Mendocino Bay Overlook Wedding | Mendocino, California Wedding Photographer

When Amy inquired with me to photograph her wedding, she started her email by saying “ Jimmy + I met in prison”. Wait what?!? She followed up by saying that she was joking, but not really. Amy + Jimmy are both correction officers in Vacaville, California and they met while at work. I knew from our first interaction over email that we were a perfect match. I love sarcasm and Amy + Jimmy have THE BEST sense of humor. When Jimmy showed up for their engagement session, the first thing he said was “we’re not going to have to go through the ‘act naturally’ thing again are we?” I was like “woah buddy, the only awkwardness coming from this photo session will be me making a complete fool of myself.” He was satisified with that and of course, I was the most awkward of all of us. Flashfoward to their wedding day, they decided to tie the knot at the Mendocino By Overlook with a reception to follow at their family’s private residence in Mendocino. Amy’s Son Ryder taught everyone a line dance at the reception and it was the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. This wedding was beautiful and the reception was Poppin. There was a food truck with delicious fish tacos and the most amazing soup dumplings. In lieu of cake, they chose pastries from Mendocino Bakery. When I asked what moment they were both most looking forward to during their day, Amy + Jimmy both said dancing the night away with friends and family. Achievement unlocked you two. Thank you both for inviting me to be part of your beautiful and fun day! I could go on and on about the whole thing, but I’ll let you see for yourselves!
