Driving down to southern California to photograph weddings and engagement sessions is actually something I love, even more than flying down. Time in the car allows me to think, be quiet, pray, catch up on calls, listen to audio books, dream, get inspired, and breathe. I had come down to southern California to photograph Michael…
Richard and Clarissa’s early October wedding in Sacramento was charming and classic. I photographed their engagement session locally here in Jackson and found the both of them easy to photograph. Richard is an intelligent guy, quite fun to be around, with a great smile. Clarissa is just hilarious. Her no-nonsense confidence featured through her many…

I love all this pics, they look like a magazine pics. Great job, and clarissa you look hermosa.November 10, 2011 – 2:29 pm
My kids are cute.November 10, 2011 – 2:40 pm

I love all the pic, specially the one of my son dancing. He is so cute!! My favorite is of clarissa and rich in the dark!a great job.November 10, 2011 – 2:57 pm
Very lovely pictures. Very lovely bride–even if I do say so myself. Many unusual poses, but one of the most dramatic ones is of the Consecretion in front of the stained glass window. Very impressive photography!November 10, 2011 – 6:36 pm
Nanette and Mario,
Your daughter is gorgeous!!!!November 10, 2011 – 7:25 pm
I loved the photography. Clarissa is so beautiful …she looks a lot like you, Nan.November 10, 2011 – 7:45 pm
Clarissa looks beautiful. The pictures are “picture perfect”.November 11, 2011 – 7:20 am
Nice sampling of pictures that are creative and different. Besides the handsome couple, my favorite is of the proud papa hugging his daughter. You can just feel the love.November 11, 2011 – 6:49 pm
Great pictures. but….. even I could take great pictures with such a beautiful subject.November 11, 2011 – 8:17 pm
Charleton…You never cease to amaze me! When I first saw all these pictures, I was at a loss for words. You made my church look like the St. Pats Cathedral of New York!!! And my flower girls look like angels with the way you captured the lighting..And the moments you got, I didn’t even see you getting all these – you are a sneaky photographer 
But what this means to me is you have mastered your job at truly CAPTURING the moments, versus running them. Thanks, Rich and I are so glad we chose you as our photographer. We don’t like people to be jealous of us so I think we are just going to have to recommend you to every bride and groom we know..LOL. Thanks, can’t wait for all the rest of them.
Impatiently waiting,
ClarissaNovember 11, 2011 – 8:56 pm
We love all of them!!!!November 11, 2011 – 9:17 pm

Yosemite Ahwahnee Wedding with Austin and Alicia I just returned from Yosemite National park, and photographed a breathtaking wedding at the Ahwahnee (and it’s not because Yosemite is my favorite hiking and frequently visited destinations, nor is it that I’ve hiked half-dome almost thirty times). I do love Yosemite, but I really did enjoy my…
