Idle Hour Wedding | Lake Tahoe, CA | Greg + Daphne

Idle Hour Wedding | Lake Tahoe, CA | Greg + Daphne

By LCLindley|April 17th, 2023|Tahoe, wedding|

First thing you need to know about these Greg and Daphne: they are bold and adventurous. Daphne wanted nothing but snow on her wedding day and snow she got. In fact, what they got was an absolute downright blizzard. I'm not sure why they bothered to do their hair, but it felt right so they went with it. Daphne and Greg are very clearly surrounded by people who love them very much because every guest accommodated their wacky winter Idle Hour wedding with few complaints. I can assure you though, everyone had very cold hands.

San Antonio Wedding Photographer | John + Eileen

By LCLindley|April 3rd, 2023|texas, Travel, wedding|

I consider it to be the highest honor to be hired by friends and family. When my college friend and dorm-mate, Eileen, reached out to me to tell me that she was getting re-married and that she would like to hire me, it was such a tremendous compliment. It is no question that when friends and family members choose to hire you, it clearly indicates their support and belief in your skills and expertise so I thank Eileen for that.

Triple S Ranch Wedding | Calistoga, CA

Sarah and Nathan picked quite possibly the best wedding venue in Napa, CA. It’s beautiful. It’s unique. It’s luxurious without being pretentious. It has all the elements a venue needs to make your wedding day unforgettable. From the stunning views of the surrounding vineyards and mountains to the exquisite gardens and elegant indoor spaces that make you feel like you’re in a villa in Italy, this venue has it all. I fell in love with both Calistoga and the rolling hills of this Triple S Ranch wedding and you will too.

The number one way to create a strong visual identity for your product is to start with a brand photographer. After Lifewater partnered with local cities in a number of states to hire artists to create murals that reflected their region, they wanted to show off the artists and products in a cohesive way across each location. My goal was to create a number of images that accurately represented their brand and the beautiful mural that Kate O’Hara did for them at the University of Northern Reno.
