Woodward Park Japanese Gardens

Vicki and Anthony had a very simple and elegant ceremony at the gardens on a Sunday afternoon at 2pm. It was warm for a September afternoon, but they were great sports as we made our way around the gardens for about an hour.

Vicki was a great bride and enjoyed playing with us at the end of the shoot. Such a great couple!

Yosemite Lakes Clubhouse Wedding

Christine & Isasias were so fun to be around all afternoon and it shows in their images.

Yosemite Lakes has a beautiful venue and arbor for an outdoor event. 

 The staff at the Restaurant and venue is so helpful and saw to every detail for my bride. Their bar is open to a beautiful deck overlooking the water, which guests found to be a lot of fun as the party really got started.

Call Cindy Lyman at 658 7466 for help with your event at Yosemite Lakes Clubhouse.

Like many of today's brides, Christine changed for her Reception after cutting the cake.

Christine was enamored with the geese and it was fun to watch her chase after them!

Despite the fact that we were outdoors, this fine couple did their rope, coins and unity candle, honoring their religion in a most contemporary way.

Copper River Country Club - June 2012

June was especially warm this year, but the breeze during the ceremony at Copper River on this day was heavenly! This Bride & Groom have found true love and have a true 8 is enough situation. The kids wore beautifully designed dresses and the men were well outfitted to match. The Bride & Groom's family were fun and out going all night!

Coming from behind Tennis courts to the outdoor ceremony location.

Copper River has such great sunset opportunities

Wonderful Arbor for Weddings

The Bride & Groom having fun with the "Act Bored" Image for teenagers. They did really really well....odd.

Love the Vineyard at Copper River Country Club

The Rainbow created by the kids really represented their family accurately.

Congratulations Miriam and Alfredo!

 

Visalia - St. Mary's & Visalia Convention Center - June 2012

The staff at St. Mary's in Visalia,Ca is beautiful and very timely. They enjoy the reputation of starting weddings on time and as a photographer, that's a wonderful thing, as long as the bride has time to get there! I enjoyed working with Vanessa and Carlos and their wedding party during this June wedding!

Hanford Wedding in August with Gaby & Freddy

A quiet moment of reflection before the big party later that evening!

The ladies were ready to have a good time!

Great big dance floor and they used it all!

Enjoying a light-hearted moment outside the reception hall together.

The Bands were wonderful

Hanford Civic Auditorium - August 2012

Enjoying a cool beverage in the 111 degree weather!

The Guys Like a more casual look at most weddings

It was a WARM (I'd say Hot, but I'm afraid that sounds like I'm complaining) on this wonderful Saturday in Hanford. Gaby was full of energy and Freddy was ready to dance to the multiple live bands who played at their reception. It was my first visit to the Hanford Civic Auditorium and I can't wait to go back, the architecture out front and inside could be a great back drop for a variety of other images.
