Ashley and Todd are a super fun couple, and I hope I did an adequate job of representing their chemistry and fun-loving personalities in their engagement session photos! One thing I love about them is that they made me feel comfortable shooting any idea that popped into my head, and they were stoked on the fun and unusual photos.. pretty much my ideal situation. Kind of funny that usually it’s my job to make my clients confortable, but I think they did that for me more than I for them. Thanks for jumping, goofing around, being in love, and being you!






WARNING: Mom Shot AHEAD!!!

Check out Todd putting the moves on his lady:

The sun was shining brightly on Christine and Roger as they wed in Monterey, CA at the Monterey Plaza Hotel.   The weather was gorgeous, and that was a fortunate gift! Christine was also gorgeous, but I totally expected that. The girls at Oya Inc in Monterey did a fantastic job of accentuating her beauty, and her smile would light up the room every time.  Roger and the guys got ready at a separate hotel,  and he was looking very dapper himself, although he wouldn’t tell you so.  Roger is that rare guy who is modest yet confident,  charming but not overbearing, and Christine is his perfect match.  Their ceremony on the balcony of the Monterey Plaza Hotel was overlooking the Pacific Ocean, and these two have a special love for water, so it doesn’t get any better that this!  As the evening sun cast a golden glow, we headed down to the cliffs where Roger asked Christine to be his wife, and got some meaningful and romantic photos.  Jessica and I had such a great time shooting this wedding!  Roger and Christine are off to their next adventure in Korea, which is where Roger will be stationed for the next two years.  Looking forward to the post cards =)








Roger sent this letter to his bride to be moments before the ceremony… cute!

The Monterey Plaza Hotel’s Patio overlooking the Ocean.. awesomeness!



I love this shot that Jessica took… It was fun having her as my second shooter for this Monterey Wedding!






Thank you so much for including me in a memorable day of your life, and I wish you many more!

I met the fun and carefree bride to be Kryssi while attending the Plan Green event at the UC Davis campus. . She helped facilitate the event, and she was one of the first people to come up and talk to me while I was setting up my booth.  I was so excited to hear from her soon after about taking wedding photos for her and Jim! She’s the kind of woman who makes people around her smile,  and Jim snatched her up! Smart move Jim =)  Even though Kryssi works super close the the UC Davis Arboretum,  she wanted to get some different textures for her engagement session. We had a great time cruising around Old Sacramento and basking in the warm afternoon sunlight, surrounded by 100 year old brick buildings.  Check out some of my favorites from the day!

Love the pockets on this bag!



I just knew that Christine and Jim would be awesome, and they were… thanks for being so patient and fun, and I’ll see you in Tahoe in 31 days!

Jackie and Andy are Engaged!

January 29, 2010

We kept waiting for the perfect day for our photoshoot… and it came.. on a random  Tuesday months ago.  We missed it, and I swear it’s been raining since then. Well Jackie and Andy said to heck with it, lets make lemonade out of lemons, and do our shoot in the rain! Well not entirely in the rain, but it was rainy=)  We walked around Old Sacramento and found some awesome directional lighting to put this fun loving couple into… Even though they’re both two big kids at heart, they turned up the heat a couple of times, and nearly dried me off from the hotness!!

Thanks for being so much fun, walking in uncomfortable shoes on cobblestone streets,  trespassing, and for not making fun of me when I got that parking ticket… hey it’s good luck right?

Much<3,

Dave
