Heather and Matt | Backyard Wedding | Clovis, CA

admin — Mon, 06 Jun 2011 22:54:36 +0000

This is a wedding that I’ve really been looking forward to since the day I put it on my calendar. All my clients are special in their own way, but this is a couple that I have known for several years as they are, together, the face of Copper River weddings. Heather’s the one you talk to when you are booking your wedding and Matt makes sure your reception experience is everything you’d hoped! When they called and asked if I was available, I was honored! Take a minute and enjoy a selection of my favorites from the day!

The Dornay Family | Family Portraits | Clovis, CA

Here’s another session from a family home. If I you haven’t heard me say it before, I absolutely love shooting in people’s homes. Having the opportunity to photograph a family, and especially children, in the home they’re growing up in is unmatched as a location as far as I’m concerned.

Turning One! | Child Portraits | Fresno, CA

This serious little sweetheart is turning one and I had the pleasure of documenting the milestone. There is one image in the gallery above - the close-up of her fingers twisted in the blanket – that is among my favorite images in recent memory. It’s one of those things that any parent can understand – this is her special blanket and she loves to poke her fingers through the holes and hold on tight. I feel that, combined with her and her bottle in the background, this image completely tells the story of this time in her life. It’s an image that will only become more special as she grows.

Kaitlin and Chas | Ranch Engagement Session | Clovis, CA

admin — Wed, 10 Nov 2010 19:06:58 +0000

Kaitlin and Chas are getting married next year at the beautiful Holman Ranch in Carmel Valley – a gorgeous venue that I’m really excited to work in! This post though, is all about their engagement session on the family ranch just outside Clovis, CA. The day was an incredible one with electric blue sky and a clear views of the foothills and Sierras in the background. Aside from that one time when they sat down next to a HUGE RATTLESNAKE, everything was fantastic. Yeah, I said rattlesnake, and no, I suck, I didn’t get a picture – I was too amazed at the site of one of the largest rattlesnakes I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in nature. Take a look at a few of my favorites…

Bianca and Justin | Historic Harlan Ranch Wedding | Clovis, CA

admin — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 15:06:07 +0000

So, I don’t usually write a whole lot in these posts, but this wedding was unbelievable in so many ways. Most notably was how absolutely unshakeable Bianca and Justin were in the face of several “hiccups” on their wedding day. I’ll just detail one of those unexpected happenings: The Ant Attack. Yes, I said “Ant Attack”. Now, it could be expected that an outdoor wedding in a barn, on a ranch, could lead to potential “insect issues”, but ants in the bride’s dress is a little over the top for sure! What happened next, though, really takes the cake. You’ll have to scroll down and check out the images to see what the ever prepared Nadia of Star Events grabbed out of her bag of tricks to remedy the issue. I promise you, you’ve never seen this on a wedding blog!

Shannon and Luis | Ranch Engagement Session | Clovis, CA Foothills

admin — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 15:00:00 +0000

Shannon and Luis are a medical powerhouse all the way from Miami. Well Shannon grew up here and Luis is from Spain, but they’re a couple of doctors who’ll be making their home in Miami after the wedding. We shot the session on Shannon’s family’s ranch. You’ve probably driven past it driving down Auberry Rd – it’s the one with the fresh cherries and vintage trucks parked just inside the fence.

Jennifer and Matt | Copper River and New Hope | Fresno, CA Wedding

admin — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 01:35:43 +0000

Jennifer and Matt were married in a ceremony at New Hope Church, followed by a reception at Copper River Country Club. Jennifer and Matt both played golf for Fresno State University while attending college, so having their reception at a local country club made total sense. I loved the favors – golf balls embossed with the couple’s names and wedding date. I totally got my hands on a couple and look forward to hitting them around a course in the near future! Take a look at a few of my favorites from the day…
