Wedding by Photo bio picture
  • Welcome!

    We love photographing weddings. It's pretty much all we do.

    We are a Sacramento Wedding Photographer. We also are destination photographer for every where else. Together my wife and I are a husband and wife team. It is our goal to capture both views of your wedding, the bride's and the groom's. We try to make your photography stress free. Our services include, but not limited to, photography and wedding videography services.

    We don't follow trends. We set them.

Michelle + Dwayne | A Citrus Park Engagement Session

This past weekend was a busy one. It was however capped off by an engagement session at the California State Citrus Park. Michelle and Dwayne joined us in the evening for a casual walk around the park for their shoot. I originally met Michelle last year for Danette and Byron’s wedding. This year it is Michelle and Dwayne’s time to get married. We look forward to photographing their wedding next month. It came up so fast.

In a rush to get some photos up, here are a couple photos that stood out from their session.

Soila + Steven | Lake Oak Meadows Wedding Photographer

This past weekend we photographed the wedding of Soila and Steven. They were married at the Lake Oak Meadows in Temecula. This is the first wedding we have photographed since Johanna was born. We took a few months off to spend with her. So it was fun to get out of the house and photograph weddings again.

Soila and Steven said their vows in the hot of the day at Lake Oak Meadows. They followed up with their reception in a large white tent at their home. The reception was quite fun. Anyway, I have compiled some photos of their day. They are in no particular order, and only a few are editted.

Yolanda and David | Old Town Sacramento Engagement Photographer

Today Yolanda, David, Sweet Pea (their dog), Jolene, I and even Johanna went on an engagement shoot. We went to Old Town Sacramento, and then to McKinley Park. Wedding season is now in full force.

The morning started out cool, which worked out great for photos. Old Town Sacramento is a great place for photos. It offers numerous locations of unique architectural work, trains, and of course views of the river. We luckily got some shots in those places. McKinley Park has a nice lake to take photos near, and of course a rose garden. It’s a lovely place to smell the roses.

All and all, it was a fun time, especially getting Johanna out of the house. These are a couple of the photos we got.

Johanna Belle Bearden | Born March 30, 2012

On March 30th 2012, Johanna Belle Bearden came into our lives at 6:36 a.m. She weighed 7 lbs 7 oz. She was born on my grandmothers 69th birthday at the UC Davis Medical Center.

It seems everything has become about Johanna. Even this blog. We do have weddings scheduled for this year, but I did decide to take a while off to spend with our baby. We will return to weddings in May, at which we still will only return to about half of what we did before. At least for a while.

Johanna is giving me the opportunity to practice my skills on baby photography. So from time to time you might see some photos of her on this blog. This experience is like nothing else we’ve experienced, but it’s all for the best. Enjoy the photos.

Something in the Water

Valentine’s Day has just past. Countless phone calls and e-mails are coming in. In addition to that, many people are following suit and announcing their pregnancies. Jolene’s cousin (who we live near) announced she is pregnant over a month ago. A couple weeks back Jolene’s Uncle’s wife announced she is pregnant. Then today, Jolene’s sister announced she is due in late October. (update: my youngest sister just announced she is pregnant too). We get to lead the year off with an April baby. Jolene is now past 34 weeks.

We just had our baby shower this past weekend. We appreciate all the gifts we received, and thank all those who came. Prior to the shower, Jolene and I went out with Daniel Martinez for a maternity shoot. The last few times, I’ve been taking the photos myself in studio. This time I wanted something outside, and it was just easier to have someone help out. Daniel has helped us photograph many weddings and maternity sessions before. So, of course we asked him. Thanks Daniel. Below are the photos we took. In over a month, we’ll have lots of baby photos, and of course more weddings posted.
