Mariposa Vineyard

Another fabulous wedding with the awesome Krystal of Preciado Photography.

Weddings with Preciado Photography

I shot this beautiful wedding with Krystal Preciado. The ceremony took place at the famous Yosemite Chapel, with reception at the Tenaya Lodge.







The flower girl was just too cute for words.

Architectural Work

I was recently asked for samples of my architectural work, and realized I didn't have much! I am usually so focused on people, animals & landscapes that I often don't pay attention to the buildings around me. (Which is interesting since I was an architect major at one point in my college career!)

I've also been playing around with HDR as a fun way to give photos that "WOW" factor.

Helen & Matt

For Helen & Matt's wedding, I had the wonderful opportunity to second-shoot for Krystal Preciado of Preciado Photography. Carol of Bellissimo Brides performed her magic with Helen's hair & makeup, and Simply That! provided the gorgeous flowers.

Helen & Matt were married at the Ahwahnee hotel, in what I must say, was by far the BEST ceremony I have EVER attended. I was blown away by the songs and beautiful message they delivered. It was a very special moment and I feel honored to have been able to capture it. Thank you Helen & Matt, and thank you Krystal. :)

Michelle & George

Michelle & George were married along the bank of the Merced River in Yosemite Valley. Their love shines as bright as the sun that day! I'm so happy to have met them and wish them the best in the years to come. Bride's hair & makeup done by Bellissimo Brides.

Dawn & Bobby

I had so much fun with these two! Dawn & Bobby had a destination wedding earlier in the month, and returned to California for a fun little reception with the Groom's family. The party was held at the Yosemite Lakes Park Club House. The Bride's awesome hair & makeup is courtesy of Carol at Bellissimo Brides.

Bellissimo Brides

2009 has turned out to be a very busy year! I've been working with other local photographers to improve my style and learn some great lighting techniques. Over the next couple of weeks I'll be posting my favorite pictures from my recent shoots, so check back often!

This shoot took place in Fresno back in April. I had the pleasure of working with two great photographers: Patrick Pike & Tanya Dayton. Carol Cardinale-Ruiz of Bellissimo Brides created the amazing hair & makeup on our 3 beautiful models: Stephanie, Melanie & Ashley.

My Kiddos

These are some recent pictures of my beautiful girls... I feel so blessed to be their mom! :)

I had so much fun at Kristin & John's wedding here in Oakhurst. Their love flowed effortlessly through the lens of my camera. I thank them for giving me the opportunity to capture these wonderful moments on a day they will always remember with a smile on their face & love in their hearts. Congratulation to you both, and best wishes for a bright future together!

Wedding Photography

These are just a few of my favorite pictures from weddings I've done over the years.

In addition to weddings, I also offer engagement sessions at beautiful outdoor locations. If your wedding is located outside the Yosemite area, I am always open to travel! I can also provide photography services for other special events such as anniversary parties, family reunions, and birthday parties.
