Steph & Andrew

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.

Nick & Lisa

What a cool way to end the year! Lisa and Nick’s wedding was to be the last of the year for me. I’ve had a great year and really appreciate the people I’ve been able to work with. I owe a special gratitude to Lisa and Nick who invited me to shoot their wedding at Tenaya Lodge just outside of Yosemite National Park. What a great time we had. Their wedding went off without a hitch and wasted no time getting to the reception – a party for all time! They had the coolest band on hand too, who kept playing on into the night. For all I know they were still going when I checked out the next morning. Cheers!

Karen & Brent: Engaged

Brent-Karen0088I 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!

Ronda & Ryan

A couple of weekends ago I photographed a wonderful wedding at the Tivy Mountain Vineyard along the Kings river toward the rolling hills and vineyards between Wonder Valley and Sanger. It’s such pretty area I’m familiar with as I’ve ridden my road bike through there a few times. But it didn’t look any better than it did when Ronda and Ryan got married there. With lots of friends and family around the help put the event on, the event had a very intimate feel about it. Even Ronda’s shoes made you think you were witnessing something special. Thanks Ronda and Ryan for allowing me to be a part of your day!

Dwain & Maren

Dwain and Maren were married up at the Shaver Lake Catholic Church which gave me the opportunity do do some nice portraits on the lakeshore on a lovely fall afternoon. They were a great couple and had a lot of fun with the camera. Maren didn’t even mind dragging her dress through the sand (heck, she was already married so who cared?). The reception was a kick too with her brother coming out with his Bill Clinton alter ego. Thanks Dwain and Maren for the great photos and good times!
