So we have a guy with Lebanese heritage and a strong Australian accent, mostly because he resides in Sydney; and our bride with local family connections that presently lives in the bay area. It all came together last Saturday at St Therese and Copper River. A celebration of cultures that included traditions from Lebanon and Mexico. I will tell you it was quite a party. Congrats to Joe and Rosio!

Karen & Brad
March 22, 2012Erna's Elderberry House was the venue for Karen and Brad's unique and intimate wedding celebration. Erna's was closed to the public that day so Karen, Brad and their guests had the entire venue to themselves. Amy and I not only got to share time with some very lovely people, but we were also rewarded with a very special dining experience only known to occur at Erna's.
Alicia
February 29, 2012While at WPPI convention last week in Las Vegas we had the opportunity to do a little night shooting with Alicia at Shoot with Beckstead. An accomplished photographer herself, Alicia decided to try the other side of the lens. We think she has a gift for that side of the lens as well.
Briana & Randy | Married
December 18, 2011With great anticipation for an 11/11/11 wedding, Briana & Randy were really looking forward to an outdoor ceremony at Copper River Country Club. That morning, however, brought clouds, a brisk temperature, and an occasional rain shower. While many considered prepping the reception area for a ceremony, that list did NOT include the bride & groom. Rain or shine they were getting hitched in the great outdoors! You can see from the images they never let the environment spoil their special day....big smiles everywhere.
Shabnam & William
December 15, 2011What happens when two pediatricians working in Philadelphia come back to Fresno for their wedding? First, a class A reunion of friends and family; then a ceremony and party like no other. Fort Washington was beautifully decorated and the appetizer spread was unbelievable. Then there were several types of live entertainment, but not before two of the nicest people exchanged their vows in a mixed traditional/Persian wedding. Amy and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole day with Shab & William...all the way to the limo at 1:30am!
Georgia & Jason | Married
December 2, 2011So, after having a great time with Georgia and Jason in San Francisco on their engagement shoot it was time to tie the knot. The venue was a private residence in Old Fig and the event came off without a hitch (other than they got hitched!) due in large part to the efforts of Sheri Netto from Star Events. The evening ended with a surprise dance performance by the bride and her bridesmaids for the benefit of her groom who had a ring side seat!
Jordan & Rick | Married
November 24, 2011So, after a fantastic engagement session with Jordan & Rick in Carmel, here we are at their Fig Garden Swim & Racquet wedding. A beautiful fall day ceremony with the party extending late into the evening. Congrats Jordan & Rick!
Allison & Gary | Married
October 5, 2011So, 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.
Allison & Gary’s wedding venue details
August 31, 2011Had 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.
Destination: Maui
July 29, 2011Ever 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!
