Nicole and Tony - Sacramento Wedding Photos

It's not very often that Mandy and I get to go shoot a court house wedding... What a treat this was! We are booked to shoot my good friend Nicole's wedding this October and when she told me she and Tony were going to make it official sooner then planned I told her "Mandy and I wouldn't miss it!" I quick trip to the court house and blackberry Margaritas at Zocalos to follow! Seriously, if you have not experienced a Zocalo's Margarita, you must! Worth every penny of $9.50... Crazy, I know.  Mmmm, one of my favorite treats! What a sweet afternoon it was.
We have been able to photograph these two since they got engaged (click here to have a peak), which doubled as Nicole's maternity session;) I had to practically beg Nicole to let us do that shoot. As many of you moms out there know the end of your pregnancy is not always a time when you feel like strutting it in front of the camera. So, I told Nicole if she hated the photos I would let her watch me delete all the files. Now on the flip side you photographers know that this is a testament to how much I care for Nicole, or how much I know that Mandy and I rock;) Either way we took a risk together and boy was it worth it! If you have not clicked on the link yet you might want to NOW. Nicole was absolutely stunning that day and Tony ended up being a very good sport considering the amount of estrogen swarming him. I think the photos will forever mark that special time in their life. It has been such a pleasure since that first shoot working with these two and of course their new addition. One of my favorite things about being a wedding photographer is getting to make the journey with my clients and document all the awesome moments for them. Their baby Isabella (click here for new born photos) is now 3 months and growing like a weed (click here for 3 month photos)! We can't wait for their Reno wedding in October!! Love you guys like peas and carrots:)

Can I get a witness??

The whole fam!

Can't wait for Isabella to see these when she gets big. I look very similar in my parents wedding photos...  



The beautiful bride and my beautiful Margarita ;)

 For Nicole we went very Sex In The City. My talented photo friend Caitlin Oreilly on the right.





We tried to get Tony and Willy to hold hands and strut across the street for some man love shots but they weren't feelin it. Tony! when have we ever made you look bad?

We thought Tony was pretty much the spitting image of his Dad. I never really understood that term, but you know what I mean...

It was her fault, no it was clearly his fault!


And that makes it three:)  Isabella giving us the "Thizz" face.

Which she has a tendency to do often for us:) Ha ha, gets Mandy every time!



Thanks again you guys for a lovely afternoon.
