Thanks to my friend Chelsea for sending Carrie and Robert my way! Chelsea doesn’t photograph weddings anymore, but Carrie wanted someone Chelsea knew and trusted. We met up at Crescent Bay Park for the first part of our shoot then headed down to the beach for the last few shots. They’re such a sweet couple and I had so much fun getting to know them!
Two years later… TWO YEARS! So wild! Gonzo first contacted me when he was proposing to Shelby. This time Shelby contacted me to take anniversary photos & soon after this they announced they were pregnant. It’s so sweet to be a part of a couple’s journey beyond engagement photos and wedding photos.
Our first two shoots were in Laguna at Montage (proposal) and Victoria Beach (engagement session), so it only made sense to return to Laguna for some photos! We went to Top of the World and Moss Cove - two of my favorite spots.
Happy New Year and congrats to all the newly engaged couples! Let me tell you about one of my favorite engagement sessions.
They were visiting California and had a photographer lined up for the big proposal. Their photographer canceled, but thankfully we managed to get in contact and made the proposal happen a couple hours later. Since it was pitch black during the proposal, I offered an engagement session the following day, which was a blast. Shelby and Gonzo are so fun to hang out with and their love is infectious. Enjoy this sweet couple!

Jesse and Robin has a short and intimate ceremony at Table Rock Beach in Laguna. Jesse's mom walked her down the long set of wooden stairs to Robin who was smiling from ear to ear near the water's edge. Jesse's stepdad married them and their closest friends surrounded them as they exchanged vows and rings. After their sweet ceremony, we took plenty of photos, but the best part was when we climbed to the top of the cliff. Our time up there was cut short when the tide started to get high and we all got drenched. Enjoy!
These two are amazing! They are so so sweet! Let me tell you, this was planned SO last minute, like an hour or two before the actual shoot. Another photographer posted she was no longer available to shoot their proposal, but wanted to help him find a new photographer. I reached out assuming he'd already found someone or had already proposed, but guess what! He hadn't proposed and honestly had nearly lost hope in actually proposing with a photographer there to capture it. Turns out I was a God send! We planned to meet an hour later in Laguna Beach at the Montage where he would tell her they were doing family photos. We started with the two of them and as soon as I had my focus, he got down on one knee and well... I'll let the photos do the talking! It was so precious! Look out for the engagement session soon!
Capture real, raw moments.
