Corbin Cortez

While I was out in Modesto, I met up with Alex, Savannah, and Corbin for burritos. Corbin is getting super cute. Here is a few shots:

Cool shades!

Lloyd and Archana Miller

I shot Lloyd and Archana's wedding today at the courthouse in Modesto. It was the shortest wedding that I have ever been to (the ceremony was about 3 minutes), but it was really sweet. We went to a park down the street after the ceremony and did family portraits. You can see more photos in their SLIDESHOW. 

I got a call on Tuesday this week about shooting this wedding today (Friday), and it ended up working out for me to make it. It was a really nice day :)

The ceremony was cool. It was simple, but no less powerful than a longer ceremony. The officiant cut straight to the chase- Lloyd, do you take Archana... I do. Archana, do you take Lloyd... I do. By the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride. 










One of the cool things about smaller weddings, is that it's easy to get a photo with everyone in it.


I think this one is cute. It was super bright out, so he was shielding her from the sun :)








Thanks for all of the smiles!

Mike and Katie Voight

I had the pleasure of shooting Mike and Katie's wedding in Modesto this weekend. It was a great time, and the shots came out sweet. You can see more photos in the SLIDESHOW.

The light was perfect before the ceremony for these bridal party shots. 




This is Jeremiah and Gigi Boek. They are missionaries in Japan, and they helped organize me to be there. It was great to meek them to because we had spoken on the phone and through emails for a while before the wedding. 
Mike's dad is a pastor, and he officiated the ceremony.


This was pretty funny. Katie's dress got tangled on something that were on the stage, and her maid of honor had to untangle it during the ceremony. Everyone got a quick chuckle, but it didn't take away from the ceremony. 




There are some cool fall colors in the background of these shots that I really like. 
I stayed with Alex, Savannah and Corbin in Modesto.

Katie's brother was getting emotional during his speech at the reception. It was one of those moments where even I start getting choked up too.

You might remember seeing these cute kids wedding photos this summer. After the wedding, Alex and Savannah had a get together at their house and Lea gave me a hair cut. I had needed it really bad--I was getting super shaggy! It is my favorite cut that I've had in a long time :)
For her bouquet toss, Katie had a handful of roses that all separated so all of the girls cought something. Clever, right?
I love Casey and Hope!

It was a great wedding.  I had a really good time :)
