It’s already starting out to be an exciting year! If you’re one of those lucky girls to have received an engagement ring over the holidays, I have the perfect place for you to be this weekend!
Come visit me and the rest of Nevada County’s best wedding vendors at the Miners Foundry on Sunday, January 27 from 11am to 4pm! Admission is free, so feel free to bring along the fiance and friends!
Check out a little behind the scenes prep for my booth!
Excited about this find and incorporating it into my design!
A little homemade confetti to liven it up!
I’ll be giving out one of my favs at my booth! can you guess which one?
You’ve probably heard that “distance makes the heart grow fonder” and “you don’t appreciate what you have until it’s taken away” and thought, “yeah, yeah, just the tagline of some new romance movie.” And you wouldn’t be too far off, but these phrases belong to a real life love story!
You see, Anna and Sam had just been family friends for years. They met when Anna’s family moved to Indiana and stayed in contact when they moved back to California. When Sam came out this way to intern for Google, they hung out in the same group of friends. Just friends, right? It wasn’t until Anna moved to Virginia to teach that Sam noticed things weren’t quite the same. Something was different, and he wasn’t sure if he liked that.
So he made the first call. Very calculated on Sam’s part, but evenly spaced so as not to appear desperate. Unexpected and random enough to Anna, though, that she knew something was up. As the months went by, the phone calls came more and more often until in January they actually talked two days in a row!
A couple of trips back and forth and spring break found them back in Indiana, the place where it all began. Sam booked the restaurant, gathered the courage to ask the question, and she said yes! And now they’re both back in California planning a vintage styled wedding–love!
Anna and Sam, I had such a great time getting to know you both as we walked and hiked around and cannot wait to spend your special day with you!
We started off the evening walking around the old town area of Vallejo, finding little hidden spots for pictures.
So cute!
Sam, I think you might be my first groom ever to like getting their picture taken. Instant favorite in my book! :-)
Oh, just doing a little dance step–something they love to do together!
Then we drove over to Richmond to hike–yes hike–up the hill to catch the last rays from the sunset!
Anna and Sam will be moving at least four times in their first year of marriage, so a travel theme fit them perfectly!
Practice for that first dance!
Wondering if I can import this light for their reception…
Love!

I will be running around photographing the event, so please stop me and say hi!
She loves little kids, scrapbooking, and teaching. He can be found working on his truck, hunting, and fishing. A girl from an island in Alaska, and a boy from the foothills of California. Both love the outdoors and most of all, each other.
So it was appropriate that we met up at Empire Mine for their engagement session. With the rustic, natural environment, it perfectly complimented their fun and sweet personalities. Talea & Trevor, I had so much fun hanging out with you! When I got back to my car, I couldn’t believe how many hours had gone by–you’re total troopers! So cannot wait for your wedding at Lake Tahoe!
I heard rumors of Toms making an appearance at the wedding…looooove!
The truck series are seriously some of my most favorite engagement pictures ever!
Trevor, I’m not sure why you were even concerned about pictures. Feel free to add these to your resume!
I had so many favorite that it was hard to choose which to share, but I just had to post these last two–love!
