Melissa & Erik ~ Yosemite Ahwahnee Wedding Photography

Friday, February 5th, 2010 at 10:36pm - Weddings

Melissa and Erik had a gorgeous wedding at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite over New Year´s weekend.  It was an amazingly warm almost 50 degrees, unexpected for being in the middle of winter.  There was only a little bit of snow around, but there was a fair bit on the rim.  Melissa and Erik had around 50 of their closest friends and family travel and celebrate with them for their destination wedding.  Everyone was treated with a beautiful winter wedding Yosemite experience, magic as usual.

Melissa and Erik, thank you so much for having me to capture these beautiful moments and memories for you.  You can watch the slideshow by pressing play, and if you have any favorites please share.  Hope you love the photos!

Mimi and Chuck - El Portal Wedding Photography

Thursday, January 28th, 2010 at 4:16pm - Weddings

Mimi and Chuck had a glorious El Portal wedding with so many of their friends and family joining them to celebrate.  They are both good friends of mine, so this wedding was extra special.  Probably part of why it took me so long to edit, as each image had such an emotional value.  Mimi was probably around 7 months pregnant, so she had a radiant glow about her.  After the ceremony we wandered down by thew river, which has a special place in Mimi and Chuck´s life together.  Their home is right above the magical Merced River, and they both really enjoy spending time with it.

Mimi and Chuck, it was an honor to capture these wonderful moments and memories for you.  You can press play to watch the slideshow or you can watch it in its own window here.  I hope you love your images!!

Thuy and Derek had a gorgeous Yosemite wedding on a perfect October day.  Since amazing creative portraits were very important to them, they actually set aside over 2 hours to wander around Yosemite and get some incredible images (note to brides considering doing this, DO IT!!!).  We had so much fun, and ended up at Glacier Point for spectacular alpenglow on Half Dome, and the rising of the full moon.  So this will be a two part blog post.  First, here we have some of my favorites from wandering around Yosemite, I just couldn´t help but edit these gorgeous images first.  Later this week look for their whole wedding experience!!  Hope you´re having a wonderful day.

Bronwen and Brian had an absoluitely gorgeous wedding in the Santa Cruz mountains, on a perfect late summer afternoon.  Bronwen´s sister Lisa is a dear friend of mine and it was really fun to have some good friends at the wedding.  The property is a small organic farm and winery that was totally stunning that is owned by their friends Heidi and Sterling.  Heidi´s catering company catered the event with the best food you can imagine which was all local and organic.
