Stacy + Mark – A Wedding from the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs

Stacy and Mark originally booked me for a local wedding at St. Therese in the Tower District.  A few weeks after the booking, I get an email from Stacy asking if I would be willing to travel to Colorado Springs if they were able have their wedding at the Air Force Academy Chapel.  After a quick visit to Google...um...yeah, that was a no brainer - check out the photograph that leads off the slideshow below.  I think this is probably the coolest church ever built - at least if you're a little bit of a geek like me and are a little too into sci-fi.

Nora + Brian – A Wedding on Grandpa’s Lake

Nora and Brian were married in an inspirational and emotion packed ceremony on the shore of a lake built by Brian's Grandfather.  The setting was perfect, from the houseboat that carried Nora and her bridesmaids across the lake to the ceremony and the grape Ring Pop delivered by the best man!  I had an amazing time working with Nora and Brian - they are two of the most genuine, caring people I have ever met doing this wedding photography thing.  Here are a few of my favorites;

Lynne-Dee and Brian | A Yosemite Wedding at the Ahwahnee Hotel

This is going to be a HUGE post, find a computer with a fast internet connection!  Lynne-Dee and Brian were married in an intimate ceremony on the Wedding Lawn at the stunning Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park.  One of the great benefits of being a wedding photographer in the Fresno area is that Yosemite is right in my backyard.  I've only had the opportunity to shoot a few weddings in Yosemite, but I have several booked in the future so I'm stoked that that looks like it's changing!

Emily + Adam – A Millerton Lake Engagement Session

Well this has been a long time coming!  I've been out of town traveling for weddings for most of the last couple weeks.  This has left me with a backlog and a lot of posting to do. First up is Emily and Adam and their fabulous engagement pictures taken a Millerton Lake a few weeks ago.  Emily and Adam are getting married at Wolf Lakes later this year and you'll see some wedding photographs from me then.  Funny thing about this couple is that I knew Adam's family about 20-25 years ago (no I'm not that old, I was really young when I knew them!).  Emily is the one that found me, and all through their consultation I was sitting there thinking "Man, the groom and

Rema + Kevin – A Destination Engagement Session from Paso Robles and Avila Beach

For this session we started at the Villa Toscana in Paso Robles.  It's a very beautiful, tuscan style bed and breakfast just outside Paso Robles.  We only had a few minutes there before heading off to the Robert Hall Winery on the way to Avila Beach.  Robert Hall has some gorgeous huge oaks on the property that I love working with.  Once we got to Avila Beach, the light was absolutely sublime.  Combine that great light with the energy and life of Rema and Kevin and we made a little magic.  Definitely one of my favorite sessions so far this year!  Take a look at a few of my favs...

Kendall + Ryan – A Clovis Ranch Wedding

Kendall and Ryan were married on the Harlan Family Ranch outside of Clovis, CA in a beautiful setting made even more stunning by the excellent work of Sheri and Nadia at Star Events.  Kendall and Ryan are two incredibly special people whom I thoroughly enjoyed working with - I'm a little sad it's all in the past.  It was a gorgeous day, and we made some amazing images.  There are a few posted below...

Imani + Joshua – A San Francisco Engagement Session

Imani and Joshua love the city, having lived for several years in downtown SF before moving across the bay.  When it came time to shoot their engagement session, choosing the location was easy.  I loved this session, so often I end up at the beach or the Embarcadero when I travel to San Francisco, it was a pleasure to do something completely new to me and just wander the streets and shoot in the city.  Check out a few of my favorites...
