Chris&Courtney live relatively close to Auburn and are preferred wine club members at some wineries along the Auburn Wine Trail. It is their go-to outing with friends and family. It is along the wine trail that Courtney and her mom stumbled upon Vina Castellano where we took their engagement photos at. Vina Castellano is an award-winning boutique winery in Placer Country run by the sweetest Spanish family who we had the pleasure of meeting while exploring around the property. Chris&Courtney met us there and we started our session with a delicious glass of award-winning wine. Chris&Courtney walked hand in hand exploring the property with us and we ended the session with the most beautiful sunset with light glowing through the big oak trees.
Read MoreTim works on the property where we took their engagement photos out in Willows, CA and we had the most amazing glowy light for sunset photos. Tim&Amanda met shortly after graduating high school. On a summer night, they just so happened to be attending the same Miranda Lambert concert where their friend groups crossed paths. Even though they both grew up in small towns with rival high schools just outside of Chico and had some of the same friends, they had never met. A few weeks later, through Instagram, they exchanged numbers and soon went on their first date. Throughout dating, they've put their faith first and are so excited to get married on Tim's grandparent's property out in Orland next year!

The venue in near Santa Rosa in the valley but surrounded by beautiful mountains.

The area has many outdoor hiking trails and of course the gorgeous lake that brings many from all over for summer vacationing and outdoor activities.
