This wedding at Flora in San Diego in the Downtown area was so gorgeous! Avery and Thomas were so lovely to invite me to capture their wedding and it was amazing to be in my hometown in California :)
Growing up in San Diego was such an amazing experience and when we moved to Oregon I thought that part of my wedding career was over. Turns out I have been able to travel down to San Diego quite a few times for weddings and for engagement sessions for my couples. There are so many amazing places to shoot in San Diego and Downtown on Broadway was so stunning for these night before the wedding photos! We also popped over to The Santa Fe Train Station and the Embarcadero.
Thomas and Avery met in college and their long awaited wedding weekend arrived on a typical for San Diego, sunny January. The night before their wedding we met post rehearsal at the gorgeous Flora The Venue and went from there!
So many many more wedding photos to come but for now Ill leave you with these!
This session at the GORGEOUS new Slate Studios in Medford, Oregon is stunning and the options are endless here!
This lovely session with Anna and Seth was creative, fun and connective. These two know just how to show genuine love with one another and showcase that intimacy. I loved that they brought so many outfit options and it was really fun to mix and match!
A TIP from this session - bring pieces that go together so that you can squeeze in some different variations to end up with multiple looks for a flowed through look. Neutrals and simple styles are always the best in a lower key session.
Congratulations on your love you two!
DYING over these! This dream session at the Glamis Dunes in Southern California was everything I love in a session. A breathtaking location ( bucket list spot for me as a photographer), a connected and intentional couple and the most stunning light.
I am so honored that Stephanie and John chose me to shoot their wedding later this year on the Oregon Coast. During my travels for a San Diego Wedding in January I had some time to meet up with them and photograph this shoot at the gorgeous desert - The Hugh T. Osbourne Lookout had all the spots and the light was so varied.
We started our session when the sun was still fairly high and captured some dynamic, playful shots. As there evening came on we experienced the loveliest sunset and the softness of the sand was highlighted as the sun poured over it.
One way to make your session genuine to you is to be willing to really enter into that togetherness in front of the camera. These two needed very little help and were such naturals.
Congratulations S & J - I am so excited for you both!!
Ahhh!! I am just SO in love with this session!! These two & their connection was everything I love about storytelling. Both musicians & a married couple ( I had the pleasure of photographing their wedding years ago.), it was so fun to see their two passions interact. Each other & Music! You will definitely want to check out their band - Crow La Moon.
I shot this session at the absolutely stunning Greenwood Villa! I could literally come up with a thousand ideas to shoot here! I love when the story of a couple merges so seamlessly into a perfect concept for a shoot. I love the way this produces real & genuine moments that are pointing to the overarching theme of someone’s life.
What an honor to be able to capture these sessions & what an honor to be a photographer. I love my job.
Still looking for someone to capture some magic for you? I’m your girl!
Reach out to connect! We’ll have so much fun.
As a photographer I often dream of sessions in my head that I would love to do. This gorgeous session was completely a fulfillment of that dream & was truly magical. When you put a historic kitchen, gorgeous light, a super in love couple, cookies & the cutest golden retriever all together you get cinematic magic.
Still looking for someone to capture your love story & be a part of your wedding day? Reach out!
Tayler & Ethan reached out to me to photograph their wedding for next year & I instantly knew we’d have so much fun together. This gorgeous spot in the hills of Ashland, Oregon is one of my favorites for its diversity and beauty.
One of my favorite things about this session was the fun these two had! They came ready to laugh and have fun & I can’t tell you how much that changes an entire session.
