Engagement
I will be shooting Stacey and Brent's engagement session down in southern California later this year, but last week they drove up here so that I could shoot their engagement session. I've done a bunch of sessions up at Millerton this year but I'm still finding new places to shoot, it's kinda fun! Check out a set of my favorites.
For Julie and Burton's engagement session we headed out to Monterey and the famous 17 mile drive. I'd never shot a session there, so it was an extra treat to have an entirely new area to explore. Check out a few of my favorites...
I took Katrina and Vincent out to Millerton Lake for a session just as the sun was disappearing behind the mountains. Just enough time to catch a few great shots. Here's a few of my favorites.
Emilie's family owns a huge ranch up in the foothills outside of Fresno (or Clovis I guess) so when it came time to shoot their engagement session we headed for the hills. After a quick stop to catch some of the last orchard blossoms of the season, we made our way to the ranch. It was a very cool spot, complete with one of those cool old weathered barns. Check out a few of my favorites from the session.
Cassie and Jeff were my first spring engagement session this year, and with all the rain we had this year the bloom did not disappoint! Check out a few of my favorites...
For Rosa and Mark's engagement session, we met up just outside Chowchilla and made use of the rural country side. We shot in orchards, used the palms lining Robertson Blvd., found a cool green field, and then this great young orchard overgrown with wildflowers. This was also the first couple of mine to bust out the cowboy hats - yeeehaw! Aside from Mark (not me, the other guy!) getting stung by a bee, it was a sweet session! Here's a small selection of my favorites:
Getting back into the swing of things with new year and shooting the first engagement session of the season. I'm doing the photography for Katie and John's wedding in late February so we got out and got their engagement session done just in time. Found a few new locations that I haven't used before and had a great time on a gray morning, but we got lucky right at the end as the sun finally broke through for the finish. Here's a few of my favorites...
When I first met Elena she told me she and Brett wanted to shoot their engagement session in Hornitos, CA. I had never heard of it, but it turns out there's a little ghost town in the foothills north of Mariposa. It's not completely deserted, but there are several abandoned buildings that date back to the 1850's. The location was VERY cool and I hope to go back sometime in the future - I love all the different textures and colors in that little town. After spending some time in Hornitos, we went out onto Brett's ranch that sits next to the town and finished the session among the oaks and granite. Below are a few of my favorites...
Woodward Park can be an absolutely stunning place if you catch it at just the right time - that time being a 3-4 week period in November when Fresno gets it's "3rd season". You know, the other two seasons being "Hot" and "Fog". :) This time around the lucky couple is Crystalynne and Nick. They're getting married next August, but we shot their engagement session a couple days ago among the gorgeous fall color found in Woodward Park. Below are a few of my favorites...enjoy!
