. I mean, you can't really go wrong getting married with a jaw dropping ocean view behind you! Shooting a wedding in Fort Bragg is one of the few places on my photography 'bucket-list'...so as you can guess I'm so excited.

This will be my 5th and final wedding for this month! I seriously CANNOT believe June is already coming to an end. I cannot believe I have already shot 4 weddings this month...how did that happen? I remember in the past when I have shot 4 or more weddings in a month, you blink and it's over. It's been such a fun month!

As much as I LOVE shooting weddings, I am a tad excited that I have a few weeks off from shooting them after this one. I will have a little more time to get a ton of editing done, shoot a few portraits, continue to book and meet with brides for their 2014 weddings, update the website with new season photos(!), and prep for my wedding Show in August!! Gosh, that is a pretty overwhelming list when I look at it, but I can't wait to tackle everything!

This weekend, other then shooting an awesome wedding on saturday, I plan to enjoy EVERY moment of our mini-vacation spending time with my boys. This will be Ryden's first time in Fort Bragg...I know he will just love it. He is seriously the BEST little traveler! He loves it.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!! I leave you with a photo of my sweet boy at 5months that I forgot about and stumbled upon recently. I cannot believe how much he's changed!!

Lakeside Pavillion Wedding: Janice & Ben- Chico California Photographer

Janice & Ben's wedding kicked off wedding season for me this year! Yes, I did have my awesome Texas wedding (check that one out here!:  Ana & Brandon) back in March that "technically" was the first wedding of the season...but Janice & Ben's wedding kicked off the start of my BUSY wedding season!!

What a lovely day it was! I arrived at the venue to start detail shots of the dress, jewelry, bouquet, etc and reception decor shots (two things I love to shoot on a wedding day!). It was a very relaxing start to the day :) Then the beautiful bride arrived and the day took off!

Janice and Ben are so so cute together. You can tell they really compliment each other and fit well together. They were SO easy to photograph. I know I say that a lot about many of my clients, but it's just true! They were just natural and themselves and it made it very easy to get wonderful photos :) :)

Janice & Ben, thank you for choosing me to be your photographer! I had a wonderful time with you two :) Have fun being married!! Enjoy my favorites from their day. I love the colors she choose!

Katelyn :)
