This wedding was extra special for us as this is Tom’s brother. They got married in Bend, Oregon in the woods. I love the fishing shot with Allison and her dad and of course the fireworks. This is our first firework wedding so it was pretty cool. We love you guys!

Tom photographing on MADtv and Ed Bassmaster
Posted by brilliantexpressions under Babies, Blogroll, Business, Children, Dances, Engagement, Families, Maternity, Our Family, Paintings, Pets, Portfolios, Senior Portraits, Sports, Weddings, couples, events | Tags: celebrity photos, ed bassmaster, Madtv |1 Comment
Yes it has been an INSANE month. As you can see below I just uploaded about 30 jobs and most of them are from before December! That’s how far behind on the blog we are.
Well, Tom spent a week down in Hollywood this month and photographed on the set of MADtv. It’s a really long story that got him there, but to sum things up, a HUGE YouTube comedian named Ed Bassmaster flew out from Philedelphia to have Tom take his portraits and for us to help create his website. That was a huge compliment for us! Ed won a spot on MADtv and told them he had to bring along his personal photographer, Tom
. So Tom and Ed went to Hollywood, filmed the first day, then Ed was asked to come back for a second filming the following day for the Season Finale! What an honor it was for Ed. The link below is a short 4 minute video of some of Ed’s photos that Tom took here in Redding, and a few photos Tom took from their trip to Hollywood. I hope you enjoy!

Tyler and Ashleigh Wedding in Mount Shasta
Posted by brilliantexpressions under Weddings | Tags: mount shasta wedding, mount shasta wedding photographer, photography in mount shasta |1 Comment
Well when Redding was having the lightning storms 2 weeks ago we were in Mount Shasta shooting a wedding for Tyler & Ashleigh. After a major catastrophe with their outdoor reception tent which was fully decorated blowing over due to the storm, everyone kept their fingers crossed that their outdoor wedding would not get rained on. Thankfully by the afternoon the clouds had cleared and it ended up being the most perfect day. Here’s some pictures from their wedding, including the goldfish they used to line the aisle way to the alter. Very cool adn unique idea

Kacie & Cody – A Cowboy Wedding
Posted by brilliantexpressions under Weddings | Tags: redding photographer, redding photography, redding wedding photographer, wedding photographer, wedding photography california, wedding photography in redding, weddings in redding |Leave a Comment
What a blast we had last weekend with Kacie and Cody and their families. Their wedding was held at Dye Creek in Los Molinos outside of Red Bluff. It was definately a cowboy wedding so we had some fun with the bridal party including some lassoing by the groom
. With over 350 guests I’m glad they had such a large venue! It was extremely windy, which made for some great shots with her cathedral length veil and yes the moonlight is real. Thanks guys, you were awesome!!

Wow, what a crazy and fun season! After our little vacation for our boys football championships in Vegas, we came back and moved our studio! Just 2 doors down, but a much better space for us. We now have natural window light in the studio and it is wonderful! Plus a private proofing room and spacious lobby.
Let me tell you, trying to move in the middle of a packed schedule ahs been a challenge but it was SOOO worth it! Drop by and say hello to check out the new digs! We are at 1137 Hartnell Ave Suite A, very close to Harbor Freight Tools.

What a gorgeous bride Colleen was yesterday. This wedding was such a blast. The Riverview is always in incredible place for a reception and lends itself to be a wonderful photography spot. Everyone was so much fun. Tom and I shot this wedding together. Here’s a few favs from the wedding. One of the groom trying to “drop the bride”, and I love the cake ones, they got the best man good and finally Colleen and Adam got it as well. Congrats guys!!!!

Here is a wedding Tom did this past Saturday. The ceremony was at Little Country Church here in Redding and the Reception was at the Holiday Inn. Unfortunately it rained all day Saturday so it limited our outside photos, but we still got some nice shots before the rain and indoors. Here’s a few pics for now!
