Lodi Family Keeps Growing!

I love this family! It’s been great watching them grow over the years. I photographed Jasmine and Ross’ wedding back in 2006 and then I can remember when she called me wanting maternity photos. How fun to photograph both girls as newborns and toddlers. Now they are expecting a little boy!  Congratulations to Jasmine and Ross and thank you for choosing me as your…

Sara and Chris married at Oak Farm Vineyards!

I really enjoyed photographing Sara and Chris’ wedding at Oak Farm Vineyards! Super sweet families and friends in attendance and I think Sara was one of the mellowest brides I’ve ever photographed. Sara and Chris chose to do the ‘First Look’ and then take a majority of the family photos before the ceremony. They did their own flowers and favors and invitations, and brought…

Engaged! Michele and Greg Take it South of the Border with a Baja Engagement Session

I liked Michele and Greg from the get-go. They stepped into my studio as my clients and I felt as if they left as my friends. Always seeking adventure in their lives, they decided to trust my suggestion that they fly to Southern Baja for their engagement session.  I’ve been spending my winters about an hour north of Cabo since 1989 and I just…

Viaggio Wedding – Zillian!

Jillian and Zachary’s wedding at Viaggio was pretty much incredible!  The food, flowers, the band, the wine…all were just fantastic.  Jill’s mom and step-dad hired 2 stilters (8-feet tall) who came in full costume and threw flower petals as the couple exited their ceremony and climbed up the steps toward the mansion at Viaggio. They added another dimension to the day.   Here are some…

Viaggio Wedding! Lauren and David

I LOVE photographing weddings at Viaggio Winery (www.viaggiowinery.com)!  And Lauren and David’s wedding was just gorgeous! They chose to see each other before the ceremony, so we set up a nice shady place for their ‘first look’.  It was really neat to see David’s reaction to Lauren in her dress.  She was BEAUTIFUL!  Here are some of my favorite images of the day.  …
