We started Jon and Jamie’s engagement photos in downtown Fresno for some urban landscapes and then shot out east on 180 to Centerville where we found some interesting backdrops, oaks, blossoms and a very cool sunset. Turned out to be a great shoot. Be looking for their wedding photos coming up in May. For the...
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...
My first engagement session of the new year was out in the wine country of Paso Robles. Meredith and Tom live in Pennsylvania but Meredith is from out here, so they are getting married at Wolf Lakes in July. They enjoy tasting wine together so I suggested stopping by a couple of wineries in Paso...
Loved hanging out with Keri and Chris for their big wedding at the Holiday Inn in downtown Fresno last month. I knew it was going to be a great day after having such a good time shooting their engagement session. They are such a great couple couple to shoot. Both really nice people and very...
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,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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....
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...
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,...
It was a wonderfully warm afternoon north of Millerton Lake for a little engagement session with Andy and Rachael last week. I’m also shooting their wedding which is coming up next month. Rachael met Andy a couple of years ago in his native England and came out to California a short while ago to start...
