| Joline and Jim have been together since high school. Their very dear friend Jaime offered to have their wedding on her property, which was perfect for what they had envisioned. Heidi and I started the day when the lovely Sabrina from Sabrina's Makeup Artistry was doing her final touches on miss Joline. |
| I absolutely loved Joline's ceremony shoes!! So of course I squealed at the chance to do a ring shot with them. |
| She switched to her comfy cowboy boots for later at the reception. |
| Loved these moments with Joline and her daughter on the bed. Such a fun shot. |
| The beautiful color and decor of the room that Joline got ready in really was the perfect setting for this bride. The Always Kiss Me Goodnight sign was an extra bonus. |
| Something blue. This was a very special moment for Joline. She asked her grandmother to write the date of the wedding underneath her wedding gown with a blue pen. |
| The bridal party was so fantastic and tons of fun to shoot. |
| Everywhere you looked the details screamed country wedding. The red barn, the mason jars, the twine, the hay bails!! Loved it all. |
| It was so special for their children to be part of their day. Tyler loved walking with his dad to watch Jim marry his mom. |
| Such a happy moment for the two of them after waiting 10 years. |
| Three generations. I just love how happy they all are in this photo. |
| They named each table with their favorite country song. As each song started to play that table was released to head to the buffet line for dinner. Such a fun and creative idea. |
| It was so appropriate for their favors to be local made honey. "Meant to Bee." |
| Photographing a couple that has been together for so many makes it easy. They didn't need much direction, as they were more than happy to snuggle and laugh with each other. |
| I just adore sunset pictures! I jumped at the chance to incorporate some of the what the property had to offer. |
| Thank you Joline and Jim for letting us photograph your wedding day. I can't wait for future family sessions! |

| Amanda and Brandon were married at the Flower Farm Inn in Loomis, CA just last fall. Heidi and I were excited to be with them to photograph their big wedding day. |
| I love the classic look of pearls. |
| They both met while serving in the U.S. Air force. I loved her something blue. Her Air force pin was such a perfect and personal touch. |
| It was really cool that Brandon wore his uniform for his wedding attire. |
| Amanda had this hanger specially made from a shop on Etsy. |
| As they await to say "I do", the anticipation of the ceremony starting was building. |
| One of my favorite moments in weddings is when the dad gives his daughter away. Always puts a little tear in my eye. |
| Such a romantic first kiss. |
| I had this idea to pose the girls this way and I was so happy with how it turned out! |
| Loved all the gorgeous colors of the day. |
| The Flower Farm makes for a beautiful and easy backdrop for photos. |
| One of my favorite shots of the day was also one of the last ones. Thank you Amanda and Brandon for letting us be a part of your wedding day! |

I asked Isabel, our newest addition to the Memory Journalists team, to tell us a bit more about herself and to share some fun facts. Isabel will be leading up our Company coverage wedding collections this year. Drum roll....
Hi there, I'm Isabel Ollinger!! I married my best friend Justin in 2007. We have a beautiful little 2 1/2 year daughter that has inspired and continues to inspire my creativity and photography. I hope that some day she will see that I followed my dreams and that anything is possible. I am a hopeless romantic. I adore sweet moments. I love capturing raw emotion. It seriously makes me so happy to see it right before my eyes. For some reason I believe I am a part of what makes it happen. I am super easy going and kind of a goof ball. I love to laugh and dance. I really enjoy talking to strangers. I used to be a bartender for a few years and it was one of my favorite jobs ever, besides being a photographer of course. I believe my energy is a part of what makes my style of photography so personal, emotional and fun. |
Little things about be you might or might not want to know:
I used to Bartend back in my early twenties, which is probably why I enjoy talking to strangers.
I really love to enjoy a glass or two of wine every now and again. That paired with a good book and I am in heaven.
I love to hug, so if I ever meet you I will hug you.
I love finding awesome, easy recipes on pinterest!! Its an addiction really.
I love my sweet chihuahua Bruiser, which of course is named after Elle Woods furry friend from Legally Blonde. I was a bit obsessed with the movie. |
My first job was at Mcdonalds at the age of 15. "Would you like fries with that?"
I love, love, love my kid!!! She amazes me everyday with what she knows. She is such a sweet little muffin and a perfect combination of my husband and I. We are beyond blessed to be her parents.
I love a good peanut butter and jelly sandwich, who doesn't?
Currently I am trying to get our family on a more organic eating path. No more preservatives! Having a child has really changed a lot about how I view life. And the life I want for her.
I love being outside. Its just so good for my soul. For everyone's really?
At the age of seventeen I participated in the Miss Colusa County Pageant. I received the honor of Miss Congeniality. I was pretty stoked about it back in the day, still makes me smile.
I was a mascot my first year of college. A black panther with an attitude!
I adore my husband. He is my rock.
I love being in good company. I live for my family and friends.
I love re-purposing furniture, clothes and anything really. I love my visions, even more so when I watch them come to life.
I grow up in a bilingual household. Spanish and English, I dont remember which one I learned first. My parents spoke Spanish and my three older brothers spoke English. Lets just say I could speak both languages fairly clearly by the age of 5.
I am one of 5 siblings, second to the youngest.
I cheered for 6 years, 4 in high school, and 2 in college.
I am a sucker for French fries!!! I LOVE THEM!! I know not healthy, but every one has their weaknesses.
I love waking up on weekends to the sweet sound of rain outside. There is just something so relaxing about it.
The first time I stepped on a beach was when I was 17 on a school trip to visit colleges.
I am still very close to the girls I was friends with throughout my childhood. They are family to me.
I love to smile. Even though I have a squinty one.
I am always looking for a solution. I am the eternal optimist.

This post is a bit late in coming out formerly. I posted about it on Facebook in January, but have been negligent in doing my blog posts. Last year I shared space with Aimee of 2Chic Events and Design and we moved! Our new address is:
817 16th Street, Suite D
Sacramento, CA 95814
We have open office hours, but recommend setting up an appointment by calling 916-802-8004. |
| We share space with The Find and 2Chic Events and Design (both Aimee's companies) and Kim of Bloomers Floral Design. It's an old brick building with almost 2000 square feet. It showcases The Find's furniture rentals, as well as creates for wonderful vignettes for photo shoots. |
| We hope you can stop in and see one day soon! Feel free to contact us at 916-802-8004 and set up an appointment. |
