Sarah and Zak | Majestic Yosemite Hotel Wedding | Yosemite National Park, CA

Yosemite National Park is a stunning venue for a wedding no matter the season, but fall is truly magical. The falls may not be flowing, but the grandeur of the granite is still there, the light is amazing, and the fall color is truly spectacular. To top it all off, the crowds are gone, the days are cool, and you can feel that you have this amazing place all to yourselves for a brief period of time. That's the setting for Sarah and Zak's wedding this past fall. It was one of the most unique and personally meaningful ceremonies I've been witness to. From the "Story of how they met" written by their best friend and officiant, to the coin

Hailey and Greg | Panoche Creek Wedding | Fresno, CA

I may be a little late to the party, but after photographing my first two weddings at Panoche Creek this year, it's quickly becoming one of my favorite venues in the Fresno area. The grounds are just amazing with massive, old trees, established orchards, and as I discovered at this wedding after the river waters receded, a beautiful meadow. To top it off I got to spend this day with the extraordinarily friendly and kind Hailey and Greg and their friends and family. Even though their bridal party was quite large, it was obvious that each and every person chosen had a close, personal, and unique relationship with them. Everyone was loose, happy and ready to have an amazing time

Laura and Brad | Majestic Yosemite Hotel Wedding | Yosemite National Park

Laura and Brad were married on the side patio at the Majestic Yosemite Hotel (formerly The Ahwahnee Hotel). I'm regularly asked "what do we do if it rains?", and this wedding answers the question splendidly! Can you tell it was raining? The park is a beautiful place in all weather and a little rain is easy to manage and the pictures take on a whole different quality. Of course your ceremony probably won't happen on the lawn, but the side patios at the Ahwahnee are impressive settings for a wedding in any case. I love the way the light comes into the space and highlights the group and the rocks in the architecture - it's a beautiful spot! Enjoy a

Taylor and Connor | Wolf Lakes Wedding | Sanger, CA

This wedding comes to you from the ever beautiful Wolf Lakes Park outside Fresno, CA. As gorgeous as it is, it takes on an extra special quality when the impressive surroundings mix with a truly special couple and their friends and families. Taylor and Connor are two of the most warm-hearted people I have had the pleasure of working with, and it really shows in these images. I loved working with them, and I hope you enjoy the results.

Jenn and Chris | Cellar 360 Wedding | Paso Robles, CA

Slowly, just a little bit at a time, I'm going to get through the weddings I left out at the end of last year! Here's one from the beautiful Cellar 360 in Paso Robles, CA that took place last October. I absolutely love wine country weddings - there's not much more gorgeous than the rolling hills, the perfect rows of vines, and the warm sun at sunset. Mix in a super expressive and fun loving couple and you have the recipe for one of my favorite weddings from 2013. They had everything, including their adorable little dog who acted as the ring bearer. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Thanks!  

Erica and David | Foothill Engagement Session | Millerton Lake, CA

We found an absolutely gorgeous day for Erica and David's engagement session.  It was the first time this season I was able to get up to the Millerton area and the foothills.  I love how the green grasses hit the blue skies and the way the bones of the trees stand out just as their leaves are starting to appear early in the Spring!  What a great way to spend an evening. Check out a few of my favorites!
