Family has the ability to make or break a wedding day.  Oftentimes, weddings seem to bring out the worst in family.  However this wasn’t the case at all for Stacey & Tony.  Both of their families were ecstatic that they were tying the knot & were incredibly supportive of them individually & as a couple.  There was such a sense of closeness, support.

I am beyond excited to share these images with all of you & I am incredibly grateful to have collaborated with such a talented team of wedding vendors!  So for all of my brides out there, if you’re still shopping around for the perfect team to make your wedding day magical, look no further!

 Descanso Gardens has always been one of my favorite places.  My Nana loved gardening & I remember visiting Descanso when I was young.  My Mom, sister & I have carried on the tradition & now visit with my niece & nephew.

I shoot film.  Not a lot.  Not as much as I should.  But I do want to start incorporating it into my workflow more regularly.  There’s something about the process of loading film, using your light meter, manually focusing, timing your shots, and hearing the sound of your film advancing that makes you feel like you’re doing so much more than taking a picture, you’re creating true art.

One of the things I love about my job is the opportunity to meet amazing photographers.  I was lucky enough to have met Lisa of {LMarie Photography} four years ago.  She has become such a dear friend & mentor.  She is one of the kindest, most compassionate, loving, & generous people I know.
