Honored to have photographed Real Weddings Magazine Front Cover

I’m honored to share the cover of the recent issue of the Real Weddings magazine Summer/Fall 2013.  A big thanks to all those involved to help make this shoot successful, as it was a team effort.  I had been asked to shoot the cover last year and was excited to scope out the venue, The Three Stages at Folsom Lake College, Harris Center for the Arts, with the lovely Wendy Sipple, the editor of the magazine prior to committing.  What’s encouraging is that we photographed three real brides (not models) who had been selected during the bridal magazine cover contest.  One of three brides who had been selected for the three girl cover is actually one of my 2013 wedding brides, Angel Kang.  All three girls were pleasant, even since much was expected of them in such little time.  If you look inside the magazine, there are many other photographs from that bridal shoot, which I can’t wait to share as well!

A big thanks to the whole team of people who were involved in the shoot, which are listed below, and of course, Wendy Sipple and her hard working team!

We were featured in Bridal Couture Magazine!

I just picked up the recent issue of Bridal Couture Magazine, and I’m excited to share with you they featured a wedding we photographed (Randy and Lisa’s rustic wedding), which is also viewable on the magazine’s website wedding blog.  Not only did they showcase some of Randy and Lisa’s special day in six full pages, but they placed my creative image on a full spread.  They also featured Blake and Melissa’s engagement session I captured at Folsom Lake! The images look great in print, so go and pick up an issue.

Best of 2012 wedding photography, some random favorites

I photographed quite a few weddings this 2012 year from all over California to out of state.  Last year in 2011, I photographed forty weddings and quite a few engagement sessions, many out of state (New York, Colorado, Missouri, Texas, Washington, and a few others). This 2012 year I set a cap at thirty weddings, and I ended up going a little over with a few smaller weddings, plus I was more than happy to return to Colorado for another wedding.  I’m hoping to blog more weddings from this year and even last year.  It was my desire to post so many images on today’s blog, much more than what shared below, much more.  Here are some of the images from this 2012 year that I have posted, blogged, and enjoyed.

On top of that, they also featured one of the weddings we photographed: Joel and Jessica’s wedding (which I will post shortly).  Go and pick up the latest issue!
