Chico Wedding Photographer, Bella Rosa Farms: MR. & MRS. Spencer!
There is nothing quite like photographing a wedding for someone who has been a longtime friend. I have known Jordon since elementary school and was so excited when he and Lauren asked me to be their wedding photographer!
They are both such warm and kind people and their wedding really reflected those qualities. It was such a joy to be a part of their day!
Our day began at the historical Hotel Diamond here in Chico, Ca. where we met with Lauren and her lovely wedding party. We whisked her dress away for photos and were awestruck when we opened her dress bag— her Art Deco inspired dress was such a stunning surprise as was her custom made head piece and classic jewelry. Hotel Diamond created a beautiful backdrop for her wedding attire.
Lauren and Jordon chose Bella Rosa Farm as their wedding venue; a first for us to photograph and we were certainly not disappointed! From the charming creek, old pickup truck, and tree fort to the outdoor dance floor, lantern strewn trees, and vintage furniture scattered amongst the grounds we were enchanted!
What was the most enchanting, however, was the bride and groom’s First Look. The way that Lauren and Jordon compliment and treasure each other was very clearly represented in the touching moments they spent together before their ceremony. They were up for anything and so beautiful to photograph! Jena and I had so much fun laughing and joking with them as they happily climbed trees, clambered into trucks, and simply had fun having their pictures taken! They chose to keep the ceremony itself short and sweet before finishing up photos with their hilarious (and quite photogenic!) wedding party and moving on to the reception.
The reception had wonderful food, great dancing, and some very heartfelt toasts given by family in honor of the newlyweds.
We would also like to give a big shoutout to their amazing wedding coordinator Veronica Enns owner and operator of The 530 Bride, She and her team were not only helpful to the bride and groom but also to us! They were professional, organized, and (most importantly to us) very friendly!
Lauren and Jordon, thank you so much for letting me capture all of the loving kindness of your wedding day! We love you guys
Nevada City Ca, Wedding Photographer Miner's Foundry Cultural Center: Mr. and Mrs. Coady
Jack and Sarah brought so many new and exciting aspects to their wedding experience! For one thing, while they loved my overall photography style, they also asked for some highly romantic and dramatic style to be added. I was so excited to have a new challenge! The fact that they chose to have their wedding at the stunningly beautiful Miner’s Foundry Cultural Center in charming Nevada City made the challenge almost effortless.
While the venue was gorgeous, it was the way that Jack and Sarah looked at each other that truly stands out to Jena and I. The love that shines through as they gaze at one another is what made their photos remarkable; and the way Jack looked at her as she walked down the aisle was pure bliss!
We also had a lovely surprise when, as we were taking photos of the wedding party after the ceremony, we were approached by a nearby business owner who offered to us the use of his nearby courtyard! The hospitality and generosity of Mountain Pastimes were a wonderful and much appreciated surprise to the bride and groom. The climbing ivy and vintage lamppost were the ideal setting to capture the drama and romance that our couple was looking for!
To top it all off, we were awarded a beautiful sunset to complete their photos as we walked back to the Foundry.
From there, they enjoyed the rest of the evening surrounded by delicious traditional Irish food, heartfelt toasts given by loved ones, dancing, and scrumptious cupcakes made by the sister of the groom!
We hope you love seeing the memories of Jack and Sarah’s wedding as much as we loved capturing them!

Chico Wedding Photographer: Lakeside Pavilion & Forest Ranch Baptist Church: Mr. & Mrs. Giglio!!!!
This couple was surrounded with joy and blessings from their family and friends who traveled many distances to support the newlyweds. John and Sarah's wedding was so unique, from beginning to end. The weather worked with us by providing an incredible moment where John and Sarah's first look stunned Jena and I with the raw love and joy resonating between them. The day continued to surprise us with snow, more sunshine, and so much more love! The ceremony was traditional with a personal flare where John and Sarah shared their first communion together and John's brother(AKA best man) and future sister in-law preformed and led the guests in the couples preferred hymns. After the ceremony we all met down at Lakeside Pavilion and continued the evenings festivities where they danced, laughed, and smashed cake in each others face! At the end of the evening the guest lined up the walk way and sent Sarah and John off in style. I hope you enjoy their images and story as much as we do!
Sarah and John we wish you all the happiness in the world! It was such a pleasure to capture your wedding day.

I am so excited to have met this adorable couple. While long distance planning is new to me, I am so pleased to be trusted by them. On our first in person meeting a month right before their wedding we fortunately had a beautiful day up at upper Bidwell Park capturing some precious moments. I learned that John and Sarah are kind fun loving people with a great sense of humor. I couldn't be more excited to celebrate their wedding day with them in just one more month! Please enjoy!
