I’m always a bit nervous going into a wedding having not done an engagement session, or worked with the couple prior to the wedding, but I have to say that all of that went out the window the moment I met up with Kate in her suite. Kate and Josh were so much fun to work with! Totally in love. Ready to be married and Josh was so enamored with Kate- it was clearly visible the entire day.
The day had a wonderful ease about it – just the idea that whatever happened would be perfect -and it was. The day was set at the beautiful Wine & Roses in Lodi which happened to be in full bloom just in time for their big day. The simplicity of their vows and the story that his brother and best man shared with everyone, just added to the feeling of how their wedding truly represented them. Harpist Pamela Pamprin played for both the ceremony and cocktail hour and entertained everyone with her renditions of everything from classical pieces to Metallica. Both geologists, there was no shortage of rock-related humor in the speeches. And Kate, big fan of scrabble, made a message board for the guests to play with using magnetic scrabble tiles that they then could take home as favors.
HERE’S YOUR SLIDESHOW! I hope you both have a fantastic time on Maui, I know you will.
I also wanted to give a big shout out to all of the vendors! It was an amazing evening made that way by many hands.

Lisa,
Thank you again! I really cannot thank you enough or tell you how thrilled we are.
The photos are simply outstanding. I had full confidence in your abilities matched with incredibly high expectations — but I am still BLOWN AWAY. You captured all the raw emotion, and you made us look awesome! 🙂 Your photos are a beautiful balance of candid and artistic. I have so many favorites already — Where do I even begin?
We felt perfectly at ease with you and Anna on our wedding day, and you two brought so much fun to the day. We thank you both so much!
So excited to see the rest of the photos!!
Kate
I’m flattered! What kind things you all have said! I thoroughly enjoyed myself that day and especially getting to know Kate and Josh better. Their mutual love and humor for life was apparent and I was honored to get the opportunity to capture it! They kept me laughing the whole day- In fact, you all did! Thank you-
These photo’s exceeded my expectations!! You captured the love between my sister Kate and her now husband Josh perfectly. Every photo brings me back to that day. I’m eagerly anticipating the rest! For a 215lb man, with a love for bodybuilding and the UFC, I found myself misty eyed viewing the slideshow and I’m not ashamed to say that lol. Thank you for letting us remember this day for many years, your talent shines through and I can’t say enough kind words.
