Heather and Matt | Fall Engagement Session | Fresno, CA

I've known Heather and Matt for a few years now, as they both work at one of the nicest wedding venues in the area - Copper River Country Club. When I met Matt, we was one of the bartenders and now he runs the restaurant that makes all the fabulous food your guests enjoy. I always have a special place in my heart for the folks that make dinner happen! Heather's the one you talk to if you are looking to book an event at the club and she makes sure everything goes off without a hitch. It's always a highlight when I see their smiling faces on a wedding day, and I'm stoked to be the one to photograph their wedding

Brianne and Andrew | Carmel Mission, Cardella Winery Wedding | Carmel and Mendota, CA

A small "wedding photographer" dream of mine has been to shoot a wedding at the Carmel Mission in Carmel, CA. Being from Fresno, I didn't think that it was all that likely that I would ever get the opportunity though. Then Brianne called me. Brianne was a bridesmaid in another wedding I shot a couple years ago, and when she told me she was getting married at the Mission, I could barely contain my excitement! Fast forward to a couple months before her wedding when she called to let me know her reception location had changed to the Cardella Winery in Mendota, and yes, it was still following the wedding. So that brings me to the most miles travelled on one day

Kim and Aaron | Meridian Winery Wedding | Paso Robles, CA

The recurring theme this fall has been a forecast all week calling for rain on the wedding day, only to break apart and deliver some of the most gorgeous possible weather imaginable. While it can be quite cool this time of year - especially in the evening - there is nothing like the Fall light in California. Passing storms and clouds only serve to make it more perfect. Kim and Aaron's wedding took place on one of those amazing days! I had so many favorites from this wedding it was nearly impossible to narrow it down. I do hope you enjoy this selection...
