Jessica + Ben {Rock the Dress Session North Lake Tahoe|}

I have had several of my couples this year do a “rock the dress session”, and I am loving it.  I am a huge fan of Rock the Dress Sessions for many reasons:

1. You get to wear your dress again.

2. You get to relax and get some amazing pictures of you and your hubby with out the pressure of having to get to the reception, and its a TON of fun.

3. You get to wear your dress again.

4. You will find that its a time to just have fun and take advantage of doing some pictures that you *may* have not been brave enough to do on the day of the wedding day (i.e. standing in a soggy meadow or in Lake Tahoe)

5. You get to wear your dress again.:)

 

With out further ado- Jessica and Ben’s “Rock the Dress Session”-  I was thrilled with the weather we had for the day, the clouds danced in and out of the trees and the rain had just stopped so all the colors were beautifully saturated (I’m not going to lie- I felt like I was photographing in heaven!) The light was gorgeous and I was getting to hang out with an amazing couple. Enjoy!

Samantha + Marq {Rancho San Rafael Garden Wedding}

Samantha and Marq were married on the most beautiful of September afternoons.  It was a beautiful day, and even though it poured buckets of rain just before the ceremony, everything came together perfectly for their sweet romantic garden wedding, held at Rancho San Rafael Park.   Samantha is incredibly talented and very creative, all of the centerpieces and the super cool idea of getting to draw on the table cloths are all hers.  She even made the little heart bunting that went over the fireplace and shopped for months for all the different bottles that made up the pieces on the tables.  I adored her dress, which she found at Swoon Bridal Boutique here in Reno, and both Samantha and Marq loved the movie “UP” by Disney/pixar  and made a mailbox similar to the one in the film for guests to put cards in. Her incredibly cool and retro floral were done by a family friend and they had GourMelt Food Truck come cater after the ceremony, (seriously, the best grilled cheese I have EVER had); and guys- if you are loving Marq’s boutineer, that was also a DIY project, the groomsmen wore storm troopers and Marq had darth vader.:)Also the cake topper was handmade by Samantha as well.  If I could be half as good at DIY projects I could possibly be kinda cool.:) Samantha and Marq are so in love with each other it was a joy to be able to capture their day.  Thank you so much to you both for being so caring and loving, and for once again making me realize I have the best job in the world.  Much Love to you both!!!
