Vicki and Evan | Cathedral Beach Wedding | Yosemite National Park

Vicki and Evan were married at the edge of the Merced River next to what would have been Cathedral Beach if we hadn't had a massively wet winter. The river was close to flood stage, and their officiant didn't make it on time due to extreme summer weekend traffic, but the bride's friend/wedding planner saved the ceremony by using her single bar of data on her phone to get herself ordained and then proceeded to knock it out of the park. Throw in some great dancers and the whole wedding day was a fantastic party. Enjoy a few of my favorites.

Lauren and Andrew | Tuscan Gardens Wedding | Kingsburg, CA

Keeping it rolling, here is a wedding from Tuscan Gardens in Kingsburg, CA just a little south of Fresno. Featuring Lauren and Andrew tying things up with a little help from their son and all his antics. I love those little kids at weddings, such a blast! I also had a chance to work with one of the best planners in the central valley - Cassandra of Weddings by Cassandra. If you're looking for a planner for your wedding, look her up; she can't be beat. Enjoy...

Jillian and John | St. Peters and Kings Country Club | Lemoore, CA

I don't want to sound like a broken record, so I'm not going to mention how scorching hot it was on this day and we'll just pretend it was about 80 degrees and perfect! I can totally get away with that because Jillian and John looked perfect in all their wedding pictures so you'd never know anyway! I had so much fun shooting this wedding, the kids at this one were so awesome - including Jillian's little man Jackson, the dancing pictures were epic, and there were so many great moments all around. I got to revisit St Peter's Catholic Church in Lemoore, a great church for a wedding, and I had my first chance to photograph a wedding at Kings Country

Sara and Mat | St. Paul’s and Engelmann Cellars Wedding | Fresno, CA

Next up is Sara and Mat's wedding, beautifully photographed by our Associate Photographer Craig Kohlruss. From what I hear it was blistering hot, but you wouldn't know it from all these great images! Sara and Mat looked great and Craig did a fantastic job. Enjoy a selection of my favorite images from the day...

Chelsie and Brett | Holland Park West Wedding | Fresno, CA

Woah, it was hot! Like 100 million degrees or something like that, but Chelsie looked amazing and no one let it get them down! I also had my associate photographer Craig Kohlruss out with me for this one to shoot a little and to give me a little backup - a couple of the images here are his as well. It was cool to get back out to Holland Park as I haven't been there in a couple of years, it's as beautiful as ever! Twas a great day that ended with Chelsie and Brett taking off in one of the coolest get away cars I've seen. Check out a few of my favorites from the day!

Sheri and Kevin | A Wedding from The Grove | Sanger, CA

Sheri and Kevin were married a few weeks ago at the "new" old venue The Grove. You may know it as Hobbs Grove, but they've revamped the place to cater more to weddings and it's looking great. This was my first chance to work at The Grove and I was fortunate to have such cool, laid back couple to spend the day with. In spite of the heat, everyone had a blast and I took a few photographs that I'm pretty proud of. See a few of them here!

Daniel and Yi-Hsing | Yosemite Engagement Session | Yosemite National Park, CA

Continuing with the "Summer in Yosemite" theme, here's Dan and Yi-Hsing's engagement session. I shot this wedding with the wickedly talented Mariano Friginal on video and we headed up the day before to shoot a little engagement session ahead of the wedding. Just another amazingly beautiful day in Yosemite! Take a minute to enjoy a few of my favorites.
