Kim and Aaron | Urban Engagement Session | Downtown Fresno, CA

The skies and the light were just unreal for Kim and Aaron’s engagement session. We explored a little section of downtown that I had only spent a limited amount of time in. The find of the month was the BRIGHT orange wall and loading door hidden down an alley. Loved shooting downtown again, and Kim and Aaron’s enthusiasm just made everything more sweet!

Halle’s personality is so big, I don’t know if these pictures can contain it! She was a blast to photograph, even offering up some great ideas of her own along the way. Enjoy…

Kristine and Bryan – Wedding from St. John’s and the Downtown Holiday Inn

Kristine and Bryan were married on a beautiful, crisp and cool day in March. And aside from a small mishap regarding the delivery location for the flowers (don’t worry, it all worked out!), everything was fantastic! St. John’s is one of my favorite churches and keeping everything downtown made for easy use of some cool locations for the portraits. Check out a few of my favorites below…

Jennifer and Matt – Engagement Session from Monterey, CA

Jennifer and Matt are both avid golfers and former members of the Fresno State golf team. So, when it came time to plan their engagement session, a visit to Pebble Beach was a must. On the way we stopped at Cannery Row in Monterey and then hit numerous locations along the beautiful 17 Mile Drive – finishing at sunset at Pebble beach.

Here’s a small selection of my favorites…

Family Portraits – A Few Recent Samples for you…

admin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 07:00:35 +0000

Contrary to what you might think, after looking at all the weddings and engagement sessions on my site, I do shoot families, kids, seniors and all that too! In honor of the Groupon offer that launched today, I thought I would throw up a little sampling of some of my more recent portrait work. Enjoy!

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…

Jamie + Braden – Wedding from St. John’s Cathedral and The Banker’s Ballroom

admin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:00:24 +0000

No offense to any of the other couples I photographed this year, but Jamie and Braden’s wedding might have been the most unique wedding I photographed this year. The bringing together of two very strong cultures and family histories made for a really interesting day. It was a Scottish and Mexican mash-up that was a treat to experience, from a Bagpiper, to Mariachis, and from delicious Mexican food to Tartans and swords to the live band and the DJ that sounded like he was straight off a spanish radio station. Everything was spectacular – even the “fake cake” that was quickly put together when the real cake was almost 2 hours late (it did show up). We finished the night with a quick session on the balcony at the top of the tallest building in Fresno – The Pacific Towers building downtown (AKA the Security Bank building).

Below are a few of my favorites, with a slideshow to lead things off. Click the first image to start the show! Music is “Love and Some Verses” by Iron and Wine.
