Alegria and Duyet - The Wedding!

Last weekend I had my third day shooting Alegria and Duyet. Way back in May they met me in Yosemite for some beautiful engagement photos and earlier this month they had their traditional wedding ceremony. Knowing what a great couple they are, I have really been looking forward to this shoot. Their wedding was at the Oakland Rotounda which I can only describe as stunning. Many thanks to my assistant James who continues to provide great images. I just love the passion between them in this last shot!

Alegria and Duyet - The Ceremony!

A few months ago, Alegria and Duyet joined me up in Yosemite for an amazing engagement session so I knew that I was looking forward to their wedding. They had a traditional Vietnamese wedding ceremony with close friends and family, and it was simply stunning! I loved the rich colors and traditions of this day. Later on this month, they are having another ceremony and recption for friends and family that I again find myself looking forward to.

More Seniors!

Last weekend I had the chance to work with three wonderful seniors in Mariposa. We brought out all of the studio equipment and really had some fun - especially with the white background. Many of you know that I normally work on locations, so being inside for an entire shoot was a bit strange, but I love the photos!

Shannon and John - Engagement Photos

We were originally heading up to Yosemite Park to take engagement photos, but at the last minute decided to avoid the crowds and went to the Merced River instead. So imagine that you just arrive at a beautiful scenic river -- and your photographer makes you go straight into the storm drain. That's what happens when you ask your brother to shoot your engagement photos! After a while in the shade, we heading out to the heat of the day for a few more traditional engagement photos. Unfortunately, the heat of the day got to all of us a little too quickly, but since we were already at the river it was time for a swim. I was stoked to get them in the water and swim around. Suddenly they became a couple of playful lovebirds splashing around together - which made for some beautiful photos! Thanks again guys I had a blast and can't wait for the wedding!
