Gina & Kevin | Hawaiin Inspired Wedding

Gina and Kevin started their day greeting family and friends, making them feel at home.  They are such a fun, relaxed couple.  No fuss. Just pure graciousness.  It was evident how much their guests cared about them and their new life together.   

It was so wonderful that Gina's brother was ordained so that he could officiate the wedding.  That's what I call sibling love.  He did an amazing job.  He was able to sum up their relationship, love and future together so perfectly.  She could not have chosen any one better.


Gina and Kevin, your wedding was beautiful, intimate and perfect reflection of your personalities. Thank you for your kindness and allowing me to photograph your day. I wish you and your family much happiness.

Three very important people that helped make this day so fabulous...
- My second shooter Marta Estevez of Marta Marie Photography.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You're the best!
- Event planner, N'Gina Kavookjian executed Gina and Kevin's vision for their wedding beautifully.
- Jeff Oblinger, or "Chef Jeff" as he's called, made the food.  There are two words for everything he makes...  DEEE LISSHHH!  This is the second time I've been at an event where his dishes were featured.

Father's Day Photos!

Here's a couple of great kids that I got to photograph a couple weeks ago. Their Mom wanted some photos taken as a Father's Day gift for her husband. Of course the pooch insisted on being part of the shoot. They are so photogenic - the pup was a bit of a diva, but I succeeded in capturing a couple good shots of her!

Baby C turns 1!

I can't believe this baby girl is already a year old. I had the pleasure of photographing her newborn photos and was so excited that I got to photograph her again for her one year photos. She is such a sweetie! Thanks baby C for bringing your Mommy and big brother and sister along.

Sacramento Engagement:: Gina and Kevin

The internet can be full of surprises. Gina and Kevin are two terrific people that found each other on the sometimes crazy internet super highway. They corresponded for a while over email, and their second phone call lasted approximately four hours. You know a guy is smitten when he converses with you on the phone for that long.

Their first date included tasty Italian food and great conversation. Gina is a gorgeous, classy lady that Kevin couldn't resist. Kevin is kind and loving, and really knows a good thing when he's got it. It didn't take long for him to realize that Gina was his one and only. Kevin has two kids and they couldn't agree more. They will be getting hitched this June, and Kevin's son will be his best man and his daughter will be Gina's maid of honor. What a wonderful way for this family to celebrate their future.

So, this was not only an engagement session, but it just felt right to photograph all four of them. I had such a great day with them and can't wait to photograph their wedding.

Isn't this girl adorable? I love her necklace. She made it from a bottle cap and the cool silver chain.

Sweetness...Adoring eyes...
I love this one
