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: 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: 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.
