I seriously can’t get enough of Mya + Casey. They are the type of people you just instantly love. After a few emails and then a coffee date, I knew these guys would be a blast to hang around. Mya works at Starbucks and actually sends me bags of markdown coffee. Just typing that makes my eyes...

I loved hearing the story of how Crystal + Rich met. They both worked together at a smoothie chain…one was a manager and relationships were off limits…but they made it work. I’m glad they broke the rules…because they are really cute together. We actually met up for their engagement session in April…in a little hidden...

Michelle and Andrew had a lot of ideas for their engagement session, including a tree swing and hanging lanterns. Looking for months without any luck, we found the perfect spot for their engagement session…a secret place in Temecula that I use very rarely. Super rare. So a few weeks ago we met in Temecula with...

I love when my couples find awesome locations. The extra legwork always pays off with images that make me swoon. Irice and Jerwin decided on using a waterfall in Pasadena as their backdrop. The only downside? It was going to be a 1/2 mile hike. No biggie….me and nature are BFF’s. So I invited Jay...

For Rachel and Andrew’s engagement session, I did something a little different. They wanted photos near their new house and on a hill overlooking downtown LA, so I just showed up and we explored. I really loved the challenge. 🙂 After a few minutes in their living room we made our way outside where I...

Diana and Andrew are getting married this May, and when we started talking about an engagement session…I got the feeling that they just wanted to have fun. Engagement sessions are fun, but I knew I had to step up my fun game. If that’s even a thing? 🙂 The closer you get to the wedding...

A few weeks ago I met up with Gretchen + Chadi at the Pasadena City Hall. Boy…Chadi and Gretchen kept me laughing. I think I even threw in a good snorts for good measure. Between jokes of Zoolander and keeping things PG I’m surprised I had any time to take photos.  Luckily I managed to...

I gave Jessica and Josh a challenge: since they are so awesome and unique, I gave them the challenge to make their engagement session just as awesome and unique. I told them to find something they have never seen before, and I will go with them….distance doesn’t matter. And boy they rocked the challenge. We made our way to...

This engagement session was an adventure.  During our first meeting, Annika and Ryan mentioned that they met randomly at Annika’s family cabin in Big Bear. In my mind, I was jumping at the idea of having their engagement session at the cabin…and I was so excited when the two of them had the same idea...

It’s super rare when I book a wedding without meeting the couple. Other than the obvious excuse to go out to eat, I really like to know who I’m spending time with and really want to get along. It’s important to me. So when I booked Liz and Ryan, I just had a feeling that...
