You know how they say “What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas”?

You know how they say “What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas“? Well it’s a little known fact that that phrase came from Sacramento! I have been to “SacTown” at least a half a dozen time but I have never experience it like this! Roger and Adrienne are good friends of mine that live in Southern California but are from Sacramento. So instead of the usual flight, hotel, and rental car routine, the couple decided to rent a van, pile it with friends and let the memories begin! Thats right…a Road Trip Wedding! This was a great weekend full of laughs, family, and dancing…and that’s not even including the wedding. Although it was a typical 98 degree Sacramento summer day, this beautiful outdoors wedding took place in the shade of the willow trees while the sound of the water fountain sooth the atmosphere.  After the “I do’s” we all headed inside to the gorgeous Grand Island Mansion ballroom where the bridesmaids surprised everyone with a Beyonce‘ dance perform. AMAZING JOB! They say “The apple doesn’t fall to far from the tree,” and judging by the kids in this wedding, I guess they’re right. This wedding had some of the biggest personalities I have ever seen in children. Definitely further stars in the making. I am honored and blessed to have shared in the memory of Roger and Adriennes’ union. A true blessing!

WARNING: You might see a lot of pictures that will make you smile, beware! A few weeks ago I had the honor of seeing Charles (a.k.a Chuck) and Latasha (a.k.a Chef Tasha) Tie the knot. An absolutely beautiful wedding made perfect by beautiful people. I learn something from every wedding I shoot. This wedding taught me one thing…I am out of shape! Running around for 10 hours carrying 20 lbs of equipment will definitely takes its toll on you. Although I was exhausted by the end of the day, the pure joy of knowing that I am part of Chuck and Tasha’s special day is a blessing in itself. I once heard that sometimes good things need to end for better things to begin.  “Chuck Dizzle” and “Chef Tasha” was a good thing…but “The Dorseys” sounds like a much greater thing! June 9th 2012…a day I will never forget.  Congratulations!

October 2010, I booked my first wedding for the 2011 wedding season. Kylie and Steven are huge baseball fans and are even bigger New York Yankees fans. I must say, this was definitely a one of a kind wedding. I have heard of baseball theme weddings before, but I promise you they were nothing compared to the Batovsky World Series! Everyone in attendance had to have on baseball paraphernalia (including the photographer). After the parents came out to throw the ceremonial first pitch…the announcer proceeded with the starting lineups for both the home team, “The Bridesmaids” and the visiting team, “The Groomsmen.” After Kylie and Steven exchanged hand written vowels, I positioned myself to capture the usual first kiss. WRONG! What is a baseball wedding without a 7th inning stretch and the singing of “Take me out to the ball game!” :) Every moment was worthy of a photo, I wish I could share them all but for now you can enjoy some of my favorites. A great way to close the 2011 Wedding season…Congratulations to Kylie and Steven Batovsky.
