Wedding
Maritza and Ben were married at Our Lady of Perpetual Help followed by a gorgeous reception at Wolf Lakes Park in the Garden Pavilion. The threat of rain never came, but it did deliver an amazing sky for their portrait session - added a whole new dimension that we don't get often here in the valley. Enjoy the slideshow!
Stephanie and Gabriel had their wedding back in October at the beautiful Wolf Lakes Lakeside venue. Loved having their little dogs act as ring bearers and they were super excited to run down the aisle too! Check out a few of my favorite images from the day.
Next up is Lacey and Justin's wedding from the beautiful Tuscan Gardens in Kingsburg, CA. This was an amazing group of people, with no shortage of huge personalities and I saw some things I've never seen before and I'm not sure I wanted to - just for kicks I shared a couple with you here. Enjoy the slideshow!
Sorry for the long gap in posts here, it's been a crazy summer/fall season and I have a lot to show! We're going to start with this wedding from late September, but keep your eyes on this site as new weddings are going to be posted every couple days or so. Julie and Johnny's wedding day took us all across the countryside starting at Julie and Johnny's home, then to The Vista near Merced, back to Chowchilla for the ceremony, and finally ending up in Fresno at the Raddison in downtown Fresno for the beautifully decorated reception. Enjoy a few of my favorites from the day...
Chrissy and Raul's wedding was one I'm going to remember a long time - both of them were SO expressive and full of joy, it was a pleasure spending the day with them. To top it all off, we were treated with the nicest day I've ever experienced up at the Tenaya Lodge. Take a few minutes and enjoy a few of my favorite images from the day...
Maribell and Rick were the winners of the 9/10/11 sweepstakes, securing that date before all others! I was happy to make the trip to Visalia and shoot at St Mary's, a beautiful and historic church that I've long wanted to photograph. Following their ceremony, they had their reception at the Holiday Inn complete with Mariachis and a tequila toast.
Stephanie and Jon are the next in a string of really great couples that remind me of how great being a wedding photographer really is. Spending incredibly happy days, filled with joy, with warm-hearted and friendly people is a pleasure and an honor. Enjoy a few of my favorites, hopefully you can't tell that it was a hundred million degrees that day!
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!
Straight to you from a hot July day in the Central Valley, here's Jenni and Scott's wedding! Fig Garden Swim and Racquet Club is hands down one of my favorite local venues. It's not as sprawling as some, like Wolf Lakes or Holland Park West, but what it lacks in spaciousness, it makes up for in vibe. It's really the closest you can get to having a "backyard wedding" without actually using a backyard. On top of that, this particular backyard can hold a few hundred of your closest family and friends. Anyway, enough about all that, take a minute and look up above at some of my favorite images from the day...
