Proposals are so fun yet so stressful to photograph! There’s such a huge level of anticipation & excitement … I can only imagine what Luke was experiencing!

Last fall I had the privilege of attending a photography workshop hosted my dear friend Katrina Jayne & Jane Alexandra Events at Allegretto Vineyards in Paso Robles. It was the perfect opportunity to take some time away from my daily tasks to be inspired, to connect with fellow creative entrepreneurs, & to set new goals.

The Ebell of Los Angeles provided the perfect ambiance for Julia & Jeremy’s elegant black tie wedding. If I had to choose my favorite moment from their wedding day, it would have to be their first look … Julia was overflowing with excitement & anticipation & Jeremy’s tearful reaction was the absolute cutest! Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Davis! Thank you so much for choosing me to document such a momentus day!

Mat & Linda’s Highland Springs Ranch wedding was such a fun celebration. They wanted to decided to incorporate traditions from both of their cultures so they had an American ceremony followed by a traditional Korean Paebaek. This wedding ritual where the bride is formally welcomed into the grooms home & accepted as a part of the grooms family.

I always tell my couples that I’m not only their photographer, but I’m also a resource for them, so “don’t hesitate to ask for referrals & recommendations”. When I first met with Rebecca & Aaron, they were in the very beginning stages of wedding planning.

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.

I seriously can’t get enough of this wedding!  I fell in love with Keith & Michelle the moment I met them.  I remember calling my boyfriend as I left our meeting raving about how great they were.

I had the honor of photographing my beautiful friend & fellow photographer Laura & all of her boys … all 3 to be exact.  We lucked out with the first cool day of the season & were very grateful to have avoided the 100+ degree temps we had been experiencing just days earlier.

Mike & Kim are two of the most kind-hearted, beautiful souls.  I ended my 2017 wedding season by photographing their incredibly beautiful day!  They are caring & sincere, & their love for each other is entirely evident.  I thought it would be fun to give you a little background on how their love story came to be.

I’m so excited to share this maternity session with you!  Meet Nicole & David.  Nicole is an incredibly talented hair stylist (check out her beautiful salon http://www.harperonmelrose.com/) She is kind, energetic, fun-loving & creative.  David is genuine, sincere, caring & protective.  The chemistry these two have is undeniable & watching the way these best friends interact was pure magic.
