Grace and Chris | Destination Engagement Session | Paso, SLO, and Avila Beach

Grace and Chris asked to shoot at the wineries in Paso Robles and, since Chris is a Cal Poly SLO grad, a little in downtown San Luis Obispo. So that's what we did, and since you can't drive all the way to San Luis Obispo from Fresno and NOT go to the beach, we did that as well just for good measure. I know I had a blast, and Grace and Chris both agreed at the end of the session that it was actually fun and not nearly the painful, agonizing experience they thought having their pictures taken was going to be. ;)

Jennifer and Matt – Engagement Session from Monterey, CA

Jennifer and Matt are both avid golfers and former members of the Fresno State golf team.  So, when it came time to plan their engagement session, a visit to Pebble Beach was a must.  On the way we stopped at Cannery Row in Monterey and then hit numerous locations along the beautiful 17 Mile Drive - finishing at sunset at Pebble beach. Here's a small selection of my favorites...

Kim + Jason – A wedding from San Marcos, some pictures on the beach, and a reception under the stars

Jason's from Fresno, Kim's from San Marcos and they met at Fresno Pacific University.  Jason is an avid photographer who has started his own business with his brother within the last year, and I'm honored that they choose me to be their wedding photographer.  We started out in San Marcos getting ready and for Kim and Jason's first look, then headed out to the beach in Carlsbad for some pictures on the beach.  After the session, we made our way back to the church for a beautiful wedding on the lawn outside followed by a reception with what has to be the best tri-tip I have ever had.  On top of the great food and fun, we were treated to a remake
