I was so fortunate to be one of the photographers for the delightful wedding of Daniel and Melissa in Southern California at the end of April. It was a beautiful wedding with a huge bonus for me. I’ve known Daniel and Melissa’s families for over 20 years. We lived in Southern California until about 1996, when we moved up to my hometown, Placerville, CA. My daughter used to play with Daniel when she was young. My oldest son played with Melissa’s older brother. There were many, many people who were invited to this wedding that I hadn’t seen since 1996. It was like a homecoming for me.
The weather was beautiful on the day of the wedding and so was the bride. Her dress was gorgeous and her bridesmaids were adorable.
Jack and Julie Winkle (our best friends) provided the transportation for the bride and groom. (That’s Jack Winkle playing chauffeur for the darling bride.) My dear friend, Debbie Mangiafridda, shot this wedding with me and it was wonderful to work together. Together we shot over 1400 photos, which I am still going through.
My favorite shot of the day:
God bless you both, Daniel and Melissa. Thank you for letting me be a part of your wonderful day.
