amy + tommy : 2009.5.23

“Hell yeah! I read your blog.”
That was Tommy’s reaction when I asked him if he would take a picture in the laundry room of the hotel where he was staying.
We took the majority of the photos at a Japanese restaurant in Central Valley. What a great idea. Not mine, Amy and Tommy thought it would be cool and it totally was. I loved all the little Asian style houses and sculptures. We finished the park photos on the golf course and a stone building next door to the Inn at Central Valley, where they had their reception.

They were truly great sports and up for anything. I think it paid off, what about you guys?
Well, off to wedding number three!

Slide show music is there first dance song – tangled up in you by staind

jennifer + jerry : 2009.5.22

Jenn and Jerry kicked ass today. They were such great sports and the bridal party was so much fun to work with.
I dont think jerry had any idea what to expect when I told him I dont do it the like everyone else. But he adapted rather quickly!
By the end of the day he was coming up with ideas!

This is the first of three this weekend so stay tuned.

jessica + emilio : 2009.5.15

This is a quote from the email I just received from Jessica.
“you are insanely talented. Thank you for a beautiful experience, our day felt effortless but your work shows all your labor…
…Thank You”
It was effortless, we had the best day of the weekend they were so easy to work with.
For this post I will let the pictures speak for themselves.
But, I will say this, The Pleasantdale Chateau is a photographers dream, mix that with a bride and groom like Jessica and Emilio and the photos create themselves!

Enjoy.
edited to add – the music for the slide show was Jessica’s suggestion and its perfect. I cant believe I didn’t think of ever using David Grey!!
…this is always an option for you upcoming brides. If you have music you would like me to use don’t be shy.

Check it out.

I happened to stop by my friend Dave’s [moving pictures] office yesterday and got a sneak peak at a video he was finishing. We shot this wedding together in a torrential downpour. This house was extremely challenging because of the lack of daylight. Dave has this amazing soft box (that you can see in one of the clips) that really brought this gloomy morning back to life.
Oh and the fact that Christina is insanely hot helped!!


He posted it to his website, but I swiped the code so I could have it on mine.
Enjoy this, its a true testament to how well we work together.



Here is the slide show recap I showed at there wedding in August 2008.
