Marisa and Adrienne were married in an intimate ceremony at a family home along the San Joaquin River. It was a stunningly beautiful location for a wedding and was made extra special in that it was also the same spot that Adrienne proposed to Marisa. They were married under the same canopy of trees as his proposal. Take a minute and enjoy a few of my favorites from the day.
Danielle and Stephen are an absolute riot and so are their friends! It was such a blast hanging out with all these guys and Danielle's full speed ahead personality. Enjoy my favorites from their fun and moment filled wedding from Danielle's Dad's back yard.
I love working with such expressive people and Sarah and Aaron - and their families - are a shining example. So many great moments between everyone made my day fly by and made this wedding a little extra enjoyable. Take a minute and enjoy a few of my favorites from the day!
Getting back to last year's weddings, here's an amazing couple from last October at Wolf Lakes Garden Venue. Lot's of kids at this one, including Melissa's adorable daughter! Had a hard time narrowing down this selection, I hope you enjoy it!
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
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!
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
When Cirsten first come to talk to me about being her wedding photographer, one of the first things she said just gave me the warm fuzzies. She told me she didn't know much about her wedding, but she was certain that I was going to the photographer at her wedding - no question about it! To top that all off she chose one of my favorite venues to photograph in Fresno - Copper River Country Club. So it was a bit warm, actually it was really hot, but that didn't slow anyone down. The day was full of emotion and good vibes - lots of great moments to photograph, and lots of great people to work with. One of those days that
Amanda and Tyler were married at the always beautiful Tuscan Gardens in Kingsburg, CA and Associate Photographer, Craig Kohlruss, was there to capture it! The sun was shining onto the vineyards and roses near the ceremony site making for the perfect backdrop for the heartfelt emotions (Amanda and Tyler wrote their own vows), laughter, and happy tears throughout the day! The mariachis at the reception got the party started off with live music and once the dancing began the party shifted into high gear! Here are a few highlights from the day:
