First I want to say that I feel so blessed to do what I do, not to mention that I get to work with some of the hottest couples ever! I love love love spending the afternoon getting to know the couples whose weddings we will be shooting. I am sometimes amazed that I actually get to do this for a living. There is nothing I would rather do. I am a super passionate and emotional person, and I live by the motto “Work like you don’t need money, love like you’ve never been hurt, and dance like no one’s watching.”

Sarah & Jim – where to even start? Jim was Sarah’s boss at a record store a while back. This always makes me smirk ; ) After a few months of working together, Jim asked Sarah out on a date. Now they are getting married! They are both kind and gentle, and share a love that seems effortless – steady, constant, and intense. And they are a pleasure to be around.

Erik and I met up with Sarah and Jim at Huntington State Park in Redding on Sunday afternoon. It was a bit chilly, but a gorgeous day nonetheless.

We started off on these cool rocks.

Then headed down toward the reservoir.

Love this shot – Jim is so handsome!

I couldn’t decide between this one and the close up above – they are just so hot!

We continued walking toward the reservoir

It was so beautiful there!

My favorite ; ) Sarah is stunningly gorgeous!

Aren’t they adorable???

On the way back we found this rock with this amazing light coming behind it. It was placed there just for us!

Seriously! Look at that light!!

Erik was experimenting and got this KILLER shot! I love rim light!

And this one too

On our way back we stopped in this field

Love this one too – loving the golden light!

And lastly, the ring!!

Sarah and Jim thank you so much for traipsing around the woods with us in the cold! You were so much fun to hang out with, and Erik & I can’t wait for your wedding!!
