I had the pleasure of photographing Tera and Logan's gorgeous wedding day back in 2017 at Maravilla Gardens. They are the type of couple where you just instantly click with them and it feels like you've known each other for years! We had talked for a while about doing an anniversary session together and thankfully our schedules finally aligned to have a gorgeous all-film session at Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills! Tera once again wore her stunning Calla Blanche wedding dress and was beautified by the ladies at Cheek to Cheek Artistry. 

I had so much fun with Molly and Bobby a few weeks ago during their engagement session! They are such wonderful people are we had a blast chatting about beer and tacos while taking their photos! They got engaged on a hiking trail and really wanted to photos in a woodsy location, but also wanted the beach, so we decided to do both! We started the day at one of my favorite locations, Solstice Canyon in Malibu and then moved to Malibu Pier. It was my first time there and I love getting to shoot in new locations. We walked down from Malibu Pier where we came to Surfrider beach (appropriately named since there were about 30 surfers there) and the sunset 

Last month I got to spend some time with Kelly and Nick to photograph their engagements and we had SO much fun! After putting much thought into a location that meant something to them, they decided on one of my favorite locations, Solstice Canyon in Malibu. This location has so many fun spots for photos with tons of mountains, greenery, and trees. They love nature and are avid travelers (they got engaged on the beach in Thailand!- how AMAZING is that?!) so Solstice canyon made total sense. Having shot there many times before, we decided to try something a little different and head up to a small parking lot area overlooking the ocean. 

Having the chance to photograph a fellow photographer is always an honor, especially if they are your friends! I met Jess upon moving here about a year ago and we immediately hit it off. We've worked on numerous weddings together and she is such a sweet and talented person. She has faced some unfortunate hardships in her life and has battled and overcame cancer, and is one of the most deserving mommys-to-be I have ever met. I remember on a long drive to a wedding one day she told me about how badly she wanted to be a mother and I am so thrilled for them that it is finally coming true!

In September I had the pleasure of photographing Jennifer and Matt's engagement session in Goleta. They both met while attending ASU and are college sweethearts who traveled to SoCal from Arizona for their engagements! I feel so honored to have been chosen by them to capture their day! We had planned on taking their engagement photos at Knapps Castle but unfortunately we were not allowed to take them there. As the sun was setting and the light was fading we scrambled to Ellwood Beach in Goleta to capture their photos.

Gina and Kurt had a fairy tale wedding last month at the beautiful Franciscan Gardens in Orange County. The day was full of beautiful details, a dreamy first look at the picturesque Mission San Juan Capistrano, and laughter and fun among their guests. Her day consisted of an all-star vendor team including Seven Stems for florals and coordination, Cherished Rentals for tablescape, and Kitty Chen Couture from Mary Me Bridal.

Allison and James' engagement session back in November was too much fun! I had been to Brookview Ranch many times for weddings however this was the first time I was there for an engagement session and I have to admit.. it was fantastic! We had the whole venue all to ourselves and got to freely explore and frolic throughout the space. Everywhere you turn at Brookview the nature is gorgeous and the landscape is perfectly kept.
