Raeven & Scott: Casa Real Wedding Pleasanton, CA

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]t was love at first sight…well for me that is! Okay it was me that fell in love with this gorgeous couple.

Not trying to be…

Using Off and On Camera Flash for Wedding Photography

Using Off and On Camera Flash for Wedding Photography

[dropcap]I[/dropcap] know…I know! You all know me as a natural light photographer, and for those of you who have been ridin’ with me from the beginning know I started with portraits using a single light set up. I quickly ditched the flash and decided that natural light was my thing and I only wanted to know enough about flash to “get through” a reception. I decided two years ago that I really…

It has been a stormy few days here in California, and when I was a young woman, I hate it with a passion because it limited my time in the discus ring. Yes I was a Division I college shot put and discus thrower! #funfact but now I can appreciate the rain, because of what it produces, beautiful blooms! One of my favorite thing to photograph is a gorgeous #weddingbouquet (at Sigmund Stern Recreation Grove)

Twirling into the week like "here I come"!!! It may be a whirlwind, I might knock a few things over, but I will do it all while looking pretty! At least that is what I am typing as I sit here in sweats and no make-up! #mondaymadness

It's Friday ya'll!! We made it through the first week of the New Year and we deserve to celebrate, but first let me introduce myself! My name is Tyrenda but everyone except my mom calls me Ty. Some even call me TyBaby, TyP and more gangsta..TyBeeeezzy! Okay I digress. I am a fun loving destination engagement and wedding photographer based out of California. I also love mentoring new photographers as well as educating brides on getting the most out of their wedding experience with my and all the other moving parts of their exciting day. My style can be defined as light & airy, but most importantly true connection and romance. I want my clients to have an experience not just a photography session, and I want you to look back 20yrs from now and not just see a pretty picture, but also remember how you felt in that moment. I am married and have one teenage son, and I also have two four legged children who you will often see in my Instagram stories. I would love to hear from you, so please introduce yourself!

Angela & Steve: Thomas Fogarty Winery Wedding Redwood City, CA

[dropcap]W[/dropcap]hen I work with a couple I always feel like throughout the journey we become extended family, and Angela and Steve are nothing short of that. These two were attending the same college at the same time and never crossed paths until they met online and shortly after were tied at the hip. This Bay Area girl fell in love with this East Coast guy and as always in love, compromise…

Sealed with a kiss...and a wedding ring!! @ucgarden believe it or not I’ve still got one more wedding before the New Year and it’s always one of my a time favorite moments when the couple officially becomes #husbandandwife (at University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley)

When it's you and me and the beautiful trees! I am a sucker for outdoor weddings, shoot indoors too, but growing up in the city I didn't really get into nature much. Now, you can't keep me out of it, and I always love a nature bride who can appreciate the wonders that God created! How many of you are dreaming about your beautiful white gown amongst the beautiful lush greens? @ucgarden offers something truly special hidden right in the heart of Berkeley, CA! I love hidden gems and this is for sure one of them.
