Rachel & Spencer :: Lake Tahoe Wedding

I have loved getting to know Rachel and Spencer over the course of the last year. Rachel, who I was on RA staff with in VK, is thoughtful, ever-inquisitive, shares my love for correct grammar :), and has a wonderful sense of humor. Spencer is genuine, caring, easy-going, and a lot of fun to be around, so it was a pleasure having him in my section last year. The two met each other while on vacation in Lake Tahoe four years back, and the following years led to them dating, attending Westmont together, falling in love, and starting a new life together (getting married at the same resort they met at exactly four years prior)! Here are some of my favorite images from their wedding day.

Apryl & Mikey :: Proposal

There's something really special about taking pictures for a couple you've known for years, and photographing Mikey proposing to Apryl was certainly no exception to that. I met Apryl around 10 years ago in what was probably a junior high social studies class (but who really remembers junior high social studies, right?), and Mikey over 4 years ago in a photography class, so naturally I was pretty excited when Mikey asked me about shooting the proposal. I was more than happy to help out, and yesterday afternoon Mikey asked Apryl to be his wife (after spending several minutes anxiously searching for the blanket, bouquet, card, and ring that his friend DJ and I positioned apparently a little too far from the trail...whoops!). Here are some of my favorite pictures from the proposal!
