Southern California Wedding Photographer – Carrie Vines Weddings

I couldn’t wait to photograph this Chico engagement session… we traveled a full day to meet up Jessica and Michael at Bidwell Park and it was sooo worth the trip!! Jessica and Michael currently work in the dental industry in Chico, but have ties here in Southern California, including recently graduating from Loma Linda University.. and then later this year, getting married at the Christmas House.

Jessica and Michael put together this romantic picnic themselves and included many items that were meaningful for them, like grandma’s vintage melamine dinnerware and some old dental books, along with a guitar and camera to showcase their love of music and photography. When they pulled out the beach cruiser and kite, I knew we were in for a fun ride! All these fun details were such eye candy for me, but what made this engagement session really amazing was simply them. I love how these two just fit so well together. Watching them cuddle and snuggle was like watching two professional ballroom dancers… they just had rhythm and grace, and seemed to move effortlessly together.

Jessica’s engagement ring…Gorgeous!!

Used the last bit of light to capture these portraits.. Such a lovely couple!

Thank you, Jessica and Michael, for a magical afternoon! We will see you soon..Enjoy your slideshow!
