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!!!

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!

Turlock Wedding Photographer

Turlock Wedding Photographer | Pageo Lavender Farm

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!

Daisy and Jeff’s home church, the beautiful St. Patrick’s Church in Merced, California was the setting for their wedding ceremony, surrounded by friends and family, it was the perfect venue for their wedding day.  After the ceremony we braved the heat (all part of a summer wedding) and headed to Applegate park for the wedding party formals before retreating to the nearby Elk’s Lodge for the reception.  Filled with beautiful decor and the friendly laughter of loved ones Daisy and Jeff were able to celebrate with their families before heading off for the honeymoon.  It was an honor having the opportunity to share in their big day and create the images that will be cherished for a lifetime.  Congratulations, Daisy and Jeff!

Happily Ever After…Lacey + Michael Modesto Wedding Photographer

Modesto Wedding Photographer

Lacey gets what she wants.  Don’t believe me?  Just ask her new groom Michael.  Mike caught Lacey’s eye as the slightly older guy working at the lumber yard as she would walk home from school.  The age difference didn’t deter Lacey however as she patiently stocked her prey and eventually won the heart of her husband-to-be.  If you spend any amount of time with Lacey and Mike you quickly see how much love and respect they have for each other, the foundation of any successful marriage.

It was a pleasure getting to share in Michael and Lacey’s big day and having the opportunity to capture the smiles, laughter, hugs and tears as their two lives became one.  It was also great to meet and hang out with their friends and family who were welcoming and all around wonderful to work with.  Congratulations, Lacey and Mike!

Monterey Wedding Photography

Monterey Wedding Photography by Edward Mendes

It’s been amazing getting to know Stephanie and Chris since day one. I’m very lucky to have worked with so many wonderful clients over the years and these two certainly rate right up there with the best. Since they stopped by for the initial consultation they’ve been excited, friendly and a ton of fun.

Chris and Stephanie had a beautiful beach front wedding at the lovely Monterey Beach Resort in Monterey, California. The California coast, and this part of it specifically, is one of my favorite places in the world to both work and play so getting to photograph the wedding there was great.  Monterey Wedding Photography…not a bad job!

Chris is a big football fan and wanted to incorporate his passion for the game into the images we created with the guys. I can’t think of a better way to do that then a little football game on the beach before the ceremony just to keep things loose. As Chris tossed a couple touchdowns, Stephanie was looking stunning as she had her hair and makeup done with her bridesmaids.

Surrounded by friends and family, their day was stunning! Filled with love and laughter it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to share in the event and create the memories of their wedding day. Congratulations, Stephanie and Chris!

Taylor and Tommy tied the knot in a lovely ceremony at St. Stephen church in Sacramento before heading back to Reno and start their lives together.   I had photographed Taylor’s sister a few months before for her senior portraits so it was great getting the opportunity to photograph Taylor’s big day as well.  Tommy and Taylor are an awesome couple and we enjoyed meeting the rest of their family and friends where creating the stunning images of their wedding day.

Happily Ever After – Christine and Christian

Modesto Wedding Photography

Christine and Christian we’re married on January 4th in a beautiful ceremony at Christine’s church in Ripon, California (a beautiful place for a wedding).  Christine and Christian decided to have a “first look” prior to the actual wedding ceremony and did something pretty cool to commemorate the first time they saw each other, they wrote they’re own vows and exchanged them right there in front of their family, a mini ceremony before the main event.  For the formal wedding portraits we had a chance to use a family friends walnut orchard and the awesome old barn next to it. We had a wonderful time meeting all of Christine and Christian’s friends and family while creating the beautiful images of their wedding day.  The happy couple is back from their Hawaiian honeymoon and jumped right back into finishing their degrees. Here’s a preview of some the images from the wedding of Christian and Christine Smith.  Enjoy!
