Who We Are

A business is only as good as the people who run it, and that is so very true in a creative business such as photography. The associates at Roy Dressel Photography bring a little bit of themselves to their jobs. Our training allows each individual to express his or her own creative expression while working within the boundaries of the business as a whole. What this means to you is that you have people who are excited about their jobs and strive to do their very best for you.

Roy Dressel
Owner
Photographer

     Photography became a passion for Roy when he received a birthday gift of a developing and printing kit for his thirteenth birthday. He went on to work on his high school and college yearbook and newspaper, winning awards for his photographs. After college he sold cameras in Visalia for fifteen years, first at J.C. Penney, where he learned about business, then at Main Drug Store and Albert's Studio and Camera Shop . He began Roy Dressel Photography out of his home in 1984, with a desire for extra income and to operate his own business.
     In 1993 he took the business full time, at first continuing the business from his home, then moving into his present location in 1996.
     Roy has three grown boys, all of who work in the business, and three grandchildren. His other passions include motorcycling and backpacking.

Crystal Fry
Wedding Photographer

   Crystal began working for us as a wedding assistant back in September of 2003. She had an interest in photography and wanted to work with people. After two years as an assistant she was ready to make the jump to photographer.
     She has a rapport with people (one of the requirements to work with Roy Dressel Photography.) Her personality is not overbearing, but she get things done. She also has an eye for creating great images, and is always ready to experiment with new angles of view and new poses.
     Crystal is presently attending Fresno State University and would like to go on to become a teacher.

Ray Dressel
Wedding Photographer

Ray has worked with his dad in the business since 1997 when he began to video tape weddings. Back in 2001 he decided that he wanted to learn the still photography end of the business and began assisting his dad at weddings. After two years he was ready to move up the ladder and become a photographer in his own right.
Ray has an infectious energy for the job and loves working with people. He has recently decided to do Video again. For several years Ray has only been doing photography but the lure of movement and sound has grabbed him once again.
Ray lives in Fresno with his wife, Brooke, and their three children, Riley, Daisy and Preston. He works during the week teaching math and science at Reedley High School.


Hanna Lambert Wedding Assistant		Hanna has been with us for just about a year. She has an eye for detail and works well with people. She is a student at COS and works at Signa Insurance.
Shannon Anders Wedding Assistant		Shannon became interested in photography from a class at COS, and wanted to work in the wedding business to learn more about a her hobby. We were already familiar with Shannon as we had photographed her wedding three years ago. She has one child and lives with her husband Ben in Visalia
Jon Dressel Preview Book Manager		Jon's job has only been in existence for the last two years that we have been a full digital studio. In the past we would take rolls of film, drop them in an envelope and send them to our pro lab. Now it takes several hours to get the digital files ready. Jon is the person who takes the camera files and gets them ready for printing into proofs. This is no easy task, as we take hundreds of images that must be converted to a format from which the lab can print the final product. Jon also puts these files onto the web site so that friends and relatives can order on-line. Jon lives with his dad and enjoys working on his Mazda MX3. Somehow he has become a San Francisco Giants' fan, which leaves his dad wondering why he just didn't get into some kind of street gang.

Daniel Dressel Digital Production Manager		Daniel is our resident computer guru. He has the know-how, patience, and the perfect personality to work at the computer correcting and ordering your images. Daniel knows computers and inside and out and enjoys working with the digital part of the job. Daniel is a sports fan, with an encyclopedic knowledge of baseball statistics. He also lives with his dad.
