Photography has taken me many places and has opened my eyes to an entirely new world of beauty, not only in physical locations but the love and respect between two people. Ashley and Jeremy is exactly that kind of couple.

We took a nice little drive all the way through Sequoia National Park from Exeter around to Sanger. Needless to say we didn’t get to the location we wanted to shoot at until the sun was already down, but we made the best of it and still had an awesome experience!

Their wedding is just around the corner so you will see more of them soon!

Exeter is full of these awesome murals all over town.  Be sure to stop by and check it out if you’re in the area!

Last but not least, we got a few shots in Sequoia National Park.

It didn’t take long for Nicole and Nate to appear back on the blog after their engagement shoot a few weeks back at Fresno State.  They had their wedding at a private residence in outskirts of Clovis, CA last Saturday and it could not have turned out any better.  In between foggy days and a recent storm we got plenty of sunshine and an amazing sunset… thank you photo gods!  Here’s a few of my favorite images of the day for you to enjoy.

i see rain in the forecast | kandace : freddy

November 8th, 2009

You know you have some amazing clients when they ask if you have any ideas for their engagement shoot and i mention something like this… how about we head up to the foothills in 50 degree weather, you both get all dressed up and go makeout in the rain!  Their answer… let’s do it!  Ahh, [...]
 

You know you have some amazing clients when they ask if you have any ideas for their engagement shoot and i mention something like this… how about we head up to the foothills in 50 degree weather, you both get all dressed up and go makeout in the rain!  Their answer… let’s do it!  Ahh, they sure know how to get to my heart :)

Well, if you were in Fresno over the weekend both you and I know there wasn’t any type rain scheduled in the forecast so we had to improvise a little and play rain god ourselves with this little thing we call a garden hose.  I got some inspiration from a blog post i read awhile back from Atlanta editorial photographer Zack Arias.  If your a photographer and you haven’t heard of Zack, you should definately go check out his blog in the near future for some great stuff on life and of course photography.

You may remember these two from a post i did nearly a year ago with their dog Bentley.  No dogs on this photo adventure, but we had such a great time capturing these images and i am more than happy to share with you all.  Please enjoy.
