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.

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!

Sheena & Roy: Our Lady of Victory wedding

I did Sheena and Roy’s engagement session back in May. That’s the one where we crossed town several times between Woodward Park, Grace Christian Preschool and Blackbeards. Well the wedding got us out and about town too as we went from getting ready at the Piccadilly Inn – University to Our Lady of Victory church, out to Woodward for some fun pix and then back to the Piccadilly. It was all good and I had a great time meeting Roy and Sheena’s friends and family. I especially liked some of the creative dancing. The couple and their friends really put on a show. Another great wedding shoot in Fresno.

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:

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!
