Stephanie and Chris finally won the weather lottery after the freak coastal fog that rolled in and took out Stephanie's hair (and the sun) at their beach engagement session and the blazing temps recorded at the bachelorette party, the day defied the rainy forecast and was just spectacular. The wedding was a blast, everyone was full of energy and ready to party! Check out a few of my favorites above...
Erin and Garrett were married at Holy Spirit Church, followed by fabulous reception at a family member's back yard. The reception location was very cool, complete with acres of beautiful landscaping - I'm more than a little jealous of that home! Above are a few of my favorites...
Shelly and Jeremy came back to Shelly's hometown Fresno to celebrate their wedding. I loved the bold red that Shelly picked for the weddings colors, and the red and white polka dotted bows on the flower girl dresses were fabulous! We found a cool wall to shoot in front of at the church and then got some great images at the country club, going for a little different look than what I've shown before. Above are a few of my favorites... Enjoy!
I had the pleasure of photographing Bethany and Josh's wedding a couple weeks ago on a beautiful May afternoon. Bethany left nothing out, and had so many great details, from a Candy Bar, to a Coffee Bar (hosted by Planet Java), to 3 (yeah, 3!!!) gorgeous cakes, to massive crystal "diamonds" scattered all around. It was visual feast for sure. Add in a truly spectacular couple with an fabulous sense of humor and it makes for a fantastic day. Between Bethany, Josh, and Bethany's parents it was nearly a constant joke fest! Above are a few of my favorites...
Rebecca and Jason got married on a blistering hot Sunday in May. Unfortunately in addition to the heat, Rebecca wasn't feeling terribly well but she persevered and looking at the photographs from their wedding you would never know! Enjoy!
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 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;
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!
Kirsten and Mike were married at St Joachims in Madera, CA with their reception following at Kirsten's parent's ranch. The gorgeous reception was designed by Dawn Moore of The Divine Event with wine tasting courtesy of Moody Press Cellars - one of Madera's own local wineries. Below are a few of my favorites.
