Melissa & Eric Wedding- at the Monte Verde Inn

Melissa and Eric had a wonderful wedding at the beautiful Monte Verde Inn in Foresthill, California. The location was perfect, and Melissa and Eric obviously love each other. The food at the Monte Verde Inn was fantastic as well. All in all, a fantastic day! And special thanks again to my assistant Tami, who did some of the photography as well.

Beth & Bret Engagement Session- Raley Field

OK, I've been busy!! Beth and Bret decided to have their engagement photos done at Raley Field, in West Sacramento. Bret is a big baseball fan, but Beth made the arrangements, and the people at Raley Field gave her special permission to do this. Note: normally I do more editing, but I wanted to show Beth and Bret a few more options. And, not to brag, but I think the song I picked is perfect! "Centerfield" by John Fogerty.

"Mazel Tov" to Karen & Jesse- great S.F. wedding

I LOVE my job- getting exposed to many different cultures, people, and weddings. Karen and Jesse got married at the Fairmont in San Francisco on July 5th, and had a wonderful wedding. There was a 2nd photographer, Rebecca Stark, who photographed the bride before the wedding, but I had fun with the guys, and then we worked together on the rest of the wedding. The band, with lead singer, Rick Ellis, was great.

Lincoln 4th of July Parade

For the 2nd year in a row, I photographed the Lincoln, CA 4th of July parade. It has that "Norman Rockwell" small town feeling, and this year the temps. were cooler than last year. See the show here or by clicking on the title. And congratulations to Makelle Alldredge, Miss Teen Placer County, shown here (OK, she's a friend of the family :)
