JOHN & JUDY | CALISTOGA, CALIFORNIA WEDDING
The California Napa Valley wine country in September can be hot, but it’s always sunny and filled with beautiful light. John and Judy were married at the Solage Resort where I’ve somehow been lucky enough to have photographed several weddings now. The only surprise other than how hard this group partied, was guest and Discovery’s Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe.

HOLLAND & JUSTIN ENGAGED | SAN FRANCISCO
Holly is an old friend who grew up with my wife in Durango, Colorado. You may recognize her from the MTV reality TV show Road Rules, which she starred in for several seasons. I knew I’d be photographing Holly’s wedding before she and Justin even met, and we’re all eagerly waiting for their Fall Colorado wedding.

MARK & CARLY | SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA WEDDING
I’ve been friends with Mark Stroud for about 15 years. We met in Montana and went on some of the best climbing trips of my life together. He and Carly’s love life is filled with adventure and travel. Mark flies them to places like Mexico in their Cessna and they are about to honeymoon in Tibet. Their Thailand-themed beach wedding took place in front of Carly’s family’s house. It was coordinated by Carly and Mark’s sister-in-law, event planner Kim Curtis of TOAST SANTA BARBARA.

BROOKE & MARCUS | ASPEN, COLORADO WEDDING
August in Aspen is lovely. Thankfully it didn’t storm on the day of the wedding since we were on top of the ski area above 11,000 feet in elevation. The reception was at the Aspen Mountain club, which means we stayed on the summit until almost midnight.
