Sneak Peek at my SEVEN October weddings!!!

It has been over a month since I have been able to post on here! My October has been wild! But what a ride! SEVEN weddings in FOUR weeks! I thought I would take a moment from my editing and Christmas guidelines to share just a few photos from these SEVEN weddings I had the pleasure of photographing! 

But real quick first I want to announce something pretty special!
I just got a call and then an email from theknot.com letting me know that I have been honored with the 2014 Best of the Best in photography in the Sacramento/Lake Tahoe area. (This is my third consecutive year of receiving the award.) I thought I would share the first part of the email:

"Dear Joy,
It is with enormous pleasure that I congratulate you on your Best of Weddings Award for 2014.  This year the competition was the hardest it has ever been - only the top 1% of vendors across the country earned this honor and you absolutely deserve it.  My hat is off to you!  The Knot’s Best of Weddings award is a top honor in the wedding industry and brides and grooms recognize the elite status of the vendors who win!  This is absolutely a go-to list when couples are shopping for their weddings."

Okay, on to the weddings. I only have time now to show just a couple from each wedding but after the holidays I will do complete blogs on each of these beautiful weddings.

Evan and Camille
Lyons Gate Hotel 


 This was the Father Daughter Dance. Dad started the dance with Camille and they added sister a few minutes into the dance. Camille has joined her new husband in Australia to start their life together...so it was a bit of an emotional moment between them. It was beautiful...
