Katie and John – An Urban Engagement Session from Downtown Fresno

Getting back into the swing of things with new year and shooting the first engagement session of the season.  I’m doing the photography for Katie and John’s wedding in late February so we got out and got their engagement session done just in time.  Found a few new locations that I haven’t used before and had a great time on a gray morning, but we got lucky right at the end as the sun finally broke through for the finish.

Here’s a few of my favorites…

Samantha and Nicholas – Wedding Photography from the Golden Palace in Fresno, CA

Samantha and Nick were married at the Golden Palace on what turned out to be a beautiful day landing right in the middle of all these storms.  The Golden Palace was decked out spectacularly – especially the room they created for the ceremony with great light and draping.  You’ll notice a little different look to some of my work as well.  Since the ceremony started right before sunset and because of Samantha and Nick’s desire to not see each other before the wedding, a lot of the photography took place after dark.  A little added light and help from my assistant Adam got things going – a fun twist to start the wedding season!

On a side note, this wedding was another in a long line of friends and family of one of the first couples I booked in my career – so I got to see a ton of familiar faces at this one!

Anyway, here are a few of my favorites, led of as always by a highlight slideshow…Music is “Lovely Tonight” by Joshua Radin

Please indulge a new father for one more post…My daughter Merrill, 20 days old.

We shot a little newborn session on Saturday – the first I have ever done.  Just grabbed a camera that I happened to have at home with me and slid the couch over to the window.  Enjoy… :)

Big Things! Big Things! Hello Merrill Elizabeth Janzen!

So I’ve been quiet here for a few weeks and I thought I’d let y’all know why…

Well, my wife Leslie and I had our second child on 12/21 named Merrill Elizabeth!  We’ve been having a blast getting to know her, and this week I’ve been easing my way back into work.  So here’s a little peak of the the Mark Janzen family v3.0 and a few pics of the newest addition.  Yes I took the family picture doing the whole self-timer thing…I really need to look into getting a remote for that camera!

Enjoy!
