Joe + Sofie Engagements - Bakersfield Wedding Photographer

I can't believe it, but I've lived in Bakersfield for exactly 2 years this month. In those two years, I've really come to love our downtown and how unique it is with so many awesome buildings to work photographs around. When Joe & Sofie told me they wanted their engagement session to represent "Bakersfield" I couldn't have been more excited to do an evening photo walk with them. During our walk, Joe informed me of all the locations he grew up going to with his grandparents and parents. There's so much history and I'm honored to be able to photograph this new legacy that Sofie an he will build together!This next photograph was fun since we actually got yelled at by the cops who were conveniently across the street...we decided it was worth it though to get this shot! How stunning are these two?!

We also stopped at Jastro park, which holds a lot of meaning since Joe's grandparents first met there on the exact same tennis courts!
These two loved to dance and it was so fun watching them as though no one was watching :)
Thank you Joe & Sofie for a fun evening getting to know you two better! I can't wait for your wedding!! www.JessicaFreyPhotography.com

Bass Lake Engagements - Wedding Photographer

I love Bass Lake. I was up there for Memorial Day and met up with Megan & Matt who have also been spending their summers playing on the lake. We went behind Ducey's and hung out on the pier, checked out the snack shack, and enjoyed the absolutely beautiful 75 degree day! Thanks guys (and sweet puppy) for a really fun session, you two are so super cute together! Go Bulldogs!

Gabrielle & Jeff's Tehachapi Garden Wedding - Bakersfield Wedding Photographer

May 22nd it was supposed to snow. With a 55 degree chill in the air and brave bridesmaids in beautiful short spring dresses I got to photograph a beautiful wedding ceremony in a Tehachapi garden for Jeff and Gabrielle. I've been pretty good lately about focusing entirely on moments and capturing the perfect photos during the ceremony....but this time I cried. I was in the aisle squatting to get the perfect angle and tears started rolling out the corners of my eyes. It was such a sweet and loving ceremony and it hit me that I get to capture those moments for these two wonderful people that they'll hopefully cherish for a very long time to come! Congrats you two...I know you'll have a lifetime of happiness and I can't thank you enough for trusting me to preserve that day for you!
Now to the photos...I had so many favorites from this wedding that it's going to be a long photo post, so enjoy!
Special thanks to Casey Hardy for assisting and second shooting with me! She was fantastic!
