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 :)
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!!

This gorgeous wedding day was truly magical from start to finish! The day was an absolutely perfect San Diego day! It started out cloudy as I arrived at the ornate Westgate Place hotel in downtown San Diego! What a perfect place to get ready. The atmosphere was so calm and the bride radiant. I enjoyed capturing both Joy and than Daniel as they prepared for their day. We than headed over to St. Michael’s Church, a stunning place for an afternoon wedding! The rest of the party took place at Mt. Woodson Castle in Ramona, California. It was my first time shooing at Mt. Woodson and I was instantly in love. The entire place is a photographers paradise and we had so much fun during couples photos incorporating their venue and capturing their obvious connection. The reception was full of sweet moments and I welcomed every minute of it.
Some definitely highlights: Joy’s dress was handmade by her sister and it was the most exquisite dress. The bride played piano beautifully and serenaded us all in the lobby at the Westgate. The groom was a wonderful singer and sang to his new bride during their reception! The first dance was to “a tale as old as time” which was absolutely perfect for this wedding day.
Thank you Joy and Daniel for choosing me to capture your day, what a privilege!
Thank you to all the fabulous vendors!

What: Sunny Engagement Session on the beach in Southern California
Where: Windandsea Beach in La Jolla, CA
Who: Daniel and Joy
I was connected with Joy and Daniel a few months before their wedding day and I was SO excited when it worked out for me to shoot their wedding. After chatting a bit on the phone I was really looking forward to their engagement session. We chose to go to a grove of eucalyptus trees tucked into La Jolla near the ocean. From the start I was just in heaven capturing their genuine connection. Afterwards we headed down to do the majority of our session at my favorite beach spot, Windandsea. The waves are so smooth their and the rocks add so much texture and beauty to the images.
As we talked and got to know each other even more I was captured by these two and their down to earth personalities that made shooting them so easy. What a prefect beach engagement session!
Congratulations you two!

I was so overjoyed to be a part of this fabulous wedding day. I was able to second shoot this great day with Brit Jaye from Brit Jaye Photography.
The morning started with everyone getting ready together and than all sorts of happiness when we shot the wedding party and couple on the beach. The ceremony was at the amazing North Chapel in Point Loma, CA and the reception followed at BRICK also located in Point Loma. The details and day were absolutely gorgeous and I am so excited to share a few of my favorite images from this wedding!
Congrats you two!
Jay and Sarah....It just brings my heart such happiness to say these names together. Such a fabulous story and such a fabulous couple. I was so honored to take Jay and Sarah's engagement pictures a few weeks ago, their joy and love radiated in all their images and in their voices as they talked with me. Sarah is a long time friend and my husband's cousin and she is one of the best people in life. Someone would need to be pretty perfect to match with her and Jay was just the one the God had in mind. I adored the way he protected her and gently cared for her at the session and I am confident he will always cherish her, and she him.
Congratulations you two! I love you both.
It was such a joy to be a part of B&R's special day! I had the honor of second shooting this wedding with the amazing Brit Jaye of Brit Jaye Photography! The day was so beautiful and there was so much joy, laughter, beauty, and gorgeous light to photograph! Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day you two!
I had the pleasure of photographing Molly and Neil shortly after they got engaged. We met at Windandsea and I am pretty sure we all laughed the entire time. The love and fun this couple radiates makes this one of my favorite engagement sessions to date and Im so excited to share some of my favorites here! Congratulations you two :)
