Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic Church on Ventura Street in Fresno Ca. was the location for this weeks event. Built in 1914, this beautiful church with a social hall in the rear of the church, was the perfect venue for this couple who grew up together and were destined to be together. The Armenian traditions in the service were majestic, but the excitement and highlight of the night was when the music started. Dancing is an understatement, when all in the hall started to dance. This was by far the most lively and energetic crowd I have seen in years. I love how they put their passion and energy into every dance move. It was then off to Maui for this happy couple. We at Soulmates Photography wish this couple many happy years and lots more dancing in their future. Here’s a peek….enjoy.

Carmen & Lawrence

DANIEL STREET — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 17:55:44 +0000

Family, friends and having your children around you on your special day, makes for great memories on your Wedding Day. This event was held at Wolf lakes which for some reason we seem to be doing quite a handful of Weddings there this year. Lakeside was the location at Wolf lakes, making for a nice boat ride for the groom and his party and the beautiful scenic background of the lake and gazebo allow for some romantic photos. As the festivities went into the night, Carmen & Lawrence enjoyed Dancing, great food and the love and support of all their loved ones around them. A great day with lots of fond memories, here’s a peek….enjoy.

Janelle & Bing

DANIEL STREET — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 21:27:23 +0000

In the Beautiful city of Carmel Ca. at the Carmel Presbyterian Church this couple exchanged vows among friends and family. The church is located just a few blocks from the beach and has a quaint old fashioned feeling to the town. As the couple finished off at the church is was off to a quick but romantic shoot on the beach. From there we headed to Poppy Hills Golf Club for a great evening of Fun, laughter and Dancing with music supplied by the always entertaining TnT DJ and Video. I have to say that I love those weddings that put God first and make the commitment to follow his guidelines in their marriage. I truly believe that this is one marriage that will stand the test of time. Soulmates Photography wishes this Happy couple many happy and prosperous years together. Here’s a peek…enjoy.

New images

DANIEL STREET — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:52:06 +0000

With this being our busy season (3 Weddings per week) I do like to take the time to post new images that come through our office. Among those are an Engagement session shot just off Hwy 41 and ave, 24 in FRESNO. And a DREAM SHOT that we always ask our brides to come up with. The look of these couples in love make it all worth while as the long hours take over my private life. I’m very lucky to have a wife that understands my obsession with Wedding Photography. It doesn’t end with the shoot, it also entails loading, storing, cataloging, Posting online, blogging, marketing, Color corrections, photoshop, Website design, S.E.O, planning, presentations,new clients, old clients, orders processed, business shoots, taxes (yuck) ,engagements, weddings and on and on. God, I love this job….Take a peek and enjoy.

SHADOWS KISS

Copper River Country Club is by far one of my favorite places to shoot weddings. After receiving a phone call at the last minute, I jumped at the chance to shoot this beautiful wedding. The golf course makes for some beautiful shots with romantic settings, one of the best around in the Fresno area. So far this year, this was one of the most elegantly decorated events with friends and families pitching in to make this a memorable wedding. Then it was off for a two week honeymoon and the start of a new life together. Here’s wishing this couple many happy years together and lots of babies. Here’s a peek….enjoy.

SHEYLA & JOSUE

DANIEL STREET — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 17:17:51 +0000

This wedding took place at a very popular place for Fresno Brides. The International Catering Company is great venue for those small or large weddings. A full service Catering and Banquet hall, this was spiritual theme wedding that placed importance in the commitment to marriage and God. It seems to me that couples that make God the center of their marriage seem to last longer and are more centered. I loved how the parents on both sides joined in on the ceremony and made their commitment to help guide their children on start of their new lives together. After a long night of festivities, it was off to Catalina then Mexico for a well deserved honeymoon. Soulmates Photography wishes this couple a very prosperous and happy marriage together, here’s a peek……Enjoy.

