Change

One of the biggest seasons of change in someone's life is going from single to married.

As I'm editing photos from Weddings, I am struck with the joy that is involved with this change. I remember Travis and I moving into our first apartment together. It was so different--so new. All of the food in the fridge was ours, our mail was addressed to Mr. & Mrs. Albini, we got to come home to each other after long days of work and class.

When the brides and grooms make their grand exits, I am so excited for them--for what lies ahead in their lives. Big changes. Fun changes.

So, please enjoy this last peak into our time with Raechel and Bryce--their Wedding will be on the blog on Friday.

In Love--Matt & Breanna

Travis and I are excited for Matt and Breanna to be husband and wife next month! It was fun to see how these two interact with each other. Matt is definitely a goof ball and Breanna is so sweet--she is all giggles when it comes to Matt's sense of humor.

We spent most of our time in some of the lovely fields but had to show these two downtown Chico for a little bit!

Enjoy these photos of our time together--congratulations you two!

Thank you for coming to Chico and being so great--glad there weren't any snakes:)

And thank you for following!

Chico, California Wedding--Dane & Kristen

Okay, brace yourself for a lot of photos.

I met Kristen, the lovely bride, when she was a freshman at Chico State and have known her for over four years now. She has a very silly side to her and is also a sweet, sentimental friend. I remember the day that she told me about this cute guy she met. I remember having conversations about how she felt about him and how he made her feel. Dane is a hardworking man. You can tell how much he loves his lady and is a definitely a romantic. Their Wedding day was so much fun for Travis and I to be a part of. This bride and groom were surrounded by beauty. 

Enjoy these photos--I hope they portray the fun, love, and countless special feelings shared that day.

Aren't these name cards so great? Kristen, Dane, and friends saved wine corks and they used them for the place settings for the assigned seating.

 Good friends help a bride hold up her dress to cool off in front of a fan on her wedding day:)

 While I am with the ladies while they get ready, Travis is with the men.

 The ceremony and reception took place at Centerville Estates in Chico, CA. 

 I kept saying over and over again how great Kristen was to photograph. She is just gorgeous and knows what she is doing in front of the camera! Girlfriend worked it.

Kristen and Dane did not see each other until she walked down the aisle. 

You may kiss your bride.

 One of the most beautiful cakes I have ever seen.

Mr. and Mrs. Dane Bracewell!

 

 

This bride and groom's first dance was fun! Lots of spinning, dipping, and kissing:)

 

Why is it that the Father Daughter dance is always so emotional? I was crying and singing along. It was beautiful moment between Kristen and her father.

This mother son dance was full of smiles:)

 Friends and family danced the night away. These are the bride's parents--I see where she gets her moves from.

 I love these people. It is so fun photographing a wedding where the guests are some of your greatest friends from college. 

Bracewell and Wilhelm Families, thank you for such a great event! We are so thankful for our time spent with you.
