Empire Mine Wedding | Keely & Dan

One of my favorite things about the wedding industry in California is all the wonderful photographers who are friends! So when a photographer friend, Randy, gave me his list of weddings for the year and asked if I was available to help him on any of the dates, I ran to check my calendar! I love being able to think differently and look for other angles, to tell the story from a different perspective. It was a fun wedding season shooting with him, and now I have a little more time to share all the pretty pictures and people!

Empire Mine is such a beautiful location, it’s no wonder that Keely and Dan traveled in from out of the area to have it for the backdrop of their perfect day! And sometimes a baseball and glove fit the gardens and English manor theme when the groom is a huge Giants fan!
