Married: Juan & Shelby Fresno Luxury Wedding Photography

Juan and Shelby have done it...yep, they tied the knot...and did it in style. They had an amazing wedding at Shelby's parents Italian villa inspired residence. The back yard was initially set up for the ceremony, then once the ceremony concluded, all of the guests moved to the courtyard in the front of the house for hand passed appetizers and to enjoy a mariachi band. While this was going on the back yard was being transformed into an amazing reception area much like that of a fine dining restaurant. Another one of the coolest things I'd seen in a while was the flowers on the cake were exact replicas of those on Shelby's dress. It's this kind of attention to detail that makes my "job" so much fun. Once again, and it seems I say this for every client, I am so fortunate to be able to work with families such as Juan and Shelby's. Thank you for allowing me to capture your wedding memories that I hope you will cherish for a lifetime.

Married: Garrett & Lyndi- Wolf Lakes Wedding, Sanger

Up next is Garrett and Lyndi. Woot! This wedding came to me from photographing Garrett's brother's Senior pictures not too many years ago. I've also done some portraits for Garrett's family as well. I love it when families continue to come to me to capture their important family memoriess. LOVE it!

Anywhoooo, Garrett and Lyndi's wedding was held on a Friday afternoon at the beautiful Wolf Lakes in Sanger, CA. The weather couldn't have been better and everything went off without a hitch. Check below for some of my favorites from the day.

I know I've mentioned it before but a big THANK YOU once again to Garrett and Lyndi and their families for having me play such an important role in capturing those precious memories.

Halloween 2009 @ the Ellises

Jen and I decided again this year to have a little Halloween get together with friends, family, and neighbors and it was FUN, FUN, FUN. I ended up settin' up the camera, lights, and backdrop and takin' pictures of everyone. I'm not sure the sugar has even worn off yet as the kids are up early and still bouncin' off the walls but in the meantime see some of my faves below. If you wanna see some more Halloween goodness from our shindig just go here.

Married: Ryan & Aimee Wedding @ Wine & Roses, Lodi, CA

Not too long ago I headed up North to witness (and photograph) Ryan and Aimee's wedding. It was located at the beautiful Wine & Roses in Lodi, CA. Although things ran a bit behind (well, a lot behind) schedule, we still managed to pull off some great creative shots and we were still able to have a first look, which I love love love when my clients choose to do that. Check out some of my favorites from the day and be sure to let me know in the comments what you think.

Married: Graham & Jaime- Holland Park West Wedding

Not too long ago I photographed Jaime's High School Senior Portraits. I always jokingly (with a very serious side to it) make the girls promise me that I'll be the one to photograph their wedding as well....you know it's good for business. ;) Well, Jaime met Graham, the man of her dreams, just a couple short years after she graduated from High School and I got a call asking me to photograph their wedding. Woo hoo! It worked.

It was a beautiful, albeit a little warm (err, HOT) Friday afternoon. They both got ready at Holland Park West. They shared their first look there (love those), as well as some portraits, and then we headed to Northwest Church for the ceremony, and then jumped back to Holland Park West for the reception.

Please take a peek at some of my favorites from the day.....and a big THANK YOU goes out to Graham and Jaime, as well as their families for having me share such an important role in their wedding. Thank you for allowing me to do what I LOVE to do.

Married: Derek & Michele, a Paradise Springs Wedding

Ok, back from my beauty rest. It's time for the rest of Derek and Michele's images from their beautiful Paradise Springs wedding. I was honored to be chosen as Derek's wedding photographer. He's a great photog in his own right and has a great eye for composition. If you get a minute you should check out some of his work. I also want to thank Justin and Cori for helping me out that day. There was a lot of mountain climbing and when you're shooting for another photog you wanna make sure not to miss anything. Now, on to the pics.
