RECENT WEDDINGS
Denise and Brandon | A Private Residence Wedding | Lemoore, CA
Denise and Brandon’s wedding from last fall was an absolutely beautiful affair. There ceremony took place at Our Lady of Fatima in Laton followed by a gorgeous reception in a private airplane hanger. Shelli of Shelli Armstrong Events did an amazing job turning the massive hanger into a lush, elegant venue for the 500 or so guests at the wedding. Enjoy a few of my favorite images from the day!
Hallie and Matt | Ahwahnee Hotel Wedding | Yosemite National Park
Hallie and Matt traveled clear across the United States to get married in the most beautiful place on Earth – Yosemite National Park. I honestly don’t think there is a better wedding location than Yosemite. If you haven’t been there, you owe it to yourself to make the trek! Hallie and Matt were fabulous – so much energy, so easy to laugh, they’re the exact kind of people that make my job so rewarding. I thank them for the opportunity to document their wedding in Yosemite. Enjoy my favorites from the day!
Robin and Steve | Wedding from the Valhalla | Lake Tahoe, CA
So what do you do if it rains on your wedding day? Well if you’re total badasses like Robin and Steve, you get WET! I couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work with last September at the Valhalla in South Lake Tahoe. Of course no one wants it to rain on their wedding day, but Robin and Steve just embraced it and they have some phenomenal memories to show for it. Definitely a highlight of my year and I love the set of images I’ve posted here. Enjoy!
Julie and Tony | St. John’s Cathedral Wedding | Fresno, CA
Here we go, back on the wedding posting train! I’m really far behind, so get ready for a flood of new posts – I have the whole 2nd half of 2013 to catch up on!
First up is Julie and Tony’s wedding from St. John’s Cathedral followed by a gorgeous outdoor reception at a private residence in the historic Old Fig Garden neighborhood. It may have been scorching hot, but that didn’t slow anyone down on the dance floor. It was a certainly one of the parties of the year! It was also an opportunity to catch up with some old friends, including Tony’s sister Rosa who’s wedding I photographed a couple years ago. It was a total blast, full of characters
Shantelle and JP | Carmel Mission and Holman Ranch Wedding | Carmel, CA
Shantelle and JP’s wedding celebration happened at a pair of what are probably my favorite venues on the entire California Central Coast. We headed over to Carmel for their ceremony at the historic Carmel Mission followed by an exquisite reception held at the beautiful Holman Ranch. Holman Ranch is perched on a mountain top with sweeping views of the Carmel Valley. Every detail for the day was meticulously planned by Shantelle and exhibited many items hand made by her and her friends and family. I was so happy to have the opportunity to photograph her wedding and to catch up with one of her bridesmaids whose wedding I photographed a couple of years ago. I even get meet this fine group
Sarah and Michael | Sequoia Retreat Center Wedding | Ben Lomond, CA
When looking back at my weddings of 2013, I’m quite certain that Sarah and Michael’s wedding among the giant redwood trees near Santa Cruz will be right at the top of my most memorable wedding photography experiences. The venue was stunningly beautiful, nestled on a mountain side with giant redwood trees in every direction. While traversing the incredibly steep terrain certainly wasn’t easy, the pay off made it more than worthwhile. Add to the amazing venue the fact that Sarah, Mike, and every one of their friends and family were among the warmest and friendliest people I have had the pleasure of knowing, and it made for a wonderfully tight knit, intimate group, where capturing emotion filled moments came easily.
