Tiffany & Jordan: Truth Tabernacle wedding

Craig — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 04:55:57 +0000

Tiffany 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. Tiffany, 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:

Roy & Sheena: Engaged

Had a good ol’ time hanging out with Roy and Sheena and driving from one corner of Fresno to the other all night. We started with a fun stop at Grace Christian Preschool of Fresno where the two actually met as toddlers! Then we were off to Woodward Park to catch the sunset and gets some nice landscape shots. To cap the night we went to Blackbeards, a favorite of theirs, to have some fun playing games and miniature golf. If this is any indication, I’m thinking their wedding is going to be a blast!

Ashley & CJ: Married

Had a great time with Ashley and CJ whose wedding I photographed a couple of weeks ago. What a cool thing for Ashley to be married by her father at New Hope Community Church in Clovis. After the service we went out to Old Town Clovis for some fun photos in front of the old brick walls down there. After that we went across the street to the Veterans Memorial Building where we had the best BBQ dinner and spent the rest of the evening dancing and having fun. I had a little fun myself shooting pictures of the new married couple’s rings on top of lemons — which I thought was a cool color accent for the reception. Enjoy!

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.

Karen & Brent: Engaged

Craig — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:44:53 +0000

I will be shooting Brent and Karen’s wedding in February when they tie the knot at the historic Buddhist Temple in downtown Fresno. We spent an afternoon at Brent’s family home doing some cool engagement shots as the sun began to dip over the horizon. It was a fun shoot. We even re-enacted the proposal. Looking forward to February for more!
