Mike + Vicki’s Vegas Style Wedding!

Mike and Vicki’s wedding in Vegas was definitely a memorable one.  From the Choral Suite on the 61st floor of Mandalay Bay to the the after party at the Foundation Room and Ghostbar, the views were nothing less than breathtaking!  These two make a great couple, and you could tell by the way Mike’s 15 and 20 year old sons welcomed Vicki to their family!  Mike and Vicki were kind enough to invite us to come along and celebrate such a beautiful event!  Here’s just a few of the images from their wedding…

Ross + Roxanne’s Wedding In The Country!

I met Ross and Roxanne several months ago, when they came to me wanting to do an engagement session.  When they told me they wanted to book us for their wedding as well, I was ecstatic… they make such a cute couple and anyone who spends a few minutes with them will see that they are head over heels in love with each other!  I was honored to shoot their wedding, and since they since the wedding took place at the beautiful Park Place in Shafter… add all the ingredients up and you have one beautiful wedding!  I also have to thank my dad and Sara the wonderful intern from South Dakota who came out to help me as second and third shooters.  They did an amazing job, and I couldn’t have done it without them!

Friday Funny!

Well I’m off to shoot Ross and Roxanne’s wedding today with Intern Sara and my dad! Before I go I have an image to share…

Just look at this guy my daughter brought home! He show’s up at our house, kicks his feet up on the furniture and gets into the ice cream… not to mention he looks way too old to be hanging out with a 6 year old!

I want to know what he’s up to, with that devious smirk on his face…

Joe + Julia :: Sunset Engagement

Tonight I had a chance to get to know Joe and Julia a little better, and let me tell you, they are an awesome young couple!  They are two of the nicest and most cheerful people you’ll ever meet.  Joe works for the railroad, which of course meant we had to start out on the tracks.  After that we ended up heading out towards Kern Canyon for a more rural look!  I am so excited to be shooting their wedding next weekend!  Here are a few of the shots from their engagement session, and make sure you come back to our blog after May 22nd to see some images from their wedding!  We already have some really fun stuff planned for the pictures!

The Barkers are expecting!!!

Sunday’s shoot in Santa Barbara was so much fun… I had the honor of doing maternity photos for two of our good friends!  Sean and Jenny are expecting their first little bundle of joy in mid-May, and I was so excited to be able to document a little piece of Jenny’s pregnancy.

As many of you may already know, Jenny is well known in the wedding industry as the owner of the fabulous bridal store Little White Dress and Sean is a philanthropist who recently founded a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and finding a cure for Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy called Socks-On.  Anyone who has ever met this couple knows that they are two of the funniest and nicest people you will ever hang out with.

Sunday also happened to be my dad’s birthday, and since he shares my love of photography I asked him to accompany me on the shoot.  On the way home, he commented several times on what a great couple Sean and Jenny are, and I couldn’t agree more.  I know without a doubt that Baby Grayson will be welcomed with loving arms to these two great parents!  A big thank you goes out to Jenny and Sean for showing us such a good time, and another thank you to my dad for taking some time out of his birthday to come help me out on a shoot!