Regina & Hiram

DANIEL STREET — Mon, 05 Jul 2010 22:10:35 +0000

One of my favorite places to shoot weddings is at Wolf lakes in Clovis, Ca. Particularly the Lakeside area, where the colors and scenery look more vibrant and romantic. This couple’s event included real singers with individual song dedications., a chocolate fountain, boat rides around the lake and to top it off a spectacular fireworks show at the end of the night. The dancing and celebration drifted off into the night as the couple shared their excitement and love with family and friends. Soulmates Photography wishes this happy couple many happy years together. Here’s a peek… enjoy.

Moira & Adam

DANIEL STREET — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:09:32 +0000

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Moira’s delicate antique wedding ring was passed down to her from generations past. As for the something new, I was blown away by one of the most beautiful wedding dresses I have ever seen, handmade by the GROOMS MOTHER. Talk about attention to detail and all the love that went into creating this masterpiece….WOW. Something blue was the garter and something borrowed was a small ornament sewed onto her dress. Attention to detail and lots of family and friends were in a attendance at the Memorial Unified Methodist Church in Clovis, Ca. As the festivities moved out to a tent along side the church, everyone enjoyed the Sushi and cupcakes as they danced under the stars. A perfect night, and it was off to Cambria along the coast for the start of their new lives. Soulmates Photography wishes this couple a long and happy life together. Here’s a peek…enjoy.

Debbie & Ryan

DANIEL STREET — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 00:45:42 +0000

I loved the church where this weekends wedding was held. It’s one of the most beautiful and largest church’s called Our Lady Of Assumption in Turlock Ca. and it fit well with the majesty of this wonderful Portuguese Wedding. It was then off to the Stanislaus State College where we took photos of the couple and their friends. Then back again to the church where they have a large hall to fit just about any large event. Debbie & Ryan are an amazing couple who really knows what it means to have a great time and yet have a loving and serious long lasting relationship. Soulmates Photography wishes this couple many happy years ahead full of love. Here’s a peek….enjoy.

Nichole & Robert

DANIEL STREET — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 18:06:12 +0000

Located at a beautiful private home in Fresno Ca. this wedding was all about the romance. Looking at the bride, you can see the look of happiness in her eyes as she married her Soulmate. Laughter filled the air when in the middle of the wedding the best man rushed back into the house to get the rings he had forgotten. Then it was off to Pardini’s in Fresno (where the groom and some of his friends work.) A Candy bar, wedding cake loads of dancing and music and entertainment provided by Haro Entertainment, made for a perfect evening. Their Honeymoon will consist of a romantic trip to San Francisco then off to the Giants game. Soulmates Photography wishes this couple a long and happy marriage. Here’s a peek…enjoy.

Victoria & Rene

DANIEL STREET — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 01:13:28 +0000

Our Lady of Victory in Fresno, Ca. was the location for this weekends wedding. Rene made it in early (I believe he was very anxious to get married) so we were able to squeeze in some extra shots of him and his groomsmen and family. But as the bride open the doors and made her entrance, all eyes were on her. I don’t think Rene blinked once, as he saw his Bride gently walk down to the alter. After the ceremony it was off to The International Catering Hall in Fresno, where everyone danced, ate, and listened to mariachi music. Victoria and Rene made the effort to dance and greet everyone who showed up for this fun and happy event. This is one couple meant to be, and Soulmates Photography wishes this couple all the happiness and joy in the world. Here’s a peek….enjoy.>

Jenece & Adam

DANIEL STREET — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 07:52:36 +0000

This weekends wedding took place at a private residence in Clovis Ca. My wife Elyse and Jennie were honored to shoot this very fun and romantic event. Celebrating with family and friends, the ceremony was surrounded by horses and livestock to add the the country appeal as the breezy wind gently blew her dress as she walked down the isle with her two young boys by her side. The best part…the look on Adam’s face when he saw his bride for the first time, it was priceless. Then it was off to Temple Beth Israel Hall in Fresno to celebrate into the night. The Best man was actually a woman, and very dear friend of the groom. And the Maid of Honor gave a very emotional toast as she wish the couple a very happy new life together. And lets not forget the Very Delicious food for this wonderful event, it can only be put in to one word…Delicious. Soulmates Photography wishes these childhood sweethearts and newly married couple all the happiness in the world. Here’s a peek…enjoy.

