Richard and Clarissa’s early October wedding in Sacramento was charming and classic. I photographed their engagement session locally here in Jackson and found the both of them easy to photograph. Richard is an intelligent guy, quite fun to be around, with a great smile. Clarissa is just hilarious. Her no-nonsense confidence featured through her many faces and unique expressions had me going. It was pleasant to be with them on their special day!

I love it when people ride/drive/walk/hop/duck while I am photographing because you never know what expressions you’ll get, but it’s almost always good.
This photograph was actually taken within 10 seconds of time, since traffic was heavy. We had a little red light that allowed everyone to throw down their best pose, take a few photographs and move on! They did just great!
This isn’t their dog, but I did ask a stranger on the way to our location if we could borrow their rottweiler for quick ferocious-bride photograph, but the dog was actually quite intimidating. This was the only decent image I had on file.
Seriously, this boy already knows how to get the girls. Darn cute image!
Gorgeous couple, amazing pics, and such a stunning location! Great job!
I love all this pics, they look like a magazine pics. Great job, and clarissa you look hermosa.
My kids are cute.
Really beautiful pics!
I love all the pic, specially the one of my son dancing. He is so cute!! My favorite is of clarissa and rich in the dark!a great job.
Very lovely pictures. Very lovely bride–even if I do say so myself. Many unusual poses, but one of the most dramatic ones is of the Consecretion in front of the stained glass window. Very impressive photography!
Nanette and Mario,
Your daughter is gorgeous!!!!
I loved the photography. Clarissa is so beautiful …she looks a lot like you, Nan.
Clarissa looks beautiful. The pictures are “picture perfect”.
Nice sampling of pictures that are creative and different. Besides the handsome couple, my favorite is of the proud papa hugging his daughter. You can just feel the love.
Great pictures. but….. even I could take great pictures with such a beautiful subject.
Charleton…You never cease to amaze me! When I first saw all these pictures, I was at a loss for words. You made my church look like the St. Pats Cathedral of New York!!! And my flower girls look like angels with the way you captured the lighting..And the moments you got, I didn’t even see you getting all these – you are a sneaky photographer 🙂 But what this means to me is you have mastered your job at truly CAPTURING the moments, versus running them. Thanks, Rich and I are so glad we chose you as our photographer. We don’t like people to be jealous of us 🙂 so I think we are just going to have to recommend you to every bride and groom we know..LOL. Thanks, can’t wait for all the rest of them.
Impatiently waiting,
Clarissa
We love all of them!!!!
How beautiful this wedding is and what a beautiful, beautiful, family… The church is gorgeous!
Awesome photos of a very special day. Beautiful bride, handsome groom, and loving family. The photo of Mario huging Clarisa really hugged at my heart strings!
Great photo’s! Had a great time at the wedding
The spirit of your love and happiness that day has been captured in your photos. I loved being there and it was fun to share with everyone the day you two were blessed as one.
