Kimberly & Dave :: Engaged :: 05.31.10

I was so happy I could get this session scheduled! With conflicting work schedules and the CRAZY weather we have been having, I thought we would never get to get outside and have this great shoot. Luckily we all were free on Memorial Day and the weather was PERFECT! The Jack London State Historical Park was a hiking favorite for the bride to be and served as such a wonderful place to get outside, have some fun and take some engagement pictures!

Kimberly and Dave are so pleasant to be around and they are so sweet on each other. This wasnt exactly Daves favorite thing in the world to do, but we pulled some fun out of him and he did great. Not only shining in front of the camera but he made his bride to be VERY happy and their great relationship showed though and made the images wonderful. Thank you goys so much for having me capture your relationship. I cant wait for the wedding, we are going to have a blast! Please enjoy the images.

Stacy & Jason :: Engaged :: 05.22.10

I have known Stacy, the bride for about 14 years now, so when she came to me to be her wedding photographer I was super excited! Stacy and Jason are an amazingly fun couple with great personalities and they are just such a joy to be around. The theme for their upcoming, backyard wedding is peacock feathers, so we incorporated those into a few of the shots we did around Folsom. Enjoy the images

Jana & Dave :: Engaged :: 05.08.10

I was super excited to do this shoot and I am even more excited to share it. Jana and Dave have a connection that you cant pose, or set up or try to fake. All I had to do was just tell them where to stand and they pretty much did the rest! You can tell how much they love each other and how excited they are to just be around each other! The location wasn't to bad either! Quarry Hill Botanical Gardens were the perfect, beautiful location to help us showcase this amazing couple!!

Enjoy!

Erica & Dave :: Engaged :: 05.03.10

I met Erica and Dave at a wedding back in January. Erica caught the bouquet and asked me to take a picture of her and her fiance, so of course I obliged. We got to talking about their upcoming wedding and I found out it was going to be in Maui this May! They had already been in talks with a photographer there but I guess my images convinced them to go with me! So here we are, getting ready to fly out to the islands and we did a great engagement session on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. The connection with these two is just wonderful, and pure. I had such a great time spending time with them during this session! I cant wait to shoot this wedding in Hawai'i!

Enjoy the images!

Kimberly & Fred :: Engaged :: 04.18.10

This was my second engagement session of the day and I was super excited to get to work when I arrived at the location for the shoot. Stoke Ranch was our backdrop for our time together and it was rich in history and memorabilia from the golden age of the automobile! A perfect place for this couples engagement portraits. A tiny church, old cars, a fire truck, and an original Signal filling station were among the "props" that represented the lifestyle Kim and Fred live. The connection that I got to experience with these two was amazing! They are loving life and each other and I hope my images help portray that to their family and friends! Enjoy!

Rachel & Themis :: Engaged :: 04.18.10

When Rachel suggested this location to me, I didnt know what to expect. I had never been there or heard anything about it. When I got to Redwoods Regional Park in Oakland I was super excited for the shoot. Amazing trees!!! This was so different from a lot of my recent shoots so I was tapping into some unused poses and new lighting to see what I can come up with!

Rachel and Themis have a great connection and we had a LOT of fun during the shoot. Their personalities and the location has made this an amazing session, and Im so excited to share it!
