Modesto Wedding Photographer
Being a wedding photographer allows me to see a lot of happy couples enjoying the what may be the happiest day of their lives. With Ricardo and Zoraida however I have the feeling that their wedding was only the start of what will be a life long love story. Zoraida and Ricardo were married in front of their friends and family in a beautiful church ceremony at St. Stanislaus before enjoying their reception at The Century, a wonderful venue in Modesto, CA. It was a perfect day made all the more so by the tremendous outpouring of love by friends and family for the couple and it’s easy to see why. Zoraida and Ricardo are a wonderful couple filled with smiles and tenderness for each other and I’m honored to have had the opportunity to capture the memories of their wedding day.
Congratulations Zoraida and Ricardo!!!

Modesto Engagement Photographer
Ashleigh and Cody are a fun couple so I was really looking forward to their engagement session. They’ve recently moved back to the valley after spending some time in one of my favorite places in the world, Yosemite! Just as I had hoped I had a great time working with them at one of my local locations. We were greeted by overcast conditions which made for nice even light. Cody and Ashleigh will be getting married this spring at the the always lovely Vintage Gardens in Modesto. I can’t wait to create the images of their big day!
Here are a few images from the session…

Napa Wedding Photographer
My brother met Hope, the girl of his dreams, in 2014 and they quickly hit-it-off. Fast forward about a year and a half and I have the wonderful fortune to photograph them tying the knot. They were married in a small but wonderful ceremony surrounded by friends and family near Napa California. The wedding and reception took place on the property of a close friend, it was a beautiful secluded wooded area bordered by charming small wineries and vineyards, which were ideal for the formals and perfect for the style of wedding Hope had envisioned. It was a wonderful day seeing Tommy marry his best friend and I’m excited for them both. Congratulations!

Turlock Wedding Photographer
I had the good fortune to photograph the beautiful wedding of Arielle and Jack DeLiddo recently at the always lovely Pageo Lavender Farm in Turlock, California. The day was perfect, the bride was stunning, the groom was dashing, weather wonderful, decor was spot on, food was great and everyone had a splendid time; you can’t ask for anything more that that! Arielle and Jack are such a wonderful, fun and loving couple and after spending the day with their friends and family it’s easy to see where they get it from. I was thrilled to share Jack and Arielle’s big day with them and create the images they’ll cherish for the rest of their lives. After the wedding the happy couple were off to the happiest place on earth. OH, Boy! Congratulations, Mr. & Mrs. DeLiddo!

Modesto senior photographer
It’s senior portrait season for the class of 2016 and for a Modesto senior photographer like myself that means getting to work with some great clients. Speaking of which Courtney came by recently for her senior session. We headed out to one of my more popular locations and were greeted by some amazing light. I had a great time working with Courtney and her mom Peggy while creating some stellar images, here’s a few of my favorites from her outdoor session.

Modesto Family Portraits
I don’t think anything quite transforms a house into a home like having portraits of your family hanging on it’s walls. Beautiful family portraits bring a smile to your face when you enter a room, it’s one of the many reasons I take so much time creating the perfect portrait for each of the family’s I have the chance to work with. Juleana and her sons, Jared, Justin and Jack came out with me to one of my favorite foothill spots for their family session a couple weeks ago. Jared came in for his senior portraits a couple weeks before and this family session was a great opportunity to create accent images of his brothers along with a main portrait for their home. The Rice’s are so great to work with, fun, easy going and photogenic (that’s always a plus)!
One storm had just moved through the area and another was on it’s way in as we prepared for the session. As luck would have it we timed things perfectly and we’re rewarded by some amazing clouds and a perfect sunset. Here are a few of the images from their session, enjoy!

Modesto senior photography
Senior portraits here in the Modesto area has been in full swing for a while and Xavier came in for his a few weeks ago. We started inside making some great studio images before heading downtown for the outdoor images. Downtown Modesto with it’s cool alleyways, colorful walls, staircases and more make for awesome image…if you know where to look. Luckily I know all the great spots. It’s also a nice alternative to the big beautiful landscape locations I’m known for. Xavier is a wonderful guy, cool to hang out with and did a great job during the session. He’ll be graduating this June and moving on to great things in college. Here are a few images from Xavier’s session.

Happily Ever After…Leslie + Michael’s Wedding Day
This happy couple is Leslie and Michael Rodriguez. I had the honor of creating the images of their wonderful wedding day a few months ago and what a day it was! The church ceremony took place nearby in downtown Turlock at Sacred Heart Church with it’s unique and lovely alter before heading to the reception at the always wonderful Turlock country club. Leslie and Michael are perfect for one another, a smile never leaves either of their faces when their together. It was a pleasure having the opportunity to share Leslie and Michael’s wedding day and getting to meet their friends and family, a wonderful day. Congratulations Leslie and Michael! Here is a sneak peak at their wedding day, I hope you enjoy!

Fall Portraits with Stella
This little bundle of giggles is Stella, adorable right? I know. If you ever find yourself in a cute contest with a 6 month old (I’m not sure why you would) you better hope it’s not this one because you’re going to lose. Fall leaves are covering the yard here at the studio and Stella is finally sitting up by herself so it was the perfect time for some awesome fall portraits. Fall portraits are always a lot of fun with kids because they love to play in the leaves and and the warm shades of red and yellow really pop making portraits eye catching. Plus, with the cooler weather we get to break out the cozy sweaters, scarfs, caps and all the other stuff that add texture and interest to portraits. Fall portraits are some of my favorites! We also did a few images in the studio a few weeks earlier and I’ve included a couple of those here for your enjoyment as well. Enjoy!
