Jamie and Billy Wedding – Grass Valley, CA

“Down to earth”, “Caring”, “Passionate about animals”, all describe Jamie and Billy, and of course, “very much in love”.  I had the privilege of photographing their beautiful outdoor wedding where many friends, family, and pooches gathered to witness their vows and celebrate the special day.  A gorgeous day under a huge oak tree on the natural and serene grounds of the Animal Place Sanctuary, where Jamie works, near Grass Valley, CA, was the setting for the event.  This part of western Nevada County reminds me of the central Texas hill country where I grew up.  Even the rattlesnake we saw while doing the bride/groom portraits!   All the vendors did such a great job.  Greg from Mountain Event Productions provided the DJ services and did an excellent job coordinating activities and keeping the dance floor hoppin’.  Wendy Van Wagner “In the Kitchen” catered the wonderful vegan meal and Azna Bakery provided the yummy deserts.  The beautiful table arrangements were provided by Foothill Flowers and Jamie’s aunt Laura and mom did a terrific job with the hanging flowers.  A fun time had by all!  Congratulations and all the best, Jamie and Billy!

Jamie spotted this little rattlesnake next to where we were getting ready to shoot a portrait.  We moved on…  Good eye, Jamie!

Anonymous - I was invited to the wedding but could not attend, so your wonderful and unique photos were the next best thing to being there! I have followed their romance since the first picture of Billy I saw on Jamie’s Facebook page! Thanks so much for sharing!

Larry Scott - Thank you, Lori.
