Recent work throughout Southern California and a bit of personal life in between
Melanie and Brent love the beach, so they decided it would be the perfect setting for their engagement session. Finding a dog friendly beach was key, since their shoot wouldn’t be complete without including their fur babies Peter + Appa.
The beach can tend to photograph a bit flat, so we chose a spot with rocks and tide pools to provide more depth and dimension to their images.
Did you know that I offer complimentary engagement sessions in all of my wedding collections? Wanna know why? I believe that it’s SO important to get to know & connect with your photographer. If you think about it, you’re basically paying someone to be your own personal paparazzi & stalk you the entire day. If you don’t feel comfortable with your “stalker” (aka photographer), it could make for some annoying & uncomfortable situations.
From the delicate details, to the fleeting moments, to the candid expressions, my number one priority as your wedding photographer is to create imagery that takes you right back to how you felt in that exact moment.
Through intentional composition, I strive to zero in on the moments you likely didn’t even notice. Memories are so much more than details … they’re feelings. With every click of my shutter, I want to bring your vision to life while allowing you to be deeply present.
