Lacey and Justin | Tuscan Gardens Wedding | Kingsburg, CA

admin — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 20:36:31 +0000

Next up is Lacey and Justin’s wedding from the beautiful Tuscan Gardens in Kingsburg, CA. This was an amazing group of people, with no shortage of huge personalities and I saw some things I’ve never seen before and I’m not sure I wanted to – just for kicks I shared a couple with you here. Enjoy the slideshow!

Erika and Craig | Ranch Wedding | Madera, CA

Erika and Craig are one of those couples that are just a joy to photograph. Erika is a complete ham and just seems to be having an amazing time ALL the time and Craig is just this laid back guy totally happy to be along for the ride. It was a nice warm day that wasn’t nearly as hot as it was supposed to be, with some great light just in time for the couple’s portraits, and we just made it in time for a really cool portrait at dusk just before we lost all the color in the sky. And then there was the dance floor…I can’t really put that into words, you’ll have to look at the pictures. Enjoy!

Heather and Matt | Backyard Wedding | Clovis, CA

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!

Katherine and Jordan | Engagement Session | Kingsburg, CA

For Katherine and Jordan’s engagement session we headed down to a relative’s ranch down near Kingsburg, CA. We were blessed with an absolutely amazing day sandwiched in between all the rain we have been getting this spring. Beautiful sky, beautiful blossoms and a very cool, overgrown vineyard all full of lush, green grasses and wildflowers. We even had a beat up old farmhouse to use as a backdrop. Check out a few of my favorite images from the session.

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!

Leah and Blair | The Wedding Album | Reedley, CA

So before this site sees the onslaught of wedding images coming (I’m shooting 16 weddings in the next 9 weeks), I thought I might throw up something a little different. You’ve probably seen the highlight posts, maybe a few older extended slideshows, but what does the final presentation look like? This post is all about the album. These are the spreads in Leah and Blair’s album from their wedding back in early March. The first image is the cover that wraps around the album – so the left half is the back of the book, and the right half is the front. The rest of the images are of each double page spread. Enjoy!

Leah and Blair | Wedding from Reedley MB and the Family Orchard

nate — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 23:15:39 +0000

Leah and Blair had a spectacular plan for their wedding day – and with more than a few nervous looks to the sky hoping the rain wouldn’t come, it came off beautifully. Leah’s family orchard was in full bloom and made for a perfect setting for photographs and the backdrop to their reception in the barn. Their ceremony took place at the Reedley Mennonite Brethren church. The highlight of the day is when Leah and Blair arrived to the reception in a fully restored Ford Model A, driving down the grassy lane planted down one of the orchard rows.

I must also mention the talented Mr. Mariano Friginal accompanied me to shoot video – see the sweet trailer here.

Here’s (more than) a few of my favorites!

Rosa and Mark – Engagement Session from Chowchilla, CA.

For Rosa and Mark’s engagement session, we met up just outside Chowchilla and made use of the rural country side. We shot in orchards, used the palms lining Robertson Blvd., found a cool green field, and then this great young orchard overgrown with wildflowers. This was also the first couple of mine to bust out the cowboy hats – yeeehaw! Aside from Mark (not me, the other guy!) getting stung by a bee, it was a sweet session!

Here’s a small selection of my favorites:
