Erica & Gabriel

Lake Tahoe is a premier destination wedding site. The Edgewood at Lake Tahoe is one of those premier sites and home to have your wedding. Here's a wedding that my assistant Zak and I shot at the wonderful location. Congrats Erica & Gabriel!

Abby & George Revisited

Genoa NV is a quiet little town that sits on the Northeastern side of the Sierra Nevada's. Abby & George had a great engagement session at Lake Tahoe and a wonderful wedding in Genoa. I posted a shot before on m blog from their day, but here's a little slideshow for you.

Amnda & Brad

Back in June, I had the pleasure of shooting a real fun wedding in Vegas with some great people. Here's a little slideshow from their day in swanky Vegas!

Abby & George



Last weekend I had the pleasure of shooting at a beautiful location in Genoa, NV. The Orchard House is a wonderful venue for weddings and events. It's nestled in the the Northeastern Sierra Nevada's just south of Carson City. We almost had a situation on our hands as the rain settled in right after the ceremony, but the weather cleared and set us up for great photos. They say that rain is good luck on a wedding day and I feel the Abby and George will have the best of times!

The Countdown Begins.

Another child on the way. I cannot describe this feeling in words to anyone that doesn't have kids and for those of you that do already know...all I can say is it really is wonderful! There's a a huge mix of feelings & emotions to see your wife become a beautiful mother. Also, the fact that you're going to be bringing a child into this world. We're super happy about what's to come & wouldn't have it any other way.

Summer IS here!

Summer is finally here in Lake Tahoe! There's nothing better than to kick it off with a photo shoot with beautiful models. With the help of my trusty assistant Zak Shelhamer, we were able to get these wonderful shots of Melody & Lindsey all in natural light and a simple reflector. The great thing about this shoot was that we packed a bag full of lighting, but never broke it out. Zak and I were forcing ourselves to see the light and use simple tools. I feel the look is genuine and fresh which got me away from trying to overpower the situation with watt seconds. This whole set was shot with the Canon 50 1.4 and Canon 70-200 2.8 IS lens on a Canon Mark II. Comments, critiques & advice welcome.
