So, we have Allison, a professional fly fisherman and Gary, the head golf pro for many years at Fig Garden completing their wedding day at Fort Washington.  You would think that Gary was the pro at the Fort given all the people who came up to congratulate him and Allison.  This wedding was one of our favorites…so nice to see that life can continue to bring great joy in later years.

Georgia and Jason met while working at a movie theater.  We couldn’t find an accommodating theater while in San Francisco doing their engagement session (see separate blog post), so we finished up with a few quick shots here in Fresno.  We were very thankful to have 10 minutes squeezed in between a maintenance crew and  delivery of stage equipment for the evening performance.

There’s something magical and beautiful about pregnancy, and such a special moment in time to capture.  We were honored to help celebrate with this great couple.

Okay, you can tell from these images that Ashley & Trevor were just meant to be together.  Ashley, who currently lives in Texas, flew into Fresno for their engagement party and photo shoot.  We had a great time sipping a little wine in Friant followed by a little splashing around at Millerton.  Their wedding will be at The Grand in June ’12.  Can’t wait!

Had a great time at Fort Washington last Saturday shooting Allison & Gary’s wedding.  More of the wedding to come later, but here are a few of the location details from that evening.  Thanks to some great vendors……The Velvet Society, Sweet Dreams Cakes, RSVP Please and Haro Entertainment.

Another trip to San Francisco….another great day!  We started out at the Palace of Fine Arts, made our way down to the bay and ended up at the Embarcadero.  Georgia & Jason were just a blast…when they broke out the bike we were all reminded of that scene in Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid.  Can’t wait for their wedding in a couple of months!

Here’s Chelsea being a little bit “Legally” blonde!

We recently headed to Carmel for Jordan & Rick’s engagement session.  As you can see from the images, these two have truly found their connection.  We had a blast sharing the day with them and can’t wait for their October wedding at Fig Garden Swim & Racquet Club.  The day started with a quick brunch at Mission Ranch Hotel in Carmel before heading to the beach.  While climbing around on the rocks recreating the proposal we were happy to see the ring didn’t end up in the drink!  Then it was off to Lover’s Point in Monterey where we discovered a little family competition….Jordan is a big time Giants fan; Rick likes the Dodgers.  But they settled their rivalry with a friendly golf competition to end the day.  Congrats to you both….looking forward to October!

Ever wonder if we like destination weddings?  Nope — we LOVE them!  And we’re providing an even greater experience for those brides and grooms who choose the Hawaiian Islands as their location.

We’ve partnered with Creative Island Visions to bring you the ultimate beach wedding experience!

In fact, we just wrapped up a week on the island and were honored to be a part of Ryan and Jodi’s beautiful wedding on the shores next to the Wailea Marriott.  Here’s a sneak peek at some of the images from the day.

Stay tuned for more information regarding opportunities and collaborations between MJP and CIV.  If you or someone you know is considering a destination wedding or special event, let us help you create unforgettable memories!

Had a great time with Alison & Josh last weekend shooting their engagement images.  As we bounced around their ranch locations we were even joined by their new 8 week old puppy, Dixie.  Can’t wait for their wedding next June at Tuscan Gardens.
