Empire Mine Wedding | Laura and Ken

This summer I had the honor of photographing Laura & Ken’s beautiful Empire Mine Wedding in Grass Valley, CA. this is one of my (many) favorite locations in Gold Country. Not only is the entire park lush and beautiful, but it’s filled with rustic brick and rock areas everywhere.

Laura hired me to photograph her Empire Mine Wedding before meeting me in person or even via skype, which  made  me both delighted and a bit nervous since I always love to make sure I “click” with my wedding couples.    When we finally met, I was so excited about her wedding to Ken and could see just how perfectly they were together.   Her wedding day was a beautiful day in August, filled with sunshine, friends and family.  Here’s a peek at their beautiful day….
