After a pretty big hiatus of doing anything ‘artistic’ with my camera it was really great to take some photos of a vineyard from the roadside early this morning. Getting up at 5am is never my preference but sometimes that’s what it takes to get some beautiful morning light, find a few simple frames and capture some photographs :)

I pass this little vineyard on the way to work everyday and took some photos a while back when nothing was in bloom and wow, what a contrast. The life and grapes budding off the vines are just some of those great California experiences I do love so much! -Of course drinking the grapes from Napa or Paso is pretty freakin’ awesome too!!

Bakersfield wedding photographer - Wedding at Bakersfield Country Club!

Hold on tight cause this is a big big blog post and by far the most photos I’ve ever had on a single post!

I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding for Kyle & Sarah at the beautiful Bakersfield Country Club last weekend. Kyle is my cousin and just a great guy; and Sarah is such an awesome girl so I’m stoked to be able to officially have her be part of our family!!

The wedding was absolutely gorgeous, the venue was fantastic and all the details were perfect.

The awesome cake was by Gimme Some Sugar & DJ services were by All Sound Music  John was a great guy and really knows how to rock out a wedding! Hope to work with you again, bro!

Unfortunately the girls were getting ready in the ladies locker room so I wasn’t able to hang out with them much at all! But I did manage to sneak a couple of quick shots as Sarah was getting made up :)

This wasn’t a pre-planned photo. They were moving towards our next location when I caught this image and it’s one of my favorites of the day!

My grandfather, Jack is also the club manager at BCC and does all the ice carvings. He surprised Kyle and Sarah with this super cool carving at the reception.
