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!

Dean & Angela: Engaged

Although I’ve been to Bass Lake plenty of times, I’ve never been to Dean and Angela’s secret spot atop the mountain overlooking the lake. It worked out to be a great spot to watch the sun set for their engagement session. We mixed in a few shots in the trees, along the lake shore and at the marina

. But nothing was better than the amazing sunset on the granite dome view. Great time guys. See you for your wedding next month.

Angela and Josh: Engagement pictures at the beach

I was stoked to shoot Angela and Josh’s engagement session since they decided they wanted it to be out in the Carmel area with a quick stop at a local winery. Twist my arm! Uh..yeah ok, cuz it’s so unpleasant to I go make pictures at the beach and a winery with a friendly couple. Carmel has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. I never get tired of going there. I just wish I could get out there more often. Anyway, after our stop at Chateau Julien winery, my gracious company bought me a bottle of wine! You guys are now my best friends. So then we cruised along 17-Mile Drive and made pictures along the beach, the famous Lone Cypress Tree and the wooded area inland. We made one more stop at the beach at Carmel-By-The-Sea before wrapping it up with some coffee and a stroll through town. A very stunningly beautiful couple and a lot of fun too – Angela and Josh – I cannot wait to see the real fun at your wedding this summer.

A look back…

Here is a slideshow of some of my favorite wedding and engagement images from last year. It was my first full year as a photography business owner and I want to express my great appreciation to my clients, friends, fellow photographers and of course, my family for providing me with the avenues to make this year a successful one. I’m thankful for my job at the Fresno Bee where the journalism world continues to evolve. I am hopeful that it will continue to be a part of my life. Once again thanks and onward to 2010!

Karen & Brent: Engaged

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!
