Kari and Shawn are the most wonderful couple who got married at the Wente Vineyards in Livermore, CA. I had the pleasure of recieving their inquiry. At that time, I was still advertising on TheKnot.com so the found me through that wedding web site. I made the numbers work for them which resulted in us commencing to do business with one another. Here are some of the fantastic wedding photos I took at Kari and Shawn’s wedding.
Please note that I like as much natural light as possible. I take a more ‘ORGANIC’ approach with my wedding photography.
Here are some sample wedding album magazine style digital design from a wedding I photographed back in 2004. So the designs actually don’t reflect my current design style. You can click here to see some of my current designs. I just thought it pertinent as I have a Wente Vineyards Category here on my wedding photography blog. I’m attempting to catalog all of the weddings I have shot through this weblog.
This was the wedding of Belle & Perry. They were a great couple and I became very fond of both Belle and Perry. She was a very demanding but also generous bride. I’m sure that by now they have kids and all of that. I truly wish I could keep in better contact with some of the clients I have grown to know and love through the years.

This shout out goes to one of my favorite clients of all time. Or should I say couples? or should I say…ah what the heck. What I was trying to say was that I really liked these folks and I’m sorry I was not able to keep in touch with them.
This photo was taken from the stage, or should I say I positioned myself on the stage so that the group would be lower than me. This enables me to get a higher angle without having to carry around a ladder. I have seen wedding photographers who carry ladders to shoots.
Wente Vineyards is a very popular place to have your wedding in Northern California. It is not uncommon for me to shoot at least 3 weddings here in a season.
Angela & Rich got married here in 2008 and these are some of the wedding photos that I took.
The process of refining the final image is an integral part of my workflow. As an expert image designer, I have been exposed to PHOTOSHOP since version 1. My ability with the tool is maximum…the results of which you see in this RAW AND TWEAKED category which is the MOST VIEWED on the Blog.
This amazing wedding shot of a bride standing at a window was taken at the Wente Vineyards in Livermore. I love this shot alot. I use it on my business card.
