Introducing Joe and Jerrica...a Platinum Weddings couple

I just heard the news this morning about Joe and Jerrica's upcoming wedding. They've been chosen to be on the reality TV show Platinum Weddings. I'm so excited to be a part of it. I know there's been lots of behind the scenes work to make this happen and it's definitely paid off. We opted to do a "day after" session sometime after the wedding rather than an engagement session (we've got some pretty fun things planned) but here's a few pictures that were done for their playbill/program for the wedding reception.

Married: Reno & Mikhaila

Last weekend while most of us were "un"laboring on labor day weekend, Reno and Mikhaila were getting married...and I was fortunate enough to be able to take part in it, as their photographer. I photographed Mikhaila's sister's Senior pictures a couple of years ago so it was great to be able to see and visit with the family again. Everything was held in the Palatine building/Slates Restaurant where there was loads of photo opportunities. After the record setting ceremony (4 minutes), we headed to the roof to do a bridal party picture as well as the "creative portraits" of both Reno and Mikhaila. My great assistant Justin once again facilitated in the making of lots of these shots, and even took some of these shots, and I couldn't have done it without him so major props to him. Take a look below at some of my favorites and be sure to let me know what you think in the comments.

Engaged: Ryan & Aimee

Ryan and Aimee love being outdoors so we decided to take this engagement shoot to the foothills where we could have some uncluttered views to work with. It was a beautiful location, and I even got to climb (and almost fall out of) a tree. These two are getting married in only a few weeks at an amazing location in Lodi called Wine & Roses. Take a peek at my most favorite pics from that day.

Engaged: Reno & Mikhaila

Wow, this wedding is coming up pretty quick.....like, uhmmm.....tomorrow. I can't wait. We made a little time amongst Reno and Mikhaila's busy schedules to head out for a mini-engagement session. We managed to hit all of Fresno's hot spots, like the back lot of UPS, under a random bridge at FWY 99, and a baseball field. Seriously, it was nearly 90 degrees when we were shooting. Anywho, here's some of my favs from the day. Enjoy!

Engaged: Garrett & Lyndi

We all definitely shared a few giggles on this engagement shoot. Garrett and Lyndi, like most of us, share a love of caffeine, so we started their shoot off with a little jolt from a nearby Starbucks and then we walked over to Woodward Park in Fresno. We even got to grab a few shots with their "kids" Toby and Izzy. Shortly after that we did an outfit change, well they did, and then headed to River Park to finish off the shoot. I know Garrett's been hittin' the refresh button waitin' for this blog to hit so without further delay, enjoy the pics.
