It was a lot of fun to shoot the wedding of Rachel and James! We started out our day at the Alchemy Salon in Fresno where girls got gussied up. Then, we headed out to Wolf Lakes for the wedding and reception. I really enjoyed the bold yellow flowers that Rachel chose for the bouquets and the guys looked pretty good in their boutonnieres too! Check out a few of my favorite images.
I was honored to photograph the wedding of Nicole and Kenny at St. Peter's Church in Lemoore, California. When you are around this couple you can really see how deeply they care for each other. After the wedding we took the short drive to one of my favorite south valley venues - Koetsier Ranch. Nicole and Kenny arranged to have her Grandpa's sweet truck out at the ranch. They also had the Rolling Cones ice cream truck from the great Superior Dairy in Hanford (and ice cream makes everyone happy)! Here are a few of my favorites from the day:
Amanda and Tyler were married at the always beautiful Tuscan Gardens in Kingsburg, CA and Associate Photographer, Craig Kohlruss, was there to capture it! The sun was shining onto the vineyards and roses near the ceremony site making for the perfect backdrop for the heartfelt emotions (Amanda and Tyler wrote their own vows), laughter, and happy tears throughout the day! The mariachis at the reception got the party started off with live music and once the dancing began the party shifted into high gear! Here are a few highlights from the day:
This was my first wedding at the Vista Ranch and Cellars in Merced. And it was made extra special by Michaela and her groom Alex whose family owns the winery! There were so many adorable kids at this wedding and I was really happy to see tons of my former wedding clients from the Merced and Chowchilla area! My friend Kip Beelman from Seattle joined me at this wedding where he was introduced to our Valley by the random 97 degree April day! But, the party persevered! In fact, I hesitate to use the word "epic" as it's pretty overused but, the party at the reception at this wedding was a truly epic party! I'd really love to get a chance to
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!
I am happy to share with you another wedding photographed by Associate Photographer Craig Kohlruss! Mary and James were married at Wolf Lakes Park just outside of Fresno. I've really enjoyed working with these images and seeing all of the great moments throughout the day. Here are a few of my favorites:
Here is a senior session from downtown Fresno. Kylee graduates from Central this year - go Grizzlies! So, as life gets busy for the seniors around the valley, with finals, prom, and graduation, I hope you take a little break to peek at a selection of my favorites from an evening spent enjoying the textures and colors downtown!

This wedding was a first for me! Adrianna and Alex chose to have both Catholic and Jewish wedding ceremonies back to back! It was really cool to see the two cultures come together for such a happy occasion! Enjoy a few of my favorites:
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!
