Engagement
For Jill and Ryan's engagement session we headed to downtown Fresno after a quick stop at San Joaquin Country Club. I love working with people who are so quick to laugh, to have fun and totally let loose. Enjoy my favorites!
I cruised on up to San Francisco for Megan and Josh's engagement session a few weeks ago and was greeted by an amazing day! We started out on their rooftop garden before heading on to the Ferry Building and Baker Beach for a finish just before sunset. Such a blast hanging out with these two, I can hardly wait for their wedding at the Tank 18 Winery in a little over a month.
We headed out to the private residence where Marisa and Adrienne will have their wedding in a couple of months AND where Adrienne asked Marisa to marry him. It is a beautiful home on the San Joaquin River, and made for a perfect location for their session. Enjoy!
Well I guess I better get this posted because Roslyn and Andrew are getting married in just a few weeks! For their session we travelled up to the foothills outside Fresno and had a great time exploring and creating a bunch of great images. Take a minute and enjoy a few of my favorites.
I will be photographing Jennifer and Kenny's wedding next year at the beautiful Mountain Winery in Saratoga, CA, but this post is all about their engagement pictures! I had an absolute blast hanging out with these two up in the mountains at Huntington Lake. So great to get out of the valley into some mountain air and we were even treated to a light rain for part of the session. We photographed on their dock, the family cabin, and just wandered the forest lined shore making some great images along the way. Both are former Fresno State students, and the perfect example of the cheerleader + football player story. Of course football players and cheerleaders tend to come in vastly different heights
I'm so fortunate to be a photographer in Central California. Working here means that Yosemite is right in my backyard and I get a chance to photograph quite a few weddings and engagement sessions in Yosemite Valley. Nothing on Earth can beat El Capitan, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and the rest of the natural monuments in Yosemite as photography backdrops. This time around I was lucky enough to be chosen by Rebecca and Louis to be the wedding photographer at their Yosemite wedding at the Ahwahnee this coming fall. This is their engagement session, enjoy some of my favorite images from the shoot.
Amber and Jay are getting married next month and I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the images that Craig will create when he gets to shoot their wedding! In the meantime, I had the pleasure of working with Amber and Jay for their engagement session. I'm happy to share with you a few of my favorites from the shoot up near Millerton Lake. I was totally stoked when I saw Amber's hat! I think it's cool and I love it!
It's really great to photograph people in an environment that they love or a place that means something special to them. Julie and Tony picked just such a location for their engagement session. Tony spent a long time helping to build the vineyard seen here. This was a great couple to hang out with and I'm looking forward to their wedding this fall!
One of my favorite locations in the area is Millerton Lake in the spring. The grasses are lush and green, the wildflowers are blooming and it's a perfect backdrop for a session. This session is a perfect example. Enjoy!
