Kadie + Jonathon's Puppy Portrait Session // Knights Ferry, CA

April 27, 2015 Justin Souza
pet portrait photographer modesto

Warning: this post WILL induce smiles.

I've been working with Kadie for the last couple years through her position with Grimbleby Coleman CPAs, but when she asked me earlier this year if I'd be willing to do a shoot with the new golden retriever puppy that she and her boyfriend John had just adopted, it was the first time I'd had the good fortune to shoot her outside the office. And hey, the chance to shoot a gorgeous couple, in a gorgeous location--Knight's Ferry--with their adorable new pup? Seriously, this had the makings of a photographer's dream session.

And as the shot above might already have told you: it did not disappoint.

Remmy was not only one of the cutest puppies I've ever had the luck to photograph, all along the way people were stopping us to coo over her and remark at how incredibly sweet and well behaved she is.

Even at only three months old, Remmy was already learning manners befitting the HUGE dog she's going to be. But she also had this boundless puppy energy--and tendency to tear out enormous chunks of grass and sod at every opportunity--that had Kadie, John and me laughing uproariously all the way to the end of golden hour.

I can't think of a better way to spend an early spring afternoon.

Olive + Jade's Whimsical Floral Wedding // Polestar Farm // Esparto, CA
Olive + Jade's Whimsical Floral Wedding // Polestar Farm // Esparto, CA

It’s been ten years since gay marriage was legalized in this country, which simultaneously feels like a long and frighteningly small amount of time. I would never define Olive and Jade by their genders or sexualities but it also feels important to say that non-binary and trans people will always be safe with us (I wouldn’t have mentioned gender at all if I hadn’t run it by these two first). Dana and I operate a very queer, very neurodiverse household so it’s probably no surprise that those are the clients and families we work with the most. Things can feel dark right now and maybe you need the pick-me-up of a colorful DIY wedding by an incredible floral artist and their cool as hell musician bride? It can’t hurt, anyway.

Ten years of shooting unabashed LGBTQ+ joy! What a privilege.

Melissa + Andrew's Boho Yosemite Wedding // Rush Creek Lodge // Groveland, CA
Melissa + Andrew's Boho Yosemite Wedding // Rush Creek Lodge // Groveland, CA

THE BEST-LAID PLANS

About 25 miles from Yosemite Valley Chapel (where Andrew’s parents were married decades before), Rush Creek Lodge and Spa in Groveland would be a great jumping-off point for a Yosemite park wedding and a family-friendly hotel reception. Unfortunately, the roads into Yosemite sustained storm damage and at the last minute, Rush Creek Lodge became the location for Melissa and Andrew’s getting-ready, ceremony AND reception. It was impressive to see how both the lodge and the couple pivoted last-minute to put on a beautiful ceremony on the Rush Creek site itself, which was a short walk/golf cart ride up a trail into a secluded forest area. It may not have been the exact day they dreamed up, but you’d never know it was Plan B. I don’t want to get into too many details about the wedding day because that’s Melissa and Andrew’s private adventure, but I will say that I’m very thankful to have been able to document a small part of their love story.

Michelle + David's Enchanted Forest Adventure Elopement // Purisima Creek Redwoods // Half Moon Bay, CA
Michelle + David's Enchanted Forest Adventure Elopement // Purisima Creek Redwoods // Half Moon Bay, CA

What is an adventure elopement?

Unlike a City Hall wedding, an adventure elopement is usually outdoors - getting to the location where you’ll say your vows is an integral part of the experience! It doesn’t always have to be a serious trek, though. David and Michelle opted to get married in the Purisima Creek Redwoods Preserve and I would estimate we only hiked 10 or so minutes from the trailhead, though it took 20 or 30 minutes of driving straight into the forest from Half Moon Bay to get to the trailhead in the first place.
