Mardi Gras in Nevada City, CA

Nevada City celebrates Mardi Gras every year with, among other things, a fun parade down Broad St downtown. This year my daughter, Sonya, who is all about dance, participated in the parade with the African drummers and dance group. Of course, I had to get out and see and hear that and get a few shots of her and the revelry. It was nice weather so there was a large turnout of onlookers and the crowd really got into the primal beat of the drums and other percussion insturments, and the free flowing dance of the group. They did a great job and was one of the crowd favorites. My daughter, Jula, came along with me and helped me out with my gear and took a few photos as well. The last pic is of her and the nice collection of beads she managed to acquire.

Kelly and Marc Wedding

It was a family affair. Kelly and Marc were married last Saturday at a beautiful indoor ceremony, uniting their two families, at La Provence in Roseville. The event manager at La Provence was Raquel Mostajo, she was very professional and the ceremony and reception both ran smoothly. Their many friends witnessed the ceremony, officiated by Lori Levisen, and joined in the celebrations at the reception. The food was superb, the toasts were from the heart (well done Jack), and the tunes and lighting were outstanding, provided by Jordon at J Crew Productions. Kelly and Marc are so nice, and a joy to work with. I wish them and their family all the very best! Thank you for choosing me as your photographer!
Below is a preview of a few selected favorite images, while I continue to process the many photos taken on their special day. ALL the photos will be available for viewing online at Pictage.com in about 10 days or so.
