A downtown Fresno wedding day, photographed from the first look through to the last dance.

Fresno

Mountain water and late light. Bass Lake gives a ceremony a horizon most valley venues cannot.

Bass Lake

Open ranch country east of Fresno, shot wide so the setting stays part of the picture.

Wonder Valley

A lakeside ceremony with the water carrying the last of the afternoon sun.

Wolf Lakes

Formal portraits under architecture, lit to keep the room in the frame rather than flatten it.

The Grand

Reception light after dark. A barn holds warmth better than any other room we shoot in.

Night Barn

The dip at the end of the first dance, caught on the floor rather than staged for it.

The Dip

A clear valley afternoon in Clovis, with nothing between the couple and the sky.

Blue Sky

A destination ceremony on the California coast, worth the drive out of the valley.

Shoreline

Quiet minutes away from the party, with the lake doing most of the work.

Lakeside

The bridal party before the ceremony, photographed while everyone is still laughing.

Bridesmaids

Big country behind a small moment. The couple stays the subject, the landscape sets the scale.

Majestic

A walk out onto the bridge between the ceremony and the reception.

The Bridge

An engagement session at the water, shot late enough for the light to turn.

At the Lake

Horses, open ground and no hurry. Engagement sessions are included with most wedding packages.

The Ranch

Close in and quiet, the way most of an engagement session actually goes.

Dreamers

The last hour of usable light, which is where most of the good frames live.

Golden Hour

A newborn session at home, kept short and led by the baby rather than the shot list.

New Family

Newborn portraits, photographed in whatever light the room already has.

First Smile

The smallest guest at the wedding, usually the least self conscious in front of a lens.

Little Bride

Details are photographed before the room fills, while everything is still exactly as it was set.

The Cake

Backlit fabric, photographed in the few minutes before the ceremony starts.

The Veil

The dress hung and photographed while the room is still quiet.

The Dress

The bouquet, shot close, because it is one of the few things from the day that does not last.
