For Brianne and Andrew's session we headed north to San Francisco. We started at Muir Woods and then stopped off in the Marin Headlands on the way to Baker Beach. I'm shooting Brianne and Andrew's wedding later this year and I'm really looking forward to it. They're getting married at the Carmel Mission - a venue I have dreamed of photographing in for several years!
I will be shooting Stacey and Brent's engagement session down in southern California later this year, but last week they drove up here so that I could shoot their engagement session. I've done a bunch of sessions up at Millerton this year but I'm still finding new places to shoot, it's kinda fun! Check out a set of my favorites.
For Julie and Burton's engagement session we headed out to Monterey and the famous 17 mile drive. I'd never shot a session there, so it was an extra treat to have an entirely new area to explore. Check out a few of my favorites...
I took Katrina and Vincent out to Millerton Lake for a session just as the sun was disappearing behind the mountains. Just enough time to catch a few great shots. Here's a few of my favorites.
Emilie's family owns a huge ranch up in the foothills outside of Fresno (or Clovis I guess) so when it came time to shoot their engagement session we headed for the hills. After a quick stop to catch some of the last orchard blossoms of the season, we made our way to the ranch. It was a very cool spot, complete with one of those cool old weathered barns. Check out a few of my favorites from the session.
Leah and Blair had a spectacular plan for their wedding day - and with more than a few nervous looks to the sky hoping the rain wouldn't come, it came off beautifully. Leah's family orchard was in full bloom and made for a perfect setting for photographs and the backdrop to their reception in the barn. Their ceremony took place at the Reedley Mennonite Brethren church. The highlight of the day is when Leah and Blair arrived to the reception in a fully restored Ford Model A, driving down the grassy lane planted down one of the orchard rows. I must also mention the talented Mr. Mariano Friginal accompanied me to shoot video - see the sweet trailer here. Here's (more than)
Cassie and Jeff were my first spring engagement session this year, and with all the rain we had this year the bloom did not disappoint! Check out a few of my favorites...
Katie and John have got to be the luckiest two people on earth! On a day when rain was certain, they had an outdoor ceremony and the rain held off until about 20 minutes after the ceremony ended - just perfect to get a portrait session in. Thankfully, we had a gorgeous day through the afternoon and the clouds just started to roll in as the ceremony began. After it finished raining during the reception we went back out for some cool night-time portraits to finish off the night. Congrats Katie and John! Here are a few of my favorites...
