Shelly + Jeremy – A Westminster Presbyterian and Copper River Wedding

Shelly and Jeremy came back to Shelly's hometown Fresno to celebrate their wedding.  I loved the bold red that Shelly picked for the weddings colors, and the red and white polka dotted bows on the flower girl dresses were fabulous!  We found a cool wall to shoot in front of at the church and then got some great images at the country club, going for a little different look than what I've shown before.  Above are a few of my favorites... Enjoy!

Bethany + Josh – A Wolf Lakes Wedding

I had the pleasure of photographing Bethany and Josh's wedding a couple weeks ago on a beautiful May afternoon.  Bethany left nothing out, and had so many great details, from a Candy Bar, to a Coffee Bar (hosted by Planet Java), to 3 (yeah, 3!!!) gorgeous cakes, to massive crystal "diamonds" scattered all around.  It was visual feast for sure.  Add in a truly spectacular couple with an fabulous sense of humor and it makes for a fantastic day.  Between Bethany, Josh, and Bethany's parents it was nearly a constant joke fest! Above are a few of my favorites...

Stephanie + Alex – Engagement Session from the Paso Robles Wine Country and Avila Beach

Woohooo!  Off to wine country again for Stephanie and Alex's engagement session followed by a little session at the beach as the sun set.  Aside from the extreme wind that is common at the beach, and the very unkind, and unruly, seagull that made a "mess" of things towards the end (don't worry - that's NOT common), we had a fabulous time and made some really cool images.  Above you'll find several of my favorites...Enjoy!

Jamie + Chris – Engagement Session on the San Joaquin River Parkway

Jamie and Chris will be getting married at Lake Tahoe in September and I will be there to document the day.  This time around though, they were in town for the weekend so we took advantage of the time to get their engagement session in.  We went to a location that is new for me.  I have frequently driven down Friant and glanced towards the river and the trail that has been built along it - wondering how it would work for a session.  I made the suggestion, and I'm glad they took me up on the offer - I love the results we got in spite of the gale force winds!   Here are  a few of my favorites:
