Sierra and Amanda – Empire Mine Engagement

I first met Sierra last year at a West Coast Swing dance class.  Little did I know that 16 months later I would shooting her wedding.  She and Amanda were not even a couple then.  She and Amanda are also friends, it turns out, with one of my daughters.   Small world, ….well a small community,  … one of the reasons I enjoy living in this beautiful neck of the woods (in the Sierra foothills of Northern California).  We met up at the gorgeous Empire Mine State Park on an overcast, misty day, which kind of set the theme and mood for the photos, and I ran with that.  Bright, warm love on a dark day, .. I like that.  We had a lot of fun and their cute, energetic and curious daughter, Devan, kept us hopping.
