Nicole and Ryan's Wedding, Pismo Beach CA

I left this wedding so stoked for such a rad couple. Nicole and Ryan are the type of people that make you feel like you've known them for years, even after having known them for a few short hours. Their friends, family, and bridal party were awesome and their wedding reception/party was incredibly fun.

Nicole gave Ryan a letter before they were married, and also a note that Ryan had written her in high school.

If you've ever been in a hotel room with bridesmaids getting ready, you know that champagne and cheez-its are a perfectly normal pre-wedding pairing.

Ryan and Nicole's son Nathan stole away for a few adventures during the ceremony. :)

This guy's 76 years old, and was dancing like crazy the entire night!

Monica and Chris's Engagement, Lafayette CA

We walked over 2 miles around the Lafayette Reservoir. We hung out on a dock. We geeked out over miniature sensor networks. We visited downtown Lafayette. It was awesome. I like Monica and Chris. :)

Stephanie and Tim's Engagement Photos, Fresno CA

Stephanie and Tim's engagement session went down in the area I grew up. In fact, the last two photos are the locker banks that I used in high school. Their wedding was two days later (watch for it on the blog soon), and it was fun to shoot a couple so close to their wedding day. It was obvious that they were REALLY happy to be finally marrying each other.
