Last fall, when my friend Josh, (Childhood friends since birth? Our parents grew up together!), told me he was getting engaged I was thrilled. I was even more thrilled when he asked If I would photograph their engagement photos. I started dreaming of going down to Hunting Beach, the ocean and dreamy Southern California landscapes. I was happily surprised when Josh and Ryan wanted to come back home to Sacramento and take photos here. We happily planned for when they would be here during the holidays. The weather was amazing, and of course the iconic Sacramento scenery can’t be beat.
We had a great time catching up and walking around midtown. Except when out of nowhere Josh and Ryan were subjected to some hateful bigotry. I was appalled. Sacramento tends to be a very welcoming place. They said it happens all the time. I hate that. No one should be treated as less. Even if you don’t believe the same things. I hope for better times when we can all recognize each other as brothers and sisters in this world.
Now, stay tuned for their stunning wedding at the York Manor in L.A. next week!
till next time,
xoxo
