Yosemite Valley wedding: Cristina and Ramon

Cristina and Ramon’s wedding at the Ahwahnee Hotel was my very first Yosemite Valley Wedding. Of course, I’ve been to the Valley many times, and mostly to work as a photographer, but never to shoot a wedding until now. It turned out to be everything I was hoping for and more. I think what made...

Wolf Lakes wedding: Angela & Josh

Finally got to shoot a wedding at Wolf Lakes Park in Clovis…well, technically Sanger. In my opinion there’s not a better location in the Fresno/Clovis area to have a wedding that this place. And there wasn’t a more beautiful couple to photograph there than my new friends, Angela and Josh. They’ve been very special clients...

Daena & Chris: Dinkey Creek wedding

I some pretty interesting weddings – and I’m so grateful to my clients for that! – but I don’t think I’ve seen one more interesting that Chris and Daena’s wedding held at the Dinkey Creek campgrounds. These two really knew how to throw a party. They reserved the entire lower loop for all their family...
