Emily Faulknor Photographers »

We are a husband and wife wedding and portrait photographers team. Yup, we do this full time and love what we do! We get to tell the story of amazing couples who are ridiculously in love! Our goal is to turn your love into art through modern editorial and romantic portrait imagery.

Emily is a city girl, sushi lover, film connoisseur, and a hopeless romantic. Brett is a mountain boy, day dreamer, numbers nerd, and not quite as romantic. We prove that opposites attract.

We are the proud parents of our adorable toddler North, and our puppy Teryx.

Dan and Amy – A perfect Fall wedding!

Ok, life has been crazy this month. We thought that things would slow down with the coming of fall, but were were wrong. NOT that we are complaining, we LOVE it! I just wanted to clarify to you all why our blogs have been so few and far between. I have SO many GREAT photoshoots to post and can’t wait to share them all!

So, Dan and Amy are a couple that hired us from the Bay area for their wedding that took place in Redding, CA. You may remember them from their extremely fun engagement pictures on a house boat on Shasta Lake. They are the sweetest couple that clearly love each other so deeply. Not to mention that they are an extremely gorgeous couple that can throw a mean pose at the camera.

The venue was perfect – Dan’s parents house on the river – a beautiful three story house with so many great photo ops. Dan and Amy also opted for a “First look” to get the portraits done before the ceremony which I LOVE!! We had so much fun and couldn’t get enough of the details from the day either. Marlene from A Planned Affair was an amazing coordinator that made the day move along without a hitch.

Dan and Amy – Your are a stellar couple and you put on an AMAZING wedding! Thank you so much for including us in your special day and again – Congratulations!

Amy’s dress was seriously to DIE for and she made it look exquisite. The dress was bought at a boutique in San Jose called Bella Mia Bride.

Being as I was a flower girl twice back in the day, I wanted to share this adorable picture of Amy’s flower girl Riley. Isn’t she precious?

The cake was one of the most beautiful I had ever seen much to the credit of Henni’s Tea and Cakes! All of those leaves were edible too! Yum!

Rachel Castillero - After seeing this couple’s engagements I was so looking forward to their wedding post. I loved them then and I love them now! Great work Faulknor dream team!

ps. I’m coveting the cake, makes me want to rewind back to my wedding so I can have a cake covered in edible leaves. It’s true!
