WEDDING: REBEKAH AND JOHN

Rebekah and John came to me a few months ago off a referral from my good friends Aaron and Marnie (Marnie is John's sister...thanks guys!), and one of the first things I found out was that John was a Fresno firefighter. Now, most people have jobs and some people like their jobs while other people don't like their jobs. The thing about John is that firefighting is who he is, and talking to someone with such passion about what they do is really inspiring. He's brought Rebekah into that world and they're both as passionate about it as any two people could be. Given I'm at a place where I absolutely LOVE what I do, I respect the hell out of people that feel the same and do what they love.

John was able to arrange for a historical firetruck to drive us around and take pictures for a little while between the ceremony and the reception, so we got some realllly cool shots with the truck and the bridal party, and a bunch more with just Rebekah and John. Many thanks to Rebekah and John for trusting me with your wedding photography; you guys have quickly become good friends of mine, and when I get back to Fresno next week we're getting beers at Grogg's. Enjoy!

HI REBEKAH

Since I know you're watching the blog all day, here's a little teaser for you. Full slideshow tonight, then Rebecca & Aaron on Wednesday, then engagements galore. Enjoy.

ALIVE

Here's a quick little update and my reasons for not blogging as much as I would like right now: Life is nuts right now, but in a good way. I'm officially in Southern California for one more week, then hellooooo Fresno! I just got a new computer and have been migrating data over for 3 days. And what really sucks, my internet was down for 4 days (and is still technically down; this is just a work around). Like my previous non-Batman post said, I have about 10 projects I gotta post (and that I'm really excited to post, so this is killing me), and I'll get to them as soon as my computer issues are finally resolved. To reward you for your patience, here are a couple portraits and a couple wedding shots from my lovely Rebecca (and Rebekah) brides. Be back soon with many updates...

Finn: Part 2


My good friend Natalie and her awesome bro Miguel. They're dancers (really good ones) and wanted some cool brother/sister portraits for their mom's birthday


Yet another sexy portrait of Rebecca & Aaron. That cool door frame thing was just hanging out by a bunch of trash, waiting to be photographed.


And lastly, a custom thank you image for Rebekah & John. You may not see it, but look a little closer.

REBECCA AND REBEKAH

So last weekend I had the pleasure of shooting my first double header, and both of the lovely brides were named Rebecca (and Rebekah). Below are a couple quick favs I pulled out of the bunch for now, but suffice it to say both slideshows will be pretty awesome.

And a big announcement is coming shortly!

ENGAGEMENTS: REBEKAH & JOHN

If you were to ask how excited I've been to post this engagement session, my answer would be "super mega [excited]". Ever since John came up with the idea to head to the old Downtown Fresno firehouse to do their engagements, I've been thinking of how I can combine the intensity of firefighting with the intimacy of an engagement session. Thankfully, both Rebekah and John were incredibly easy to work with and let me extrapolate my crazy ideas into something really cool. But I really must give credit where credit is due, and John was the one who had the idea for the shot of them two overlooking the city, which I think is one of my favorite engagement shots to date. So to Rebekah and John, I hope you guys had as much fun as I did, and thank you so much for trusting in me to photograph your big day. To everyone else, enjoy the show. It's a good one.













Look at those eyes!
