Robert and Tessera’s wedding at Sanborn County Park had such a warm, intimate feeling from the very beginning.

We’ve photographed a few weddings at Saratoga Springs over the years, and Jessica and Nathan’s day brought a fresh perspective to a venue we already love. They ventured with us to a few new corners of the property, including a quiet wooden bridge tucked away over a sun-dappled creek, where they shared their first look.

Emily and Jeff’s wedding at the Montalvo Arts Center was an absolute joy to be a part of. Their love story began back at Duke (also David’s alma mater!) where they first met on orientation day but now joke about not really remembering each other at the time. After some long-distance dating, they moved in together on the east coast before eventually making their way back to California, where Emily grew up. They love to travel, and two years ago during a particularly memorable hike in Hawaii, Jeff proposed, which brings us to this next exciting stage of their story!

Their wedding day kicked off with a first look up in the hiking trails at Montalvo [ read more … ]
