Wedding - Melissa and Cody

This beautiful bride is Melissa (Felix) Wilson. She was married to handsome Cody in Fresno, CA on June 6, 2008.

Prior to the ceremony the bridal party had fun in the sun at Woodward Park where they allowed me plenty of time to get the normal "formal" work out of the way, and then some great fun work. Janeen assisted by photographing the guys getting ready - tool belts, fedoras and all!
(Melissa did don a fedora during the reception to accomodate me for just a moment!)

As a wedding photographer and album designer, it is important to me to have plenty of time to capture all of the photographs I need/want for the couple. To do this, doing the bride and groom prior to the ceremony is a great asset. But - what about that special moment when the groom first sees his bride? We planned the "moment" in the cool shade under a redwood tree. I know Cody was not disappointed!

The ceremony was at People's Church Chapel with reception at Four Points Sheraton.

Melissa and Cody live in the Sacramento area.

Engaged - Calli Grover and Paul Erickson

If the wedding is as much fun as their engagement session, I believe I will be laughing all day!

Calli and Paul love to ride their bikes, so we did a little riding around Fig Garden for fun and then treked to downtown Fresno for an urban setting.

I only had to prompt Paul to kiss Calli once, and he took it from there!

Their wedding is set for August.

Jasmine and Glen - Wawona (Yosemite) Wedding

On May 23, 2008 Jasmine Dunning and Glen Ryerson were married at beautiful Wawona Lodge in Yosemite National Park. This gentle couple were joined by family and friends from across the U.S. for an intimate wedding. The weather was a little cool and sprinkled off and on so last minute wedding plans resulted in the ceremony being held on the veranda, overlooking the golf course. The quiet love this couple has for one another made the spectacular scenery pale by comparison. Jasmine and Glen...thank you for allowing me to be your photographer!
