Tommy and Hope | 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!

Modesto senior photography

Modesto Senior Photography

Jessica will be graduating from Grace Davis High in nearby Modesto this June and came by the studio for her senior pictures just before Christmas.  In addition is being a lovely young lady, Jessica is also a very talented soccer player, something we made sure to incorporate into her session.  Jessica wanted to do something outdoors so we headed to the foothills for the beautiful views and stunning light…neither of which disappointed.  Here are a few images from Jessica’s senior portrait session, enjoy!

Modesto Family Portraits

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

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

Turlock Wedding Photography by Edward Mendes

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

Fall Portraits Children - Modesto, Turlock, Ceres, Oakdale, Riverbank, Central Valley, California

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!
