Let me tell you — I was so stoked when Sophie reached out and asked me to take her engagement photos. I was her camp counselor so many years ago, back when I just was starting photography. It was really cool to see things come full circle and to see her engaged. I had a blast with her and Jeremiah at Long Beach City Hall.
Wooooo, wedding day in t-minus 8 days!! I can’t wait to celebrate these two so soon. I had such a blast hanging with them and their pup Scrappy at Shaw’s Cove in Laguna Beach for their engagement session. They brought champagne and a blanket for a cute setup on the beach at sunset. I can’t wait to see what they have planned for their wedding day!
Also shout out to Karissa’s dad who came to watch Scrappy when he wasn’t needed for photos. Pro tip: bring a friend or family member to hang with your pup during downtime or to take your pup off your hands during the second half of the shoot.
With Brandon and Natalie’s Cabo wedding coming up, I can’t help but reminisce our time in London together. They stayed at the London EDITION who was nice enough to let us take all of these photos there! I took a redeye from New York and met them at their hotel basically as soon as I landed. I nearly fell asleep between outfits / while they were changing, but somehow managed to make it through and we left with some awesome photos! Can’t wait for their wedding in Cabo!!!
Amanada and Jonathan booked me for their September 2020 wedding at the Hyatt Huntington Beach, but of course we know what 2020 had in store. They postponed to September 2021 and decided to do something smaller in New York where all of their family lives. I unfortunately wasn’t able to make the trip, but I was able to be a part of their reception/family session at the Hyatt. Every wedding is so different, but 2020 really brought out the intimacy and heart of what a wedding day is. It was really special to see their families come together.
Brent and Kara got married at the Dana Point Harbor at Aventura Ocean Club. It was absolutely beautiful. They were surrounded by their closest family and friends on the most perfect day — hello sunset photos!!! Prior to their wedding, I’d taken plenty of engagement photos at the harbor, but wow to photograph a wedding there is amazing!!!
Capture real, raw moments.
