Jillian and John | St. Peters and Kings Country Club | Lemoore, CA

I don't want to sound like a broken record, so I'm not going to mention how scorching hot it was on this day and we'll just pretend it was about 80 degrees and perfect! I can totally get away with that because Jillian and John looked perfect in all their wedding pictures so you'd never know anyway! I had so much fun shooting this wedding, the kids at this one were so awesome - including Jillian's little man Jackson, the dancing pictures were epic, and there were so many great moments all around. I got to revisit St Peter's Catholic Church in Lemoore, a great church for a wedding, and I had my first chance to photograph a wedding at Kings Country

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!

Lauren and Dave | Foothill Engagement Session | Fresno, CA

Lauren and Dave are getting married and who better to share their engagement session with than their son?  This bright-eyed dude was super playful.  After a friend came to hang out with him, I was able to work with Lauren and Dave in a drool free environment.  I really enjoyed hanging out with this loving couple and am very much looking forward to their wedding later this year! Here are a few highlights from the day:
