Julie and Tony | St. John’s Cathedral Wedding | Fresno, CA

Here we go, back on the wedding posting train! I'm really far behind, so get ready for a flood of new posts - I have the whole 2nd half of 2013 to catch up on! First up is Julie and Tony's wedding from St. John's Cathedral followed by a gorgeous outdoor reception at a private residence in the historic Old Fig Garden neighborhood. It may have been scorching hot, but that didn't slow anyone down on the dance floor. It was a certainly one of the parties of the year! It was also an opportunity to catch up with some old friends, including Tony's sister Rosa who's wedding I photographed a couple years ago. It was a total blast, full of characters

Brand Spanking New Wedding Portfolio!

After 4 years, I finally sat down and went through 100,000+ or so wedding pictures I've taken over the last 8 years and pared it down to 76 or so of my absolute favorites - the images that I feel define my style and how I photograph weddings. True to nature it's heavy on moments, heavy on joy, heavy on the quirky little kids, with a dash of dynamic portraits thrown in for good measure. I hope it brings a smile to your face, and I really hope it inspires you to get in touch with me about shooting your wedding. Enjoy!

Lacie and Chris | Victorian Gardens of Two Sisters | Kingsburg, CA

One of the pleasures of being a wedding photographer in Fresno is those extra special, early summer, rogue heat waves that show up every year before we're used to 100+ degree days. And by pleasure I mean pain, haha! This was one of those weddings. It was so hot that the local news even visited the rehearsal the day before their wedding because it was forecast to hit 108, 110 - something crazy whatever it was. I loved that Lacie and Chris didn't let the heat phase them at all. Of course the reception was a dressed down affair, but their spirits were riding high all day and the moments were fantastic all around. And as a message to all those brides

The Jaurigue Family | Vineyard Family Portrait Session | Fresno, CA

Mark took a drive south to hang out with the Jaurigue family at their home.  They got to meander through the vineyards that have been in Paul's family for generations.  It's really neat to look at these images and know that someday little Manny will have these memories of growing up on the farm! Manny is a super-cute kid (as you can see) and the Fogartys were a bunch of fun for Mark to hang out with: laid-back and easy going! Enjoy some of our favorites from the day!

Associate Photographer Craig Kohlruss photographed the wedding of Michelle and Josh! The ceremony took place at St. Anthony of Padua Parish. Then, they headed over the the CSUF University House in Old Fig Garden where their friends and family got to help them celebrate their big day with a rockin' reception filled with much love and dancing! Here are a selection of my favorite images.
