Hello there!!! My name is Doug Miranda. I’m a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Sacramento, CA. This blog is a place where I write about all my adventures in life including business and personal. I will be constantly updating this blog with super cool stuff all the time!!!! So come back often and leave a comment. If you would like to see more of my work go on over to my website, www.dougmiranda.com. Thanks for stopping by!!!
Right before wedding season went into full crazy mode I went down to my Aunt’s condo in Mammoth to do some spring skiing and fishing. There was still sooooo much snow on the mountain for the middle of May, which made for some awesome skiing!!! I also went to Convict Lake every afternoon do some fishing. On one of the fishing trips I brought along my camera and tilt/shift lens to take some random photos. The skiing photos were taken on my trusty point and shoot camera.
Last Thursday I had the chance to photograph Michael and his parents at William Land Park. We started off early in the morning before things heated up. Fun times were had at the park and at the playground!!! Michael was running around all over the place, which meant I had to keep up with the little guy all morning long 
Every year I try and 2nd shoot a wedding so I can see how other wedding photographers work and also to get my creative juices following. This past weekend I was able to 2nd shoot for j Shipley at a wedding in San Francisco. Derek Lapsley was also there as a 2nd shooter, which meant we had tons of awesome photos by the end of the day!! The lucky couple that got all of our talent was Claragrace and Micah. The two of them were soooo sweet and nice all day along!!! Here are some of my favorite photos from the day.
Emily and Matt got married on June 6th at Granlibakken resort in Tahoe City. I knew when I shot Emily and Matt’s engagement session that their wedding day was going to be a blast to photograph!!! It rained almost all day long, but Emily and Matt still had as much fun or more even more if it were actually a sunny Tahoe day. I also had the pleasure of having Lake Tahoe Wedding Photographer Michael Escalera 2nd shoot with me through out the day. Here are some of my favorite photos from their wedding day.

This past Friday I drove to San Francisco to photograph Amy and Scott’s engagement session. It was suppose to be bad weather, but it turned out to be sunny and warm!!! Amy and Scott hired me almost a year ago, so it was really good to see them again and catch up on life. We had a fun afternoon driving around to different locations to get some epic shots. All can say is I love shooting in San Francisco!!!

I’ve been really busy over the last couple weeks that I’ve had no time at all to blog. I should be back to posting at least once a week again.
I photographed Lauren and Luis’s wedding on May 30th at Edgewood Golf Course up in Lake Tahoe. There was a chance of rain showers all day long, but we lucked out and stayed dry the whole day!!! Lauren and Luis’s family and friends were so nice and welcomed us like we one of them. It was an amazing wedding with an amazing couple that I don’t think took a bad photo all day long. Here are a few of my favorite images from the day.

Last weekend Christine and I went up into the mountains in Calaveras County to photograph Erica and Aran’s engagement session. Erica was Christine’s maid of honor in our wedding and has been her friend since they were little girls. I was nervous at first due to the fact that they’re such close friends and I didn’t want to mess up. Only after a couple of minutes into the shoot I knew the rest of the day was going to be a super good time!! We had a blast driving all over the place. We started out at Alpine Lake, then moved onto Big Trees State Park, which was super cool because they had really BIG TREES!!! After that we went down the hill to Ironstone Vineyards, the town of Murphys and finished up in Angels Camp. This was by far my longest engagement shoot. I can’t wait to shoot their wedding this September at Wine & Roses in Lodi, Ca. Thanks you Erica and Aran we had sooooooo much fun