Nancy & Miguel

DANIEL STREET — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 07:06:29 +0000

St Josephs Catholic Church in Firebaugh Ca. was the location of this wonderful wedding. Nancy’s dress was what a princess would wear and it looked sensational on her. As she glided down the aisle Miguel was speechless and proud, and it showed on his wide smile. From here it was off to Holy Spouses Hall in Madera Ca. to a very large crowd of family and friends. It was so large that it filled to capacity as some guests had to wait outside for their turn to join the festivities. Even a pulled Fire Alarm in the middle of the couples first dance was not enough to put a dent in their fun. It just carried out in the parking lot as the the crowd cheered as this newly married couple smiled and kissed. Here’s to a long and very happy marriage for Nancy And Miguel, (and lots of babies in their future.) Here’s a peek…enjoy.

Laura & Joel

DANIEL STREET — Tue, 25 May 2010 07:30:16 +0000

An hour from the San Francisco Bay area is a place called Willow Heights Mansion in Morgan Hills Ca.. It sits high up on a hill and has the most magnificent views and one of the most Romantic settings for a wedding venue. San Jose Sharks fans were in a attendance, as the Groom fought off a Rattlesnake before the wedding, yup, thats a rattle in place of a cigar. And as wild horses slowly grazed below the mountainside, the ceremony took place with a calm breeze and an incredible view of the countryside below. This was a wedding made for storybooks, with just a touch of little things added like Sharks Fans, A Fishing theme, Rattlesnakes and most important ..lots of love. Soulmates Photography was honored to shoot such a beautiful wedding and wishes this couple all the happiness in the world. Here’s a peek…enjoy.

April & Phila

DANIEL STREET — Tue, 18 May 2010 21:31:46 +0000

Another busy week, with two weddings this weekend. This event took place high atop a mountain overlooking the beautiful countryside of Dinuba, Ca. The place is called The View, and with 360 degree luscious views we can see where it gets it’s name from. The couple enjoyed fine dining, Dancing, a delicious cake and romantic music through the night. My wife Elyse and 2nd photographer Betty put the female touch to this happy event and joined in the celebration. Soulmates Photography wishes this couple many happy and joyful years ahead, along with the new additional family member arriving soon. As the day ended, they sat on a bench overlooking the scenic night, and we’re sure they felt like they were on top of the world……they were, Thats why it’s called The View. Here’s a peek….enjoy.

Megan & Brandon

DANIEL STREET — Wed, 12 May 2010 08:08:41 +0000

Hidden just outside of Oakhurst Ca. is a small place called the Sierra Meadows Country Club. Lots of scenic greenery and a perfect place for a romantic wedding. Megan & Brandon had it all. The bride rode in on a convertible while elvis tunes played on. Beautiful white doves were released just before the couple walked out and down the isle. And Family and friends could not wait to get out to the dance floor. The festivities went well into the night as this happy couple started out their lives together. Soulmates Photography wishes them many happy and exciting days and years ahead. A match made in heaven to be sure. Here’s a peek….enjoy.

Tiffany & Bobbie

DANIEL STREET — Mon, 03 May 2010 18:18:22 +0000

Just outside of Fresno Ca. is a beautiful venue called Wolf Lakes. Having shot many weddings there, I always recommend it for the lush scenery and it’s romantic setting. On the lakeside area, the colors were Red, Black & White as 150 family and guests awaited the arrival of the groom and his groomsmen on the approaching boat. When the bride made her entrance, it was truly a scene from a fairy tail movie, princess and all. The sand ceremony, the kiss and the long walk back up the isle as everyone watched was priceless, then eating and dancing in the night. As this couple start their Forever After Storybook Marriage, Soulmates Photography wishes them a ‘Happily Ever After’ lifetime together. Here’s a peek…..enjoy.

