Chico California Wedding Photographer: David and Casey

Gosh -- I don't think I could like my job any more than I do! Posting a wedding makes me realize how much I really, really love capturing these glorious moments!

David and Casey were married in a beautiful church in Fillmore, California just east of Ventura. I was so excited to have the 2011 wedding season start with this one. David and Casey love God and love each other so much! They are truly a beautiful couple.
On their wedding day -- I don't think their joy could have been any greater. They were so excited to see each other -- you will see a couple photos from their first look -- and you just see that they are good friends. Their wedding was meaningful -- the ceremony taking place in the church that Casey's father pastored. The reception was filled with so many fun friends and family. It was a blessed night and I am so glad that I Kenny and I could be a part of it.
Thank you David and Casey. You are so wonderful!

David -- you are one lucky guy! Thanks for finding "plan B" for our first look photos...

Oh, the first look! Everything was planned out -- photos were going to be taken in a beautiful park just west of town. When Kenny and I arrived early to scope out the park, we were greeted with information that the park was closed and trespassers were definitely not allowed... So, I headed back to the Salon to photograph the girls, while Kenny and the boys headed to find "plan b". Now remember, Kenny and I have never traveled to this town -- we don't know a thing. Thankfully, the boys ended up in the quaint downtown area. These people are truly the best!

I try to place my couples in somewhat of a pose, and then let them do their thing. I love the results -- and especially like this "in between" moment here...

How can you not love the expressions on the groomsmen's faces?...

When I arrived downtown with the girls, I noticed this little antique store. I saw the gorgeous light streaming in and knew that I need to take at least a few photos here.

Casey's father passed away when she was in college -- It was an absolutely touching, beautiful moment when Casey walked down the aisle between her younger brother and mother. One of the moments where you feel God's presence...
