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.

Keri & Chris: Married

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 accommodating for my occasional unique request: like when I asked them to stand out in the middle of Van Ness Avenue for a couple of portraits. Downtown was such a cool place to be too. So many options for portraits – and we couldn’t have asked for a nicer day. A real classic.

Wolf Lakes wedding: Angela & Josh

Finally got to shoot a wedding at Wolf Lakes Park in Clovis…well, technically Sanger. In my opinion there’s not a better location in the Fresno/Clovis area to have a wedding that this place. And there wasn’t a more beautiful couple to photograph there than my new friends, Angela and Josh. They’ve been very special clients to me and I’ve loved being a part of their big day as well as getting a warm reception from their families. Although it was late August we enjoyed very mild temperatures which helped the day go on without a hitch and provided plenty of incentive for the party to continue on into the night.

I’ve got a few of my favorite images posted below and even more in the slideshow at the bottom.

Dave & Kerry: married on the ranch

Craig — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 05:57:31 +0000

Had the best time at Dave and Kerry’s wedding last month. 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!

Angela and Dean: Married

I was honored by Angela and Dean who gave me the opportunity to photograph their wedding at Ridge Creek Golf Course where they invited an intimate gathering of family to witness their Indonesian wedding in the Muslim tradition. It was really cool to watch. Later, the bride and groom changed into more Americanized wedding wear to celebrate with their friends as well as more extended family members. It was really a great time and a pleasure to capture the emotions and fun that went along with the day. It was also nice to shoot a wedding alongside fellow shooter Glenn Schafer who did video.
