How could I not ? It was held at the Running P Ranch in Woodlake. Running Pee? Really? That’s awesome. And everybody there enjoyed it just as much as I did. So what if I had to dodge a little horse poop here and there to get great shots of the lovely couple. It was worth it. We had whatcha call a down home, knee-slappin’ good time. Dave and Kerry – thank you so much for the opportunity. I loved it!

Karen and Brent, whose engagement I shot last November, were married at the Buddhist Temple in downtown Fresno. Their party moved on to Pardini’s were it continued into the night. I knew shooting this wedding, I was in for a lot of fun, and Karen and Brent did not disappoint – nor did their friends or family. It was quite a blast. I only wish I could join them, but I was working too hard to capture all the unforgettable moments that happened throughout the day and night. Good thing I had the talents of Bill Haines along, who backed me up as a second shooter. On this day we had seen forecasts for rain, but as luck would have it, the drops stayed away until we went into the reception. And the sky really gave us some incredible color do do portraits of the happy couple.

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.
