2011 was a little bit slower than past wedding seasons, but that didn’t mean it was any less special. I had awesome clients, awesome locations, and had the help of some awesome second shooters!

I picked one image from each wedding I shot this year for this post. I did things a little bit different this year, I didn’t pick a bride and groom photo from every wedding. I also didn’t always choose a posed image or a dramatically lit photo. I wanted to really show off the wedding. Sometimes it was a moment from the ceremony, sometimes it was a posed shot. Which ever image I chose for that wedding, I feel it was a pretty good representation of the day.

Enjoy!

John & Crystal : Benicia Arsenal :: You really cant go wrong with a brick wall and an awesome window. Add in an amazingly sweet and sincere couple, you have a great image!

Joshua & Kristina :: Lake Tahoe :: This casual pose was the last photo from our Bride and Groom session. With a freak Memorial Day BLIZZARD, our out door photos were cut short. However this image really shows the laid back personality of the couple, and their joy to be inside in front of a warm fire!

Suzie & Danny :: Lafayete, CA :: Sorry Danny, I had to post a solo of your beautiful bride. I LOVE this image. Suzie has a very classic look, and the location really brought it out. The color version of this image just doesn’t do it justice.

Michelle & Steve :: Santa Rosa Back Yard :: Emotion. A lot of times this is a very elusive subject, other times its out there for everyone to see. This wedding had the latter. Both Michelle and Steve were so happy and joyous during their vows that everyone could feel what they were feeling. The way Michelle looks at Steve in this photo is a true representation of this wedding. ( I had a similar photo of Steve, but hes a cop and I drive in Sonoma County a lot. LOL)

Tiffani & Justin :: Occidental College, Los Angeles :: Ok, I have a soft spot for this wedding. I have known Tiffani since High School and she was pretty much like a little sister to me. Being asked to photograph her wedding was a true honor. This image is so peaceful and intimate it immediately became one of my favorites from the year.

Betsy & Cole :: Tiburon Yacht Club :: This photo is just fun! I had a lot of fun with Betsy and Cole at their engagement session and their wedding. Getting such genuine laughter in this photo captured their personalities and showed all the fun we had at the wedding.

Victoria & Ernie :: Mission on the Hill, Vacaville, CA :: A beautiful bride and an awesome bike…..ok and Ernie too! This photo is all about them. We did their engagement session with a motorcycle tone to it and when I saw this hog in the parking lot I knew I had to do photos with it!

Michelle & Paul :: Camino, Ca :: So, I wasnt the photographer for this wedding, I was a groomsman! First wedding in 5 years I have been too that I wasnt the photographer! Well, I might not have been THE photographer but I made a deal with Michelle and Paul as well as the paid professional shooter for the wedding that I got to do some Bride and Groom photos. Michelle has been one of my closest friends for years now and the fact I got to be in her wedding AND get this awesome photo just made me so happy! The fact that I actually like Paul is a big plus too! Love you guys!

Jennifer & Art :: Chicago, IL :: This wedding was HARD for me to pick a favorite. I picked about 3 before I finally chose this one. Why did I pick this one? ITS AT WRIGLEY FIELD!! I think it was a pretty tight race between Art and I for who was the most excited to be doing this shoot. I am going to concede and let Art win this one, but I was pretty darn excited! Jennifer was beautiful, Art was a giddy little boy and it was all just perfect!!!

Kerri & Doug :: Keller Estate, Petaluma, CA :: So a week after I was shooting in Chicago, I got to shoot a wedding in California for a couple from CHICAGO!! I love my Chicago connection!! This wedding was HARD for me to pick a favorite but this image just speaks to me. This photo represents an entire 6 hour wedding in 1/500th of a second! Its these little moments that make me LOVE weddings!

Mira & Mark :: Pasadena, CA :: My very first Coptic wedding! There were a LOT of ceremony pictures from this wedding, I mean it was a 2 hour ceremony with a LOT of aspects to the actual ceremony. Lots of priests, lots of deacons, lots of stuff I didn’t understand LOL. Even though I didn’t understand most of the ceremony, I was briefed ahead of time about the meanings, symbolism and significance of what I was going to see. This photo of one of the priests blessing the bride and groom became an instant favorite of mine.

Loianne & Daniel :: St. Vincent Ferrer, Vallejo, CA :: I dont even know what to say. As soon as I saw this photo on the LCD of my camera I LOVED IT! I think being in Vallejo and shooting a Filipino wedding brought out a little Ed Pingol in me.

Jody & Andrew :: Backyard Wedding, Livermore, CA :: I want this one as a 40×60″ print in my office, I love it that much. I think this photo makes Jody and Andrew look like they are the only two people in the world. Just them, in the moment and soaking up each other. The serenity and calm that I feel with this photo makes me love it so much more….well that and the awesome backlight!
