Andrea & Brian’s Gatekeeper’s Museum Wedding, Lake Tahoe

by Doug Miranda on September 27, 2010

Last weekend we had the pleasure of photographing Andrea and Brian’s wedding at the Gatekeeper’s Museum in Tahoe City. Andrea and Brian saw each other before the wedding ceremony, which made for some great photos and let us get plenty of photos of the two of them. Christine and I had such a great through out the day with them and all of their guest and family!! This was our first wedding at Gatekeeper’s and it’s such a wonderful place for a wedding.

At the end of August I helped 2nd shoot a wedding for Lisa Richmond Photography. Over the past couple of years Lisa and I have 2nd shot for each other at weddings, which as been fun every time we get to shoot together. This time I helped out Lisa at a Harmony Ridge Lodge wedding, which is just outside Nevada City. Tiffany and Keith had super low key wedding with their closest friends and family. I was able to photograph Keith and his friends Mt. biking before the ceremony, which was a first for me. It was cloudy all day long and then right before the first dance it started to rain a little, which made for some cool photos!!

Back in July I second shot for Annie of “Antoinette Photography” at Monte Verde Inn, in Forest Hills CA. Annie and I went to photo school together at Brooks and recently I saw her at restaurant here in Sacramento. I found out that she lives here in Sacramento. What a small world. Megan and Warren are such a cute couple and were the nicest people all day long. We all toughed it out that day with the temperatures in the high 90’s. Monte Verde Inn is such a beautiful venue in the foothills of Sacramento. I can’t wait to go back!!

Venice, Italy

by Doug Miranda on September 10, 2010

Our final and third stop of the trip was Venice. We took the Euro Train again from Florence to Venice. We only had two full days in Venice, but it was still enough time to figure out all the crazy alleyways and enjoy this wonderful city. Venice is such a confusing place to navigate, so after getting lost for the first hour there. We just went with it and wandered lost and found tons of cool spots around the city. We had such a blast during our whole trip and are looking forward to going back to Europe sometime soon.

Spotted this lady and her dog, while waiting for our train from Florence to Venice. The dog just cruised around the whole time on top of the suitcase.