Kristina & Emilio

DANIEL STREET — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 16:28:05 +0000

This is the story of the Princess and the Fireman. After years of putting out fires, the flames of love finally caught up with this couple. Not even a huge fire down the road on the day of the wedding could stop this dedicated fireman from getting to his bride in time. This event took place at the Mendota Baptist Church, And during the final moments of the Wedding, just before the kiss…his crew and chief walked through the doors. They made it. This couple made it. Destiny, has a way of following couples that are meant to be together. On this day, destiny was smiling down on this pair of love birds. With fires out, and the celebration ready to begin, it was off to the Kerman Community Center for a time of celebration with Family and Friends. Smiles and laughter filled the air as the couple danced with their two girls in each arm. A special family moment that will last forever. Soulmates Photography wishes this family a lifetime of joy and happiness in their future. Here’s a peek….enjoy.

Erica & Nathan

DANIEL STREET — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 19:49:02 +0000

Nestled in the small town charm of Selma Ca. is the Selma First Baptist Church. A beautiful and a perfect setting for a weekend wedding, this event was all about family and friends. Nathan is a small town farmer with the perfect love story of boy meets girl, share dogs, ride off road vehicles, go hunting together and live happily ever after.
Their love was very obvious throughout the night as the festivities moved over to the Sunny Side Country club. With Dancing, eating, and celebration, the night was a very magical experience for all. Soulmates Photography wishes this happy couple many happy hunting days ahead. Here’s a peek…..Enjoy.

Bethany & Nicholas Downtown Wedding

DANIEL STREET — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 00:48:38 +0000

It’s the little things in life that make it all worthwhile. That one type of flower you just have to have at your wedding. The small stuff animal that brings a smile to your face, along with the perfect cake topper The fact that all your sisters can get together in one place and share the same joy together. It’s about family and friends coming together to share that one special day. Weddings are among one of the happiest days one can enjoy in a a lifetime, and we get to do this each weekend. The look on Bethany’s face as she said her vows this weekend was priceless. And the gentle touch of Nicholas’s hand as he guided his new bride on the dance floor, was timeless. All the little details were in place to make this a event to remember. This event took place at the Downtown Club in Fresno, Ca. And then it was off to a Mexico cruise to top off the celebration.

Michelle & Cody’s Wedding

DANIEL STREET — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 08:12:32 +0000

I had the pleasure of shooting a beautiful event at Harris Ranch near Coalinga Ca. It’s a Hotel and fine dining steakhouse midway between Los Angeles and San Francisco and a great place to hold a wedding. The garden area was finely decorated as clouds above suggested possible rain, but fate was on this couples side with not a drop on their event. Inside , the party exploded with fun and dance, as family and friends celebrated the joining of this adorable and happy couple. Soulmates Photography wishes this couple many happy years together. Here’s a peek…..Enjoy.

Katrina & Jerad

DANIEL STREET — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:21:55 +0000

A small boy named Jaden is one of the luckiest kids around. On this day, looking through his big brown eyes, he watches his Mom & Dad get married. The memories he will have, are how his parents couldn’t keep their eyes off each other as they they made a promise to stay together forever. Nothing will affect a child’s life more, than the love he will feel from his parents and the commitment they made for one another. Wonder Valley Ca. was the site for this festive and family themed Wedding. Sometimes a woman’s touch is needed to see things in the right perspective. and on this occasion, It was 3 women photographers, my wife Elyse , Betty & Jenny who were in sync to capture this fun and loving event. Soulmates Photography wishes this happy family a long and prosperous Marriage. Here’s a peek….

Katrina & Jerad Engagement Session

DANIEL STREET — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 07:17:55 +0000

On the way to Wonder Valley, Ca. there’s an old farmhouse on the side of the road that has stood the test of time. The boards are discolored and falling apart, but it still stands tall. We shot here at the request of this couple to capture the mood they were after. I hope over the years Kartrina & Jerad, who are to married next month can also withstand the elements of time and grow old together. They only have eyes for one another and it shows in their faces during this engagement session. Soulmates Photography wishes this couple many happy years together. Here’s a peek…..
