Matthew + Nichole: Laguna Beach Maternity Session

A TOP OF THE WORLD MATERNITY SESSION

It’s truly a joy to get to photograph milestones for such sweet friends and clients. If this is your first time seeing Matthew and Nichole on the blog, Nichole and I went to the same church growing up. I met Matthew at his cousin’s wedding. A little over a year later, I took their engagement photos and about 6 months after that I photographed their wedding. I was so stoked when Nichole contacted me about maternity photos. We met at one of my favorite locations, Top of the World, at golden hour. It turned out BEAUTIFUL!

Bret + Marlene: Beverly Hills Couple Shoot

A BEVERLY HILLS COUPLE SHOOT

Bret and I have a few mutual friends, so I was pumped when he reached out about doing a shoot. We pulled together some ideas and inspiration then met up in Beverly Hills at one of his favorite locations. He’s a photographer as well, so I definitely felt the pressure leading up to this shoot. It turned out so fun and creative. Thanks Bret for sharing your spot with me!

Michael + Nicole: Riverside Backyard Wedding

A RIVERSIDE BACKYARD WEDDING

Michael and Nicole held a beautiful backyard wedding before backyard weddings were the new norm! They picked a venue with a huge outdoor space, which is exactly what full weddings during covid look like and need. Of course there are intimate elopements for the most part, but for the couples who don’t want to reduce their guest list, keep reading! :)

Alyssa + Gustavo: Brooklyn Bridge Engagement Session

A BROOKLYN BRIDGE ENGAGEMENT SESSION

My only trip to New York this year was to photograph Alyssa and Gustavo’s engagement on the Brooklyn Bridge and their civil ceremony at New York City Hall. We met early on the Brooklyn Bridge to avoid any crowds, but man that wind!! It was so so cold the day we did their engagement photos - all of our hands were frozen!! They were such troopers though. I’m shocked they were down to take their hats and scarves off for a few shots. We cut the engagement session a little short because we were all so cold and got breakfast instead. I loved hanging with these two and hope our paths cross again soon!
