Jillian and John | St. Peters and Kings Country Club | Lemoore, CA

I don't want to sound like a broken record, so I'm not going to mention how scorching hot it was on this day and we'll just pretend it was about 80 degrees and perfect! I can totally get away with that because Jillian and John looked perfect in all their wedding pictures so you'd never know anyway! I had so much fun shooting this wedding, the kids at this one were so awesome - including Jillian's little man Jackson, the dancing pictures were epic, and there were so many great moments all around. I got to revisit St Peter's Catholic Church in Lemoore, a great church for a wedding, and I had my first chance to photograph a wedding at Kings Country

Lacie and Chris | Victorian Gardens of Two Sisters | Kingsburg, CA

One of the pleasures of being a wedding photographer in Fresno is those extra special, early summer, rogue heat waves that show up every year before we're used to 100+ degree days. And by pleasure I mean pain, haha! This was one of those weddings. It was so hot that the local news even visited the rehearsal the day before their wedding because it was forecast to hit 108, 110 - something crazy whatever it was. I loved that Lacie and Chris didn't let the heat phase them at all. Of course the reception was a dressed down affair, but their spirits were riding high all day and the moments were fantastic all around. And as a message to all those brides

Sara and Mat | St. Paul’s and Engelmann Cellars Wedding | Fresno, CA

Next up is Sara and Mat's wedding, beautifully photographed by our Associate Photographer Craig Kohlruss. From what I hear it was blistering hot, but you wouldn't know it from all these great images! Sara and Mat looked great and Craig did a fantastic job. Enjoy a selection of my favorite images from the day...

Chelsie and Brett | Holland Park West Wedding | Fresno, CA

Woah, it was hot! Like 100 million degrees or something like that, but Chelsie looked amazing and no one let it get them down! I also had my associate photographer Craig Kohlruss out with me for this one to shoot a little and to give me a little backup - a couple of the images here are his as well. It was cool to get back out to Holland Park as I haven't been there in a couple of years, it's as beautiful as ever! Twas a great day that ended with Chelsie and Brett taking off in one of the coolest get away cars I've seen. Check out a few of my favorites from the day!

Sheri and Kevin | A Wedding from The Grove | Sanger, CA

Sheri and Kevin were married a few weeks ago at the "new" old venue The Grove. You may know it as Hobbs Grove, but they've revamped the place to cater more to weddings and it's looking great. This was my first chance to work at The Grove and I was fortunate to have such cool, laid back couple to spend the day with. In spite of the heat, everyone had a blast and I took a few photographs that I'm pretty proud of. See a few of them here!

Jennifer and Norman | Wolf Lakes Wedding | Sanger, CA

Oh yeah, middle of August, the Central Valley, outdoor wedding...you know where this is going, right? So it was hot, really hot, but Jennifer and Norman are two incredibly good natured people and a little heat wasn't going to stop them from having a blast. We didn't spend as much time running around the park as we might on a cooler day, but from what I could tell everyone had a fabulous time! And check out that adorable little flower girl - I might have overdone it a little with pictures of her. Take look at a few of my favorites from the day, and enjoy!
