More of my first wedding...

I just got back from a much needed vacation and I'm back to work on the wedding pictures. I'm just about done so I couldn't help but want to post a few more. I hope the bride doesn't mind, she just makes such a beautiful subject!

My First Wedding!!

Many of you knew I had my first wedding shoot on April 19th. This has been very stressful to look forward to, but it ended up being such a fun and amazing experience. My photography pal Guy joined me as my 2nd shooter at the wedding and we were high-fiving all day. We really had a blast. I thought I'd give you all a sneek peek at a few of the pre-wedding shots I got. I don't want to reveal too much before the bride gets to see them. These are just a few of my early favorites...

The bride's dress was the most beautiful RED dress!!



The Bridesmaids...

How lovely...

I need to finish editing 500 some images and get them to the bride before I can post anymore, but I was too excited to wait ....

The Meadow

Love me some lense flair!

A family reunites from all over the world...

I had a chance to shoot this wonderful family who came from all over the world to be together. Some came from Belgium, others England and all emerged here in Rocklin to capture this event. Luckily, my hand was pretty steady that evening. The lighting was not ideal so I was shooting at 1/40 sec. at f4.5 most of the time. This was a beautiful family to interact with.
