This awesome couple is from St. Louis and flew out to sunny, errrrr, rainy California for their engagement session. Their wedding will be at Mulvaney’s in Sacramento (one of the coolest venues I’ve ever worked at) and I can’t wait. Even though we had to deal with the rain and the cold (yes, that happens in California) they were both awesome subjects for my cameras and they made it happen. It was cool riding in their car from one spot to the next and seeing a bunch of bridal magazines on the back seat. I know Charlayne and her planner (Sacramento Wedding Planner: Kendra Wershing) are going to come up with some radness for the wedding day.
So we photographed around downtown Stockton and then we headed out near my studio in Linden, CA. One of my goals this year is to show more of my black and white work. I love the feeling of it and there is something so “real” about a photograph when it is “colorless”. Anyhow, I hope you don’t mind seeing more black and whites this year. Enjoy.

I had the privilege to photograph a birthday celebration/hot air balloon ride for an awesome client in the Napa Valley a few months ago and thought I would share some of the photographs. The balloon ride in and of itself was epic. It was so quiet and peaceful floating above the vineyards of Napa and Sonoma wine country. It was surreal. We floated over some wineries, some large private residences and enjoyed one of the most amazing views of the Napa Valley that anyone could possibly experience. Here are some of the photographs I made. Enjoy.

My friends over at Wellspun Wedding Films in San Francisco put together the cutest wedding video and I wanted to make share it with you. I would totally love to photograph a “wedding” like this, I’m so jealous! Warning: cuteness overload!
