The wedding of Karina & Nathan

Perhaps the wedding of the year?
Karina and Nathan's wedding ceremony took place at a small church near the little town of Escalon, California. Their reception was hosted on the grounds of a local dairy farm that literally has a three acre oasis on the property. Yes,......Borges Ranch, out in the middle of nowhere has a lush little jungle nestled amongst it's rolling hills. It was gorgeous. I am very lucky to have been given the opportunity to photograph a wedding in such a unique setting.
Here you have just a few of their images.
Karina and Nathan,.......I sincerly thank you for placing your long distance trust and allowing V and I to take part in such an important day in your lives. We wish you the very best.

E-session of Sarah and Jeremy

We always have a good time at our engagment session photo shoots, but I must tell you, this was truly one of the outstanding ones.
Between Sarah's incredibly contagious laughter and Jeremy's fun loving antics, they had us in stiches the entire time we spent together. It was awesome!.......I can't wait for their wedding!
Images were taken at the Beach and Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, California. First picture was exposed to primarily capture background sky blues and a single on camera fill flash was used to expose foreground couple.

The wedding of Kelsi & Craig

Kelsi & Craig's wonderful wedding took place in Turlock, California and was hosted at the venue "Two Guys on Broadway". Some of the images you see here were shot on the grounds of Stanislaus State University.
Kelsi possesses great planning talent, which payed off greatly throughout their well organized day. Everything worked out near perfectly.
For this wedding during the reception we had to bring out the big guns due to increadibly dim lighting.......all four Nikon remote radio controlled flashes were firing from stands, illuminating the entire ball room throughout the night as if it were plain daylight.
Thank you Kelsi and Craig for allowing us to be part of your awesome wedding!

E-session of Keondra & John

John and Keondra were great troopers, they brought a lot of energy and enthusiasm to their photo shoot.
My favorite image has to be the flower field, however, it was not an easy capture. The three of us had to blaze a new walking path through six foot tall very sharp stickered plants to get our spot. Major credit to Keondra.........she treked throught the stickers wearing that short white dress.
Here are just a few of their images.
Thank you guys!

The wedding of Adam & Melissa

Adam & Melissa's western themed wedding took place on the beautiful grounds of a private horse ranch just outside of Turlock, California.
In spite of the cold, windy, rainy weather,......their wedding turned out beautiful. We had to really rush to capture their portraits between rain spells.
Here are a handful of their images.
Thank you Adam & Melissa for having us, we had great fun and you were a pleasure to work with.

The Wedding of Kirsten & Bobby

A warm heartfelt thank you goes out to Kirsten and Bobby, easily one of our all time favorite couples, for giving us the honor of photographing their beautiful day.
Their wedding took place on the immaculate grounds of Pageo Lavender Farms.......the property is the perfect venue to host a first class wedding.
We were very lucky to have been present to bear witness to kindness, the anticipation, the laughter, the tears, the friendships, and to the magical beginning of a new family.
Kirsten and Bobby........we wish you the very best.

The wedding of Samantha & Anthony

I have been very eager to share just a few images from the beautiful wedding of Samantha & Anthony. This gorgeous couple was a total pleasure to work with, incredibly easy going and willing to try most anything their photographer asked of them.
It is pretty rare when I become emotionally choked up behind the camera.......in this wedding, the mother & son dance did it. Out of respect for Anthony and his mother's emotional privacy, I decided not to post that amazing series of images, all I can tell you is that they were some of the best I have ever had the honor of capturing.
Thank you Samantha & Anthony for everything.
