Elizabeth and Darren Wedding – Empire Mine State Park, CA

The manicured grounds of Empire Mine State Park in Grass Valley, CA was the backdrop for the beautiful outdoor wedding of Elizabeth and Darren on a “picture” perfect Saturday.  They elected to see each other before the ceremony with a special First Look mini photo session.  A fun twist that has become more popular recently.  Most of the family and group photos were taken prior to the ceremony so a quicker getaway to the reception location at Lake Wildwood Community Center in Penn Valley, Ca could be had. 
Many thanks to my talented second shooter, Sorena, for helping me out with all the photos. Some of her photos are posted below, too.   Congratulations to Elizabeth and Darren!  Had a wonderful time capturing the memorable moments of their special day!
