Tracey Hedge | Firefly Mobile Studios | Tracey Hedge PhotographyI first fell in love with photography in eighth grade. My love for art came much earlier, when a representative from the art museum came to our school, quarterly, and brought several prints from various renown artists. The prints were lined up and we would discuss the color, mood, light, and story behind each piece. My eyes were always drawn to the pictures with people dancing and living passionately.
So with art already embedded within my heart, I approach photography with an intent to capture life passionately. When I arrive at a new wedding venue I love to find the beautiful and graceful natural light sources that will highlight my bride’s story.
San Francisco has some of the most beautiful and architecturally stylish venues. I love places like the Palace of Fine Arts and San Francisco’s Historic City Hall. Napa’s wine country, with over 200 wineries offers some of the most lush hillsides with it’s wedding venues. They all have thrilling and breathtaking backdrops that add to the feel and style of a couple’s wedding session.
I’ve been a wedding photographer for six years, and I’ve continued to educate myself in the various styles of photography and lighting. I’m trained in both natural light and creative light photography. I’m skilled in bringing in the right amount of ambient light for the setting to bring out the best style and mood.
We use Canon cameras and lenses. My favorite aperture is 2.8, I just love how it helps pop the subject off of the background. My second shooter is my husband and I just love how he looks in a button up shirt. Most of all I love how he fulfills my life!

Heidi and Danny’s Ponderosa Ridge Ranch Wedding ( Northern Ca. Wedding Photographer)

I posted the sneak peak of this wedding a few weeks ago. Now, here is the full post of Heidi and Danny’s wedding at The Ponderosa Ridge Ranch in Northern, CA.

The day of the wedding was so incredibly windy. We were not sure we would be able to do any outside photos. However when with the full wedding party photos the little farm house was just too cramped. So we ventured outside. Although, I had to time the shots with more favorable gusts of wind, we found one side of the house that blocked most of the 30 mile an hour winds.

The bridesmaids were all dressed in beautiful dresses from Modcloth.com. I love this online store, they have a very inspirational vintage look!

The Barn at the Ponderosa Ridge Ranch is huge! They had their ceremony and reception in there. Heidi’s first choice for her ceremony was to have it outside, but with the sweeping winds in the air it was set up inside the barn. However, by getting married in front of the open barn doors, the bride and groom were able to give their guests a beautiful vista as the backdrop to their vows.

It turned out absolutely lovely!

Jason and Amanda’s Wedding at the Ridge Golf Course ( Northern Ca. Wedding Photographer)

Jason and Amanda chose such a beautiful venue in The Ridge Golf Course. They said their vows under the 100 year old Blue Oak tree.  The golf course has several favorite spots for photography. One of my favorites at The Ridge is out on the green next to the pond.

Jason and Amanda laughed and snuggled as we headed out to capture their new Bride and Groom photos. I loved how the sky looked. It was a stunning mixture of cascading clouds and deep blue sky.

Oh and I just had to captue a few photos of Amanda under the gorgeous Chandelier! I wish I had one of those in my entryway.

Enjoy!

Hayley and Drew’s wedding was the first wedding at this lovely new venue. Capay Organic has recently opened up their gorgeous estate as a wedding venue.  The view from the ceremony site was rich with rolling hills of grapevines and orchards. Enjoy!
