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.

Jeanne’s 50th birthday party

My friend Jeanne Logan asked me to shoot her 50th birthday party a couple of weeks ago and I jumped all over it. I figured anything with with Jeanne and her husband Bobby Logan is going to be a good time. I met Jeanne a few years ago when I photographed her home town of “Cookseyville.” Check out the audio slide show I did for The Bee. The Logans are very musical and very fun. There was a Roaring 20′s theme and a great venue atop a hill in Dinuba with a great view of the Valley. I was happy to be there to capture her milestone birthday (I’m not too far behind you Jeanne). Check out a few of my favorites below.

Ashley & CJ: Married

Had a great time with Ashley and CJ whose wedding I photographed a couple of weeks ago. What a cool thing for Ashley to be married by her father at New Hope Community Church in Clovis. After the service we went out to Old Town Clovis for some fun photos in front of the old brick walls down there. After that we went across the street to the Veterans Memorial Building where we had the best BBQ dinner and spent the rest of the evening dancing and having fun. I had a little fun myself shooting pictures of the new married couple’s rings on top of lemons — which I thought was a cool color accent for the reception. Enjoy!

Steph & Andrew

Craig — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 04:53:13 +0000

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.
