What a beautiful and super fun wedding Amy and Derek had! We started off the day with the girls getting ready at Amy and Derek’s house. The field nearby had the most gorgeous grass, and you totally can’t tell but the dress detail shots we did there were done with Dusty just out of the frame holding the dress on a monopod. We also have always liked the moss that grows on the rocks around here, so we couldn’t help but use it for their ring shots, too. Manzanita Place is right near Upper Bidwell park, so we headed their for the pre-ceremony pics. The little hiking trail right near the main gate has some of the most gorgeous light in the trees ! Derek’s group of groomsmen are a hilarious bunch of guys, so naturally the first shot they requested was everyone looking all excited about his (they pulled it off PERFECTLY of course!). The ceremony and reception was covered with adorable custom-designed rustic details (put together by the wonderful Idea Emporium). The fall colors looked amazing as a backdrop for the ceremony and bride and groom pics, which all took place right around sunset so the light was gorgeous!
