Joe + Michelle: Palm Springs Wedding

A KORAKIA PENSIONE WEDDING

second shot for Nicole Leever

This venue is epic especially when you’re second shooting for an awesome photographer. I absolutely love working with Nicole because she is such a great photographer and is so creative. She has this perfect way of nailing the shots while also getting creative plus she works with the best couples.

Joe and Michelle were so fun! I spent most of the time with Joe (duh second shooter) and of course hanging with the guys, there’s a little more downtime. We were able to get some fun and creative shots while we waited for the first look. The ceremony was absolutely stunning and the party went on all night. Once their time was done at the venue, the whole crew headed to a restaurant/bar in Palm Springs for an after party with a food truck included.

Bianca + Lennox: Joshua Tree Styled Elopement

A DESERT STYLED ELOPEMENT

We hosted our fourth (re)treat yo’self in the desert and it was so fun! Be brought Bianca on as yoga instructor and her boyfriend Lennox came out for the weekend as well. They volunteered to model for us, so of course we took them up on it! Friar Tux let us borrow this awesome suit and the dress was found at Goodwill of all places!! The shots turned out SO SICK, especially since I shot a roll of film - Kodak Portra 800 - sooo good! That first shot up there is filmmm!

Karissa + Eric: Villa De Amore Vineyard Wedding

A TEMECULA WINERY WEDDING

second shot for Nicole Leever

It's always a blast second shoot for Nicole and this Temecula vineyard wedding was nothing short of awesome. Karissa and Eric have been guests at a few of the weddings I've shot with Nicole, so I instantly recognized them and was totally comfortable around them. They're such a sweet and thoughtful couple who clearly love each other. They shared special moments together from their first look to Eric reading the note Karissa left him to hanging out with their wedding party.
