Jamie and Allen

When I was asked by my buddy Paul to help him out on this wedding, I couldn't pass up the chance to shoot another Assyrian wedding. The getting ready portion of the day was pretty standard until guests started showing up singing and dancing at the brides home.

Gorgeous bride.

I loved this moment when Jamie pinned the boutonniere on her father.

This guy was BOSS. His hat, his attitude, his cane.

The guys.

They had a pretty big bridal party.

My favorite shot of the day.

Jessy & Larry

What do you get when you combine Halo and Rock Band? The awesome combination of Jessy and Larry of course. I really enjoyed hanging out with them and capturing the silliness and love they share together.

We started our shoot in Walnut Creek for some portraits. Larry is great at making Jessy smile.

We then headed back to Dublin for some photos around their home. I love these wide open grassy fields.

Larry loves Halo and Jessy loves Rock Band.

I think Larry likes Star Wars too.

I loved this little container Jessy gave to Larry early on in their relationship. Inside was a tiny hand written note from Jessy to Larry, so sweet.

Thanks for the great time guys, looking forward to your wedding next month.

The Murata's

I was contacted by Tina a while back, and she was looking for a portrait session as a fathers day gift for her husband, Matt. I thought this was one of the sweetest gifts a wife/mother could give to her husband. They have an adorable 19 month old named Kieran, and two golden retrievers, Shirley and Tawny. I knew I had to incorporate the dogs for a shot.

This was one of my favorite shots from our session.
