Engagement: Alik and Garin

Craig — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 19:15:40 +0000

The first time I tried to get together with Alik and Garin for their engagement shoot, the skies over San Francisco opened up for a huge downpour. So we thought the middle of summer would be fine right? Not in San Francisco! Poor Alik was freezing and the sky remained overcast, but we made do and had a good time anyway. It was the second SF engagement with the second Hovsepian bride of the year. Crazy eh? Alik and Garin will be getting married in downtown Fresno on Oct. 1. Stay tuned for those photos.

San Francisco engagement session

Okay, so it wasn’t quite the beautiful spring day we were hoping for at Elizabeth and Brian’s engagement session at San Francisco‘s Palace of Fine Arts and Baker Beach – in fact it ended in clouds and rain – but we couldn’t complain. Hey it’s San Francisco, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, rain or shine. And the couple was great. We really had some fun with it and even walked out on the beach in the drizzle with the Golden Gate Bridge nearly obscured by fog in the background. I know Elizabeth and Brian will have a great wedding in Fresno this fall because they were absolutely cool about the weather. “It’s San Francisco weather,” Brian said. So true. Fun times.

Jon & Jamie: Engaged

We started Jon and Jamie’s engagement photos in downtown Fresno for some urban landscapes and then shot out east on 180 to Centerville where we found some interesting backdrops, oaks, blossoms and a very cool sunset. Turned out to be a great shoot. Be looking for their wedding photos coming up in May.

Josh & Jackie: Engaged

Josh and Jackie approached me about their wedding just a few days ago. They were looking for a quick turnaround as their wedding was to be in only three weeks – AND they needed an engagement session with a guest signature book. To work we went and shot their engagement session at their church – Central Valley Seventh Day Adventist Church in Fresno – and quickly produced these images. Won’t be long and you’ll see some of their wedding images posted here too. Josh and Jackie are musicians and met on a church trip. Their wedding promises to be a memorable one as I’m told their wedding party will include 42 bridesmaids and groomsmen. YIKES!! Tune back soon to see how everything turned out!

Meredith & Tom: Engaged

My first engagement session of the new year was out in the wine country of Paso Robles. Meredith and Tom live in Pennsylvania but Meredith is from out here, so they are getting married at Wolf Lakes in July. They enjoy tasting wine together so I suggested stopping by a couple of wineries in Paso and using their beautiful architecture and landscaping for their engagement shoot. We had a great time and barely escaped the drenching rains. Tom and Meredith are a very fun couple to hang out with and now I can’t wait to shoot their wedding in July.
