Danielle & Kenneth | Modesto Wedding | Saint Stanislaus

This wedding was absolutely magnificent. It touched me to see Danielle and Kenneth, who I have met and become friends with over the past months, become husband and wife. To see the excitement and love in their eyes truly touched me.

The ceremony took place at Saint Stanislaus in Modesto with the reception at the McHenry Mansion. What beautiful venues!

Thanks to Amber Grover for assisting me and it's always a pleasure to work with my good buddy Jonathan Rios who captured amazing footage (check the bottom of the post for a preview).

A special thanks to Nousha for helping me out on the wedding day during formals. You are great.

Modesto Wedding | Nick & Patricia

Being Portuguese I can attest to huge, frequent family weddings! When I was between the ages of 10-12 I could have sworn we had a wedding every two months or so - no kidding. Why didn't I shoot weddings then? It was like a wedding boom between those years! Sadly, once all my second cousins were married the wedding goodness all dried up.

When my cousin Nick came to me asking if I would photograph his and Patricia's wedding I was so on it! A family wedding just like the good old times of my younger years! It was an amazing time and brought back so many memories being around family and friends. Patricia - welcome to the family!

Mira Bridal Couture Unveiled / Couture Wedding Gowns

This will be a quick post. I just wanted to say thank you to Mira from Mira Bridal Couture for sending me a press pass to her Mira Bridal Couture "Unveiled" event. I was able to meet some great photographers and connect with some amazing models who were in the show. The show was fantastic and I cannot wait for next year! All the wedding gowns were beautiful! Great job to everyone who brought it all together!

Here are some of my personal favorites from the night:
