AWESOME!! This weekend was absolutely awesome! I had the honor of capturing the wedding of Mr & Mrs Wes & Katie Scoville, and it was SO MUCH FUN!! There was beauty all around from start to finish, and everyone was so great to work with! I was also able to work with the wonderful Tana Huffman again, which was so great! Tana, thanks again for everything, it was a blast to work with you again - and mahalo for the Dew, sooo good! And thanks to Scott (my BiL), Brynne & Caleb for letting me crash at their place. Their family pictures will be up shortly...

Katie & Wes have such an amazing love and understanding of each other, and it radiated from both of them all day! The church, Fremont Presbyterian Church, was absolutely GORGEOUS! Everything from the day was perfect, beautiful & wonderful people, amazing details, and so much fun! Thanks you both for allowing me to be there - it was an honor!

Katie & Ashley started the day at 9am at the Expressions Salon in Elk Grove




Katie's hair (as did all the girls) looked perfect!!


Then it was off to the future in-law's BEAUTIFUL house to get ready - so great!!


Beautiful makeup by Camarillo Salon & Day Spa in Elk Grove


These awesome engagement photo's were courtesy of Jeff Youngren Photography...


Love the shoe shot...


2 dress shots here, I love them both!




This one makes me laugh, Wes' brother helping Katie's twin, Alex get the tie on

Beautiful church outside & in!


These next three are some of my absolute favorites! Wes & Katie did a first look which was so great!! We put on the telephoto and just hung back and let them be...






Look at that smile!


Me: "Just head on over there and just love on each other"
Them: "ooookay" (said with huge smiles)


I think this is my favorite of the day, just love the lines and their look, love, peace and excitement... they rule!


Ladies, you were a blast!


Beautiful!!


Love the two palm tree's in the background :)


This was pretty awesome, Wes' Mom & Dad did this great shot when they got married, which was later recreated with Wes' brother Scott...


So naturally, we recreated it as well


Her first look at the church all set up


And Wes just happen to be in there around that time - have I mentioned I love balconies :)




Such a beautiful church!




Hello Mr & Mrs Wes & Katie Scoville!!


More to come, but I wanted to get these first initial ones up. Thank you to the whole Storm-Scoville families for all your love and support, you did a wonderful job raising amazing Sons & Daughters! Thanks again Wes & Katie and CONGRATULATIONS!!

PS: Danielle & Grant

This last Saturday, December 29th, was a pretty special day for me. I had the privilege of shooting my brother in law's wedding. Don't get me wrong, it was an honor to be able to capture another beautiful PS: Bride in Danielle, who is a wonderful woman and it has been a great pleasure for us to get to know her better. but I've known the Groom for a while now.

I've known Grant going on 13 years now, since he was about up to my sternum... fast forward to now, and he's returned the favor, I'm about up to his sternum :D Slight exaggeration, but not by much. Not only have I been able to witness Grant getting taller, but I've also been able to witness Grant growing up to be a fine young man as well. He comes from an amazing family, all of whom I love (especially his sister, or my wife)... and it was a day after Scott & Brynne's 5 year anniversary (my other bro-in-law, or BiL as I just now made up) and Marty & Diane's 37th anniversary (my FiL & MiL), and a whole lot of our extended family were there too! It really was an amazing and fun day, and I was an honored that I could do this for them.

I had some wonderful help, Tana Huffman of Tana Huffman Photography came down to help me capture this wonderful day, and I am so thankful for Tana and her wonderful eye!

I'll post a few favorites, but the rest will be in the slideshow and of course, feel free to go to the Pictage event #410655 (or click HERE to sign up when the pictures are released). And be sure to check out the slideshow that Ron Burt created (Danielle's BiL), you might notice some shots from their engagement sessions, and an awesome one that Ron created to look 3D, very cool! Click HERE for that slideshow... great job Ron, and ditto with the mini-van ;) Last and certainly not least, Danielle's wonderful hair was done by Dominique O'Brien from Adora Bella, she did a wonderful job!

My favorites...

A tribute to American Gothic, and Jeff Newsom, and if you don't know who Jeff is, check out his work, AMAZING! He's located on the central coast, and I actually had the honor of meeting him once at our friend Kris' wedding. Great guy and an amazing artist, truly inspiring!


one of my favorite guys shots ever...


A family portrait :D Tana got a real one, which I'm thankful for and I know my wife is! Notice our little cracker (sorry Diane :D) in the white dress, so cute!


These last two I just love, them spending a few moments alone without anyone knowing what they're saying...


and the wind blowing the veil... love it!


Slideshow: With mad props to the amazing jumpers, you all got some crazy air (and I do mean all of you!)



Thanks again to the amazing Young and Davis family, to the totally wicked wedding party (you guys were a blast to work with), and to the wonderful Tana. It was a blast, ALOHA!
