Have we mentioned how much we love photographing our couples and their families over the years?
Scroll to the last 3 images to see a few from Theresa and Chris’s engagement session and one from their wedding at Sand Harbor in 2007.
Those images are from back in the day when I still shot film! So going through my archive, each roll of film had 36 exposures, and each of them were scanned at the photo lab and delivered back to me with the developed film, 4x6 prints, and a CD of the scans! Back then, I always gave my couples everything, and kept a copy of the scans for myself.
We have been at this for a long time, and it is an honor each time to capture it all … weddings, maternity, family and high school seniors!
Did we photograph your wedding, and what year was it?

Katie and Kevin and their adorable kids! I met up with them in Hope Valley on a warm summer morning for a family photo session …. Back in the place where we first met up for their engagement session 11 years ago! Swipe to the last three images from their engagement session, which also included their sweet pup, who has since gone over the rainbow bridge. ( Scott’s image of them through the aspen leaves is my favorite!) We absolutely love capturing these moments for our couples … from the engagement session and wedding through the years of a growing family … what a fun, meaningful job this is!

Monique and Jonathan’s wedding at the HideOut! They took a little canoe ride in the lake, walked in the meadow surrounded by wild flowers, and enjoyed their day surrounded by friends and family from near and far, some as far as both Qatar and Israel!

Taylor and Petr enjoyed a day on the mountain with family and friends on Friday. They were hoping for a little fresh snow for their wedding, and they got their wish! More to come from this fun wedding weekend at Palisades Tahoe!

I set up a little booth at the wedding fair today at the gorgeous @park_home_ranch_venue in Minden. This venue is amazing and we hope to book a few weddings here next year!
It was fun catching up with some of my favorite vendor friends, @jasonchesebroughfilms and @envyeventmanagementnv … AND swipe to the last image, I got to reconnect with a couple, Renee and Tom, whose wedding I photographed in Reno 16 years ago! They now run the super adorable vintage camper Photo Booth @blushcamperco
If you are looking for a gorgeous property with a huge historic barn and grand Mountain views as the backdrop, check this venue out!

A HUGE shout out and so many thanks to Brady, owner of @blacksmithprintco , for helping us get our last album of 2024 done for our sweet, incredibly patient couple who has been waiting since October. As many of you know, Finao albums abruptly went out of business right after Christmas! During my last phone exchange with Finao at the beginning of December, they assured me that our couple would get their album before Christmas with upgraded overnight shipping … and then, when I tried to follow up with them through out the rest of December, they never responded to my multiple emails and calls again!

Enter Brady and Blacksmith Print Co!
Thanks to our Fearless Photographers community, he graciously offered to complete this album as if we were one of his valued clients.
Every step of the process was so easy and we had a personal zoom meeting to complete the order.
We asked our couple to take a few photos and a short video of the album so we could share it here. They love it, and thanks again Sondra and Micah for your patience!
