Watsonville and La Selva Beach Wedding

Wedding November 14, 2018

I had the pleasure of taking Heather & Jesse’s wedding photos on November 3, 2018 in Watsonville at St. Patrick’s Parish and the VFW! We took bride & groom portraits at La Selva Beach, and even though the sun was high I think the pictures turned out nicely because Heather & Jesse are so beautiful!! I got the chance to practice things I’ve learned from Caroline Tran’s lighting course and lots of photographer friends who have given me advice.

This was a new experience for me, as I’ve never shot a wedding before. I’ve been an assistant to a day-of coordinator for over a year, and I got married, so I have an idea of how wedding timelines tend to work. I knew the day would go by super quickly, but I didn’t realize how quickly! Unlike portrait sessions where you can intentionally pose people, at weddings you have to go with the flow and it’s not really until the group or couples photos that you get to pose people and be in “control.” So this was SO fun to experience and I’m so thankful that Heather and Jesse trusted me to capture their wedding memories. I’m thankful for Holly for connecting us!

Before doing this wedding I asked photographers questions, read a ton of blogs, rented gear to practice, and just in general practiced a lot. Some of my favorite photos that I took on this aren’t absolutely perfect (you have to go so quickly!) but the imperfection makes it unique. I like capturing real moments, and imperfection is real.

I didn’t have to pose Heather and Jesse much at all… they’re so comfortable with each other and their love for each other is so obvious. Plus they’re just SUPER fun and mature so that made the day so much easier. Congrats Heather & Jesse!

Last year I got to photograph a wedding ceremony by some pretty redwood trees, and this year I traded those for aspens. Clear creek inn and the town of Georgetown are so cute!!

Also, a champagne toast at the end of the ceremony is a great idea 💯

Now I will delete this app again, go into my editing cave, and see this beautiful inside and out couple on my screen every night! You can see some more previews in my story highlights

Congrats to Lindy, Zach, and their little girl!!! Congrats to Lindy, Zach, and their little girl!!! These two got married on Saturday in Georgetown, and the predicted all-day rain thankfully stayed away 🎉

I was delighted and honored that they moved their wedding from Kentucky to Colorado (where they live now) and asked me to photograph their nuptials. One of my favorite parts of weddings is seeing all the family and friends love on each other and the couple—Lindy and Zach’s community is amazing and I love that I got to meet them. I get to photograph the best people 💕and it’s clear from the way that people talk about these two that they are especially thoughtful, gracious, and welcoming. 

For now here are a few horizontal photo previews!
