Lake Tahoe

Did some camping in Lake Tahoe (my hometown) for a couple of days before heading up to Virginia City for a day. It doesn't get any better than this. It was a somber drive back to Vegas. We were all missing it and nobody wanted to go back to Vegas. Can you blame us?

Tara & Chris-Reno Nv

I was lucky enough to have been the one chosen to shoot their beautiful wedding at their home in Reno. The weather was a bit warm but as the sun set it was perfect. The entire day was simply perfect.

Trisha & Nick in San Diego



Trisha and Nick invited me to San Diego to shoot their wedding formals/mini Trash The Dress Session and I was all too excited about it. They brought their baby..(their dog Tanner.) I especially love this image because it was spontaneous. They picked him up for a family type shot, and he immediately laid on the dog kisses. Thanks for a terrific weekend in San Diego you guys!

San Diego Trip



Spent a beautiful weekend in San Diego. Although it was work related, it was also a mini vacation. My kids absolutely loved the beaches and the eco system to explore. San Diego is a beatiful city full of rich culture, and vibrant color. The kids are hooked and want to move there. We went to Balboa Park too. It's full of Museums and breathtaking beauty. LOVED IT!

Trisha and Nick

These two people certainly did deserve a flawless night. Unfortunately that was not the case, and I've seen this a time or two. (or more over the years) In the end, their guests and family had a magnificant time. No one was the wiser. It's unfortunate that some businesses seem to favor the idea of simply taking the money and running. I see and hear so much that after time, it gets harder to ignore. Weddings are a serious business and they should never be treated like an assembly line product. It angers me when I see destination couples being taken advantage of and being led to believe there is no recourse. I know that their day will ultimately be affected by some others failures. I'll be the first to admit inspite of protest..it's a greedy business, and an impersonal one.

Jennifer and Scooter


This perhaps may be one of my favorite bridal shots of all time. All the elements came together perfectly. The waves in Lake Tahoe, the sun shining down, the clouds up above and a beautiful bride in a gorgeous gown. Although if you ask Jennier, I'm sure she would tell you that it could havr been a bit warmer. But you wouldn't know it in this photo.

Jaime and David

This is my second time working with Jaime and David. I shot their wedding last year, but due to circumstances, I was unable to get some formal wedding shots. So we got togther in Tahoe for a Trash the Dress session. I was thrilled at the opportunity to work with Jaime and David again....crazy people I tell 'ya! They wanted an earthy look and feel for their photos. To change it up a bit, we also did a Little Red Riding Hood/ Tall Woodsy Man theme.

I'm happy with the outcome and it was a blast working with them.

Cheryl and Shaun

Where do I begin? Cheryl contacted me about a month ago. She knew she wanted to get married in Vegas, and she knew she wanted me to shoot her. Cheryl wanted an intimate setting. I arranged a minister and a location for her in the desert. In the meantime she would share her experience of buying her dress and finding an incredible florist to meet her specific needs. We were both excited to meet each other and crank out some phenomial photos. The day went off without a hitch. Perfectly infact. I met them at their hotel, snapped a few getting ready photos, then off to the Boneyard for some shots before leaving towards Valley of Fire. The surrounding red rocks against her blue bouquet , and Shauns suit made for a beautiful contrast. It was serene and tranquil. On the way back in the limo I reflected on the day and was so pleased that I could be a part in it. I couldn't wait to get home and upload my images.

Ambers Images

Amber had so many nice things to say about this couple. She really had a good time with them from start to finish and got some cool shots. I get a kick out of editing Ambers images because I get to watch a day unfold and view the story she has told with her vision.

Jillian and David


The Hyatt in Incline Village is truly a spectacular venue for a wedding. It had been raining for days, and yet it cleared up and the sun peeked through long enough for the ceremony and to get some shots on the beach. Inspite of the rain, it was as breathtaking as ever on the lake. Jillian and David are such wonderful people. I couldn't wait to get home to upload my images, but moreso, I can't wait to go back in two weeks for another gorgeous Lake Tahoe wedding.
