the JP wedding experience

Kayden and Ben's Fourth of July wedding at The Giddy in McCloud, California was a day filled with joyful moments, breathtaking Mt. Shasta portraits, a stunning bridal suite first look, an unforgettable dance floor, and a spectacular sparkler exit. It was an incredible celebration of love surrounded by family and friends, and we were honored to capture every meaningful moment from start to finish. 

Adria and Nick's mountain ranch wedding was filled with meaningful family traditions, breathtaking scenery, perfect summer weather, and unforgettable moments—from an adorable dog ring bearer to a sparkling sendoff under the stars. It was an absolute joy to celebrate these two and document another beautiful chapter in their family's story.

Kasey and Jason's engagement session in the forests of Whitmore, California was made even more meaningful by the location itself—the beautiful property they recently purchased and where they plan to build their future dream home. Surrounded by towering pines, golden light, and the peaceful landscape they both love, their session perfectly reflected their shared passion for the outdoors and the exciting journey ahead.

Kayden and Ben traveled up from the Bay Area for a beautiful summer engagement session at Lema Ranch in Redding, California. From the olive tree pathway to the peaceful pond, we spent the evening exploring the trails, enjoying the gorgeous golden light, and capturing this exciting season before their upcoming July 4th wedding at The Giddy in McCloud.

Sydella and Will’s wedding day at the Sundial Bridge was the kind of day that felt meaningful from start to finish. With their entire family traveling from Arizona to Redding to witness them say “I do,” every part of the day was filled with intention, emotion, and so much love—from sweet first looks at the Sheraton, to Sydella walking across the bridge with her dad, to Will’s unforgettable reaction seeing his bride for the first time. Their intimate ceremony beneath the bridge and sunset portraits along the river made for the most beautiful ending to a day that was truly centered on what mattered most: family, love, and the beginning of a brand new chapter together.

Cari & Kevin’s intimate wedding day in Anderson, California was filled with vibrant color, heartfelt moments, and so much meaning. From bold pink and orange details to a quiet, faith-filled ceremony surrounded by their closest people, every part of their day reflected who they are. It was such an honor to capture a story this personal—one that so clearly shows how God brings the right people together at the right time.

Adria and Nick’s engagement session at Bunny Flats Trailhead felt like stepping into the most unexpected kind of magic—snow covering the ground, Mt. Shasta towering in the distance, and yet the air was warm and inviting. It was the kind of day that felt absolutely perfect. Between the stunning views, their easy connection, and their sweet pup Riggins along for the adventure, this session was a beautiful reflection of a true love story.

There’s something so meaningful about a wedding day that’s simple, intentional, and centered on what matters most. Joanna and Chris began their marriage with a courthouse ceremony surrounded by family, then continued the celebration with portraits at Turtle Bay Gardens—full of soft light, quiet moments, and so much joy. From Joanna’s floral skirt (with pockets!) to the peaceful, love-filled atmosphere, their day was a beautiful reminder that the most powerful weddings are often the simplest.

Melissa and Michael’s intimate wedding in Douglas City, California was pure magic. Set at a private cabin surrounded by pine trees, their porch ceremony was filled with love, joy, and the sweetest portraits of both the couple and their guests.

A surprise proposal at a private Northern California ranch made for the perfect love story. Surrounded by golden hills and family history, Jacob proposed to Abbey at the very ranch his grandfather once owned—a spot full of childhood memories. This heartfelt moment, captured on a warm spring day, was followed by a joyful celebration and scenic portraits. A dreamy proposal and engagement session with rustic charm, emotional depth, and a stunning ring!
