All the other stuff is great, but really, when you get to the bottom of it, weddings are all about two people getting married. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of photographing couples on their day. Here are a few of my favorites form the past year.

Mallory & Adam
Mallory & Adam

My 10 favorite moments from Adam & Mallory’s chill El Cerrito Lodge wedding day.

1. Breast. Makeup Artist. Ever.

When your sister-in-law can nurse and do your makeup all at once you know you are marrying into a good family.

2. The cakes.

What could I possibly say about these that you don’t’ already know.  My email signature is “High Five” and yeah… an Nintendo Entertainment System.

3. Wait

I love catching these moments every week.  We father’s spend a lifetime waiting on our daughter’s to be ready.  A wedding day is the pinnacle of years of training.

4. Mallory’s Expressions.

She spent the whole day making silly faces.  I knew her walk down the aisle would not disappoint.

5. Finally

They joy that I see from couples after the ceremony ends is always so great.

6. Secure

My favorite thing about these two is how secure they are with each other and comfortable they were just hanging out on their wedding day.

7. Mullet

Shut it down.

8. 442

They see me rollin’.

9. Beard

Anytime you and your daughter have matching facial hair, you’re doing it right.

10. Last Dance

There are only two appropriate ways to end a wedding.  Either with EVERYONE on the dance floor or with NO ONE on the dance floor.

Thank you guys for trusting me with your day.  You are the best.

top 10 2017 | the winners!

Hey hey, the people have spoken and here are the winners for this years contests.

Movie: I feel better about making these two clean up popcorn off a movie theater floor now that I know their image won.

Rope: Ann & Tonya’s nautical themed wedding was the perfect backdrop for their ring shot.

Anna Caroline was one of the sweetest brides I’ve had in years. So happy she won.

Gummy: How could anyone beat gummy bears raining down form the heavens?

Bear: I mean…. was this category ever in doubt?

Kally & Kishan: This casual walk after the ceremony was so organic and natural. Sometimes the moment finds your camera and all you have to do is click.

Each year it’s so hard for me to narrow down the categories and pick only 10 photos per section. Here are 100 more of my favorite images that were not able to make the cut into the top 10.

Lots and lots of eye candy below. Enjoy.
