Petaluma, CA Engagement Photographer Kristel and Wes

I love when clients chose their engagement location based off of a memory, or significant aspect of their relationship.  Krisel and Wes had their first date, new years day cruising around the back roads of Petaluma. Then, Wes' car broke down and they had to walk miles into town! What a first date, but it was a good one as they married 10 years later after!

You would never know how cold it was during our shoot, Kristel was a trooper in her gorgeous dress, but Wes kept her warm with lots of kisses and snuggles. Thank you Kristel and Wes for a great shoot!! XOXO Stacey

Cherie & Garrett's E-session

Check out these two, how cute are they?? I met Cherie and Garrett through another bride that I had photographed last year :) Referrals are great! Makes my heart pitter patter ;) Instantly, I knew at Starbucks where we met for the first time, that I wanted to be this couples wedding photographer!!

I loved the genuineness of their relationship: true love. I loved both of their personalities, easy-going, fun, smart. I knew that the 3 of us would make a good match! Lucky for me, they thought so too!

After many months of trying to find a perfect day to shoot their E-session, we finally got perfection! I think these images say it all! We started out at Kunde winery on Hwy 12. We then ventured south to the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn. That place is GORGEOUS!!! Our last stop, right as the sun was getting low, was an open field next to this super cute white church.

Then, the crazy photographer I am, suggested that they take Anniston's sidewalk chalk to scribble on the pavement at the church parking lot..........steading myself on my dad's wooden ladder I borrowed, I snapped some very fun shots!

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I do. Can't wait for your wedding Cherie and Garrett! XOXO
