Andy + Jordan: San Onofre Elopement

A SAN CLEMENTE ELOPEMENT

Originally, Andy and Jordan were supposed to be married at Duke’s in Malibu, but due to the pandemic, things changed last minute. They started looking at options in south county and found options for a reception, but couldn’t find a beach option for the ceremony, until…. San Onofre. I had photographed quite a few engagement sessions and fun sessions here recently and they asked me about it. We wound up scoping it out about a week before their wedding and it was the perfect place for their ceremony. They were surrounded by their closest family and friends. Unfortunately Jordan’s family couldn’t make it, but nonetheless, it was a perfect day.

Casey + Heather: Point Dume Engagement Session

MALIBU ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Casey and Heather flew out to the west coast to visit their siblings, so instead of doing their engagement session in New York, we met up in Malibu! We originally had some pretty epic New York engagement photo ideas, but of course covid happened and we had to postpone. Heather also didn’t want to take engagement photos until they had a ring, which of course they did for their engagement session at Point Dume.

Since Heather works in fashion, I knew their outfits would be on point! Heather messaged me before the shoot to see if they could plan for 3 outfits and to jump in the ocean at the end. Most couples say “oh yeah we want to do some ocean photos” until they realize they have to get in the ocean (haha!), but Casey and Heather definitely committed!! Scroll to the end for some of my favorite photos from their session.

Germaine + Lisha: Moss Cove Laguna Beach Elopement

A LAGUNA BEACH ELOPEMENT

Germaine and Lisha eloped in Laguna Beach at Moss Cove at sunset. It was so dreamy!! Sunsets in Laguna can be hit or miss because of the cloud coverage, but their elopement turned out GORGEOUS!! They were surrounded by their families who really loved celebrating them. Their little guy also was able to be apart of their ceremony and man was he precious! Scroll down to see some of the sweetest family photos with him!

Hope + Patrick: Afters + Old Town Pasadena Engagement Session

A PASADENA ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Ice cream during your engagement session? Heck yes! I always encourage couples to choose a location or activity that’s meaningful to them. Hope + Patrick love going for ice cream, so of course we had to start their Pasadena engagement session at Afters ice cream. YUM! Their outfits fit the vibe perfectly and the harsh light really added to the vibeeee!
