The Purple Orchid Wine Country Resort and Spa is one of my favorite places on earth, but because we live on property naturally taking its beauty for granite does happen. However, I am always reminded what a special place it is when capturing a days worth of wedding day images, and what better way to end a year of weddings than having the opportunity to photograph Jennifer and Andrew and their amazing day. The weather could not have been nicer for a November afternoon wedding, and the couple’s laid back, lets have fun energy made the entire day and weekend such a joy for all friends and family. Here is a quick recap slideshow of the day’s events, I really wanted to use the WSU fight song, I am sure dear to the hearts of Jennifer, Andrew, as well as myself, but it just did not fit with the day…. Enjoy Derek
Casey and Matt were such an amazing couple to work with.
They always had a smile on and when they were together you could just feel the connection they had between each other, which made my job very easy. They were married at the beautiful Wente Vineyards in Livermore, CA . For those looking for a wine country experience I do not think it gets better than this.
Casey and Matt’s friends and family were also some of the best people i’ve met at a wedding, and i’ve been to a few. 
I really had trouble going through all of the great moments that were captured that day, and condensing it down to a 3-5 minute highlight. I’m really excited to get to work on their full-length feature.
Hope you enjoy as much as I do.

There are so many details needed and planned to have a successful wedding day, and one of those details is the bride and groom gift exchange. Some couple’s choose to do this while others do not, and being around as many weddings as we have there are very few gifts that can surprise, or are just flat out cool, so I would have to say a signed Super Bowl Aaron Rodgers football is definitely classified as one of those types of gifts. And from what I am told, there are not to many women that would not love a Louise Vuitton bag, the brides wedding day gift. Gifts that I am sure will be cherished a lifetime. Also what will be cherished is all the wedding day memories, and what a great day it was at Red Rock Country Club. We had a blast photographing and filming the couples day, and Dad’s speech….well I guess you will just have to wait for the film for that, but I can tell you it was hilarious.
Courtney and Brett, and to all your family and friends what an amazing day. I hope you enjoy a few of the images and for an for an extended peak click here.
Cheers, Derek and Rhiannon
Justine and Nick had such a large support system of friends and family made this wedding one to remember.
This was one of my own personal favorite weddings, because I went to high school with Nick. Justine was such a blast and I’m really glad these two found each other.
They were married at the Trump Tower in Las Vegas, NV. The beautiful October night made for some of the best weather you can ever hope for a Las Vegas Wedding.
This was their same day edit, which was actually shown at their reception for all of their guests to enjoy. Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

For those who know Danielle and Colton know that life is simply to short for a posed image, because every moment not spent laughing, smiling, having fun, and living life is a moment lost. This attitude and way of life is also very contagious, and that was obvious with the couples closest friends and family that shared in their day, and their weekend. I realized quickly after meeting the couple, there family, and all their friends that I could not get caught up trying to create the perfect image because I would actually be missing the perfect moments, memories, personalities, and actual story of the day. I have to say that there was not a moment or detail in the day that was not entertaining, if not outright hilariousness, and I think we can all say we have never seen a father daughter, mother son dances so entertaining. I hope the slideshow, blog images, and gallery can bring back all the fun and laughter of the day because it truly was an amazing event. Enjoy!
Cheers, Derek

I know that I have said this before on this blog, but wedding photography and cinema has to be one of the most rewarding professions as an artist, and as the studio is transitioning from 70+ weddings a year to limited engagements you cherish every image and moment captured even more. So when the Digs team, half from Las Vegas half from Livermore, had the opportunity to be a part of Casey and Matt’s wedding at one of the premiere locations in all of California, Wente Vineyards we knew we wanted to do something fun and creative for the day. Working with the newlyweds, their crazy friends, loving family, in a vineyard setting proved to be the exact formula for some amazing moments, images and all around great time. Amos Productions kept the dance floor full all night long, in fact, people were dancing, partying and enjoying the evening everywhere except on the table tops. It truly was an amazing evening and wedding. Casey and Matt, I hope you enjoy a sneak peak at a few of the memorable moments captured, and for an extended viewing check out the slideshow here. Stay tuned as well because I know the Digs Cinema team is brewing up a kick ass highlight and feature coming soon.
