Gary and Courtney's Blog » Life and Photography

In the midsts of a crazy wedding season, and LOTS of enagement shoots & weddings gone unblogged, we wanted to make a special effort and blog this session with Laura & Sean… they, are, awesome… they know no other way than to bring the party, and we can’t wait to party with them on their wedding day this January. We met Sean when we all journeyed halfway across the globe to visit South Africa earlier this year, he’s a very talented “creative” (designer, web developer and photographer), and we just met Laura for the first time at this shoot and found her to be a pure delight … so excited for you Sean, and SO MUCH congratulations to you both!!! Being married is the best, you’re gonna love it :) Much love, G&C

The Woodards are some of our bestest besties. They live on Maui. We party with them ’round the clock when we’re here. Here’s a few out takes from them partying at Yogurtland yesterday.

Here’s a few of our favorite images from Vanessa & Red[hgert]‘s wedding… man, truly love these two. Red was our gracious host when we visited South Africa at the beginning of Oh-10. He’s one of kind… amazing cook, even more amazing heart, and  he surfs daily with the slew of Great White sharks of Herolds Bay… he’s a crazy shredder. We didn’t get to actually meet Vanessa on our trip (she was either back in Cali or traveling to some far off international destination), we only heard of her awesomeness from Red and the boys, and they were right. Vanessa exudes awesomeness, inside and out. Combined these two are gonna rock the socks off of South Africa. R&V, thank you so much for bringing us up to Fresno and letting us capture your beautiful wedding day, it was our pleasure! Never have we witnessed such joy in a wedding ceremony (you guys had us both in tears behind our cameras). Blessings on you guys in South Africa, we’ll come visit sooner than later ;) View slideshow

Kerry is one of my dearest life-long friends. We went through high school together, saw each other through every major relationship for the last 13 years, worked together and partied in London together. Seeing your friends find their perfect match is one of the greatest joys in a friendship and Kerry has certainly found that in Andy. Kerry was one of my bridesmaids when I married Gary and it will be my great honor to be one of hers when she and Andy tie the knot in September. They came down from San Francisco briefly for “the 4th” and (in between screams from Joelle) I snapped a few quick shots of them in our backyard. How freakin’ cute are they????

Meet Christy & Jason… engaged to be wed this October… love these two lots ;) and we’re overly excited for their wedding day.

This last weekend we had the privilege of flyin’ on over to Colorado to photograph Maggie and John’s wedding at the vast and beautiful Spruce Mountain Ranch near Colorado Springs. What wasn’t to love about this wedding? Epic location, stunning bridal party, awesome family, loads of time set aside for photography, big white puffy clouds, crazy blue sky, a bride and groom who were truly, madly and deeply in love :) I mean, c’mon it doesn’t get much better than this! John and Maggie, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for flying us out to be with you on such a special day. It was an honor. Much love to you both and blessings on your new life together in Colorado.
