Hi Newlyweds! I'm really just so excited to post these images. If I had one word to describe this wedding it would be..... F.U.N. I loved every minute of it. I would think having fun on your wedding day is up there on the priority list, so if this was your goal, then I should say... job well done. All the details were so so creative and thought out, I've included some of these in the post. Honestly, I had a hard time choosing which pics I love the most. Thank you for allowing me into your world.

All the best,
Traci

Had the pleasure of working with this amazing couple and not to mention the equally amazing backdrop of the Sun Valley. Cubby, the bride, made most of the details for this wedding herself. Heather Minor, of Heather Minor Events, also played a huge roll in making this weekend fabulous. Thumbs up to everyone. xo

You know how in typical “life” situations your expectations almost always exceed reality? Welp, Russell and Nicole's wedding was NOT one of those situations. I've known the Crew family for sometime and knew that Nicole's family and friends would probably be equally as awesome. I was right. It was epic. Cheers to you both!

2016-01-14T15:11:00.001-08:00

I really can't say enough about this fabulous gathering of friends and family. Sun Valley is such a special place, I fall in love with it more every time I visit. Hayley and Erik chose the perfect outside spot to exchange vows and no detail was overlooked; down to the jewelry created by the bride herself. She looked stunning in a Rembo Styling dress (hands down favorite dress of the 2015) and all the handmade gifts she made for her bridesmaids were so very thoughtful. I truly loved everything abut this day. Not to mention the sweet couple who brought everyone together. Cheers to you both!

I always love when I get to spend time with my clients on multiple occasions. Jenna, Chris and I first met in the Marin Headlands for an amazing afternoon of photos on a beautiful quintessential foggy bay area day. I was really looking forward to their ceremony and it was just a special. It was my first time shooting at Triple S Ranch and its one of those places I would definitely recommend to other clients looking for a unique place that offers cabins and a main house to stay in.
Perfect place - Awesome couple.
Keep in touch you two!

Jenn & Frank } Cabo San Lucas

2015-05-02T11:54:00.001-07:00

One of the many perks of shooting weddings is that I often meet really unique people. I get to travel to destinations and secretly dream later that I'm living there; on a boat, under a thatched-roof or in a chateau overlooking the Val d' Chianti. Jenn & Frank really want to create a wedding experience for their families and friends that would be a lasting memory; a vacation that lends itself to relaxation, culture, adventure, quality-time, wave dives, bird calls, binoculars, fresh coconuts and fantastic food! Of course, I jumped on the invitation. Thanks for including me guys! It was such a great success, truly.

Jenna + Chris } Engaged!

2014-12-21T19:15:00.001-08:00

I had fun running around with these two a couple weeks back. We decided on the Marin Headlands as our meeting spot. And as it turns out.. its, like, the best place to shoot an engagement! I also realized that I need to venture out of the city a little more often. Feeling a little guilt as it was my second time out there. Ever. And the last time it was pitch black. Who'd a thought... all that beauty just waiting to be explored. Hope you guys enjoy these! Thanks for being troppers when the rain started falling. I think we hit it just right. Happy holidays and talk in the New Year.
Cheers.

Honestly, working on my birthday would never be my first choice but after meeting with Nick + Lauren I couldn't say no. They were so sweet to me, but more importantly, so sweet on each other! This always makes my work easier and way more fun. Their wedding day was wonderful, filled with love from their family & friends. It was everything I knew it would be. Just perfect.

Happy "early" Thanksgiving you two!
Hope you enjoy the photos. xoxo

Every now and then I really get lucky. I meet (and get to work with) two people that could be good friends. Nevada & Josh are both creative, generous, witty and just really, really sweet people. They choose to tie the knot in one of the most beautiful vineyards and gardens in Hopland, Ca. The day was superb. The sun was shining down, love was in the air and the celebration was filled with fabulous food, great wine and lots of dancing....a recipe for a perfect day. Cheers to you both. xo

In the quaint town of Sonoma there is a beautiful venue surrounded by hanging grapes, native olive trees and beautiful stonework. This is where two awesome people, Jessica & Jon, joined hands in marriage. They said their vows, they cocktail-partied and then danced, danced, danced until the night ran out. Thanks for allowing us to be a part of such a beautiful occasion. You guys are the best.

I really just want to say thanks for letting Lauren and I be apart of the festivities. Honestly, such a unique and special wedding. And... how amazing that it was all in your own back-yard?! Your family and friends were so awesome and I have this great memory of the three of us trampling through your neighbors yard for photos. You guys are going to have an amazing life together. I can tell. I like to call my self an expert now. I know, I know, it's a gift... but you guys have it. All the best to you and the family!

Kat + Brian } Hopland, Ca

2014-08-15T11:26:00.000-07:00

It was really incredible to be apart of this wedding! I loved both sides of the family, all of your friends (a few were mine too :) ...everyone was so much fun. Honestly, I don't think anything could've been any better: the food, the setting, the view, the dance party, it was all fabulous. I still dream about that barbecue and pie you served up.
Well, I guess they say "all good things must come to an end" although I like to argue against this notion so I hope you both keep in touch and call me sometime for a beer! Big hugs to you.You both shine when you're together and I couldn't be happier. I'm posting a ton of photos here (seriously could not narrow them down), more to come soon.

xoxo
