Lindsey and Troy were married on September 9, 2006 at the Community Bible Church in Vallejo. Lindsey's father, who is also the pastor of the church, both gave Lindsey away and performed the ceremony.

It was great to have the time to run out to the waterfront in Benicia to get some terrific images. I did not photograph the reception, but it was held at the Hilton Garden Inn in Fairfield. For some reason, blogger is not letting me upload an image to display here, but you can still view the **slideshow** from the day.

Thanks to Shannon for helping me out!

Announcing Zachary Braeden Hodel - August 18, 2006

Congratulations to Kevin and Nicki Hodel on the birth of their first son! I got to meet and photograph Zachary today for the first time. He got a little tired of all the fuss after about an hour, but was a great model for while. I made a collage of some of my favorite images from our session. Isn't he too cute?! Here's Zachary's **slideshow**.

Ryan and I photographed the wedding of Della and Kai on September 2 in Pleasanton. They were such a fun couple to work with, they kept cracking each other up. I don't know if I've been met two people with such quick wit, smiles, and easy laughter. I know they're meant for each other. They had planned to elope but their close friends and family insisted on a wedding, which they did in the backyard of the home of one of their friends. I found out that the entire wedding was planned in just one month. I think it turned out great and I'm glad that I was available to capture their wedding memories. View Della and Kai's **slideshow**.

I wanted to post two images from the day. The first one is taken by me and the second is taken at the same time by Ryan while he was laying on the ground with his favorite lens - the fisheye.

Alex Otani drove down from Chico today for his senior portrait session. We photographed his session at the Davis Arboretum. Alex was great to work with and I'm so glad he brought his jersey and helmet, this is one of my favorite images. Click **here** to watch Alex's slideshow.

So, this post is for Kathryn to see if she will read the blog and get this sneak peek of images from her and Adam's engagement session tonight in Old Sacramento. **Slideshow**. Kathryn and Adam are getting married next year on September 22 at Ledson Winery. Ledson is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait for their wedding.

Well, it was extremely difficult to pick just one image to post from Melissa and Pat's wedding at Lake Almanor. There were just so many incredible images, especially from the next day in the meadow seen above. You can view their slideshow **here**. Congratulations Melissa and Pat and thanks for being so adventuresome in your wedding garb!!
