Winter in Sacramento is a magical time to schedule your outdoor portrait session, and while it might seem like a season to stay inside, it actually offers some of the best opportunities for beautiful, unique photos.

For a dramatic wedding exit at night, you'll want lighting that creates a magical and memorable atmosphere. Here are some effective options.

Both golden hour and sunset can provide beautiful lighting for wedding photos, but they offer slightly different qualities. We strive to budget time for both of these photo opportunities, and will offer suggestions during the timeline planning to ensure that we do so.

If it will bother you to have photos of your ceremony with people having their cell phones out or standing in the aisle, we encourage you to ask the officiant to request for guest to put their phones and cameras away and be present.

A first look means that you plan a private moment together to see each other and take some photos before the guests arrive.

Prep coverage can begin in a hotel room, your parent’s home, or wherever you and your friends and family are hanging out prior to the start of the event. We typically arrive toward the end of the bridal hair and makeup appointment and start to style and photograph your dress and details, and snap candid shots of you all hanging out in robes or your casual attire.

Engagement photos are an additional portrait session to commemorate and celebrate a couple's engagement.
