Working with a photographer bride is like working with a kindred spirit.

Emily is one such bride of mine. At our consultation we immediately bonded over our favorite online photographer mentor and how important an element photography was for Emily’s wedding day.

Last July James and I had the pleasure of shooting Sam and Emily’s wedding, which began at Grace Point Church.

Emily was all about the monogrammed shirts and thankfully her flower girl didn’t mind modeling hers for the camera.

Being a photographer herself, Emily knew she was going to do a first look with Sam even before I brought it up at our consultation. Like I said — kindred spirits.

Even though it was a hot, hot afternoon in July, Emily, Sam and their wedding party rocked it out for the camera before heading back inside to cool down before the ceremony.

I loved this moment during the bride-bridesmaid’s prayer where I caught the ring bearer and flower girl whispering quietly in the corner.

Of course Emily and Sam wanted to sneak out of their Robson Ranch reception for a few minutes of pretty sunset portraits as man and wife!

 Thanks so much for choosing JZP to document your beautiful wedding day, Emily and Sam! X’s and O’s to the Davis’!
