Josh & Jackie: January wedding

Craig — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 16:26:41 +0000

Josh and Jackie’s wedding day started out a little foggy but turned into a beautiful day by the time of their reception at the Banker’s Ballroom in downtown Fresno. Services were held at Central Valley Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Fresno where a huge wedding party began getting ready. The church was eventually packed as it was standing room only to witness the vows for the special couple. Music became the theme as both Josh and Jackie are passionate musicians and a number of songs were performed throughout the day. A Filipino dance was performed in the beautiful light at the Banker’s Ballroom and a mini-concert of lovely songs was conducted by a multitude of talented artists. Josh and Jackie’s wedding was one for the ages.

Tiffani & Jordan: Truth Tabernacle wedding

Tiffani and Jordan were married in front of hundreds at Truth Tabernacle Church in Fresno where Pastor Vaughn Morton lightened things up a bit with a few jokes. Tiffani, who happens to be the daughter of my colleague John Mincks at the Fresno Bee, was very relaxed as I watched her get her hair done at the Church. Jordan also seemed very much at ease – even after draining a Monster energy drink. All in all, it was a fun time watching the day unfold. Great food and a yummy dessert capped off the afternoon as the newlyweds departed for their honeymoon in San Francisco. Here are a few of my favorite images from the day:

Steph & Andrew

Craig — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:53:13 +0000

My first wedding of 2010 was for my friends Andrew and Stephanie who were married at the People’s Church Chapel and celebrated with pasta and chicken at Dicicco’s in Clovis. This had to be one of my more fun weddings to shoot because these two were having so much fun. They were exhausted from travelling out to California from South Dakota to be married in front of their family and friends, but you would never know it by watching them. Andrew broke out the Nerf guns as gifts for his groomsmen which took the edge off right away. And the portait session after the ceremony was such a crackup, I could barely focus. I extend my gratitude to this wonderful couple and their great family for allowing me the opportunity and the privilege to be a part of this day. It was truly an honor.

Newborn session

Craig — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 05:46:28 +0000

This little guy is only three weeks old and was part of a family portrait session I did in Fresno over the New Year holiday weekend. I hadn’t done too many newborns yet, other than when my own were born, so it was kind of fun to do something a little different.

Kai

This is Kai, a cute little girl who I photographed in a portrait session last weekend. She had the Audrey Hepburn thing going pretty good and we did a number of references to old photos of the famous Hollywood star. Can’t help but start humming ‘Moon River’ while working on these photos.
