The 1st LA NotWedding: Jenna + Jonathan { Downtown LA Lot 613 Wedding }

Earlier this year, I had the fantastic opportunity to photograph the 1st NotWedding in Downtown LA! For those who don’t know, The NotWedding is a bridal show alternative in the form of a big, fake wedding. “Wedding Guests” are brides-to-be or friends who are there to watch a vow renewal, enjoy a tasty dinner and...

Lily + Jorge { The Carondelet House in Downtown LA Wedding }

On Lily + Jorge’s wedding day, they had some type of amazing time machine that made EVERYTHING run on time. When Jay and I arrived at the girls getting ready location, they were ready, relaxed and eating. Three things we never see. But that was just the start! Lily + Jorge wanted their wedding day...

Paige + Asher { San Marcos Twin Oaks Garden Estate Old School House Wedding }

You cant help but smile when you see Paige + Asher together. Paige is a ball of sunshine, and Asher would do anything for his love. So when we arrived in San Marcos for their wedding day, it didn’t matter that the clouds threatened us with rain…everyone was just so happy I almost forgot that...

Lisa + Shawn { Pasadena Holy Family Church and Westin Hotel Wedding }

Well, in the time I spent around Lisa + Shawn I learned a few things: 1. Shawn loves horses. 2. Lisa makes rad shoes, and shares the love. 3. Shawn can sometimes forget the right type of socks/shoe combo, so it’s good that Lisa helps him out when she can. 4. These two have so...

Tracy + Luke { San Jose Guglielmo Winery Wedding }

Last fall I took a road trip up to Morgan Hill (it’s in between Gillroy and San Jose) to help Niall McCarthy with the wedding of Tracy + Luke. They had their wedding at a fantastic winery called Guglielmo Winery. Other than just being a pretty venue and smelling like yummy garlic because of all...

Brittany + Brandon { Yosemitie California Ahwahnee Hotel Destination Wedding }

Last year I had the pleasure of spending the week in Yosemite with Amanda Patrice. She brought me along to help photograph two weddings at the Ahwahnee Hotel. Both of which blew my mind. By the time we photographed wedding #2, I felt like a pro at that hotel. It’s such a gorgeous area and...

The Not Wedding { LA 2013 }

Later this month I’m going to be a part of The Not Wedding in LA. If you know me, I don’t like to be like “everyone else”. I’ve never been to a bridal show, and I never feel the need to trick people into booking me. If you like me…awesome! But when I first learned...

Through All of Space + Time { Doctor Who Inspired Wedding Day Styled Shoot }

This project was a serious labor or love. Kiera of Jakfoto Films and I are huge fans of the BBC TV show Doctor Who…and one day was just hit with the idea of putting together a chic, Doctor Who styled inspirational shoot. It gave us a excuse to watch more of the show AND try...

Rachel + Spencer { St. John of Orange Wedding }

Jay actually introduced me to Rachel + Spencer. Almost exactly 1 year ago. Funny thing is I was introduced the day I was also helping Rachel move into a new apartment. Nothing says hey like moving personal belongings across the city, right? Rachel + Spencer have been together since High School. Almost 8-9 years if...

Sara + Bryant { Southern California Disneyland Hotel Rose Garden Wedding }

Sara + Bryant was my last wedding of 2012. And boy do these guys know how to throw a party. It’s a little known fact that I’m a huge Disneyland fan. I live only 15 minutes from the park and it’s commonly my favorite place for date night. So about a year ago when I...

A look back { Weddings of 2012 }

I feel so incredibly lucky to be a wedding photographer and can’t picture myself doing anything else. 2012 pushed me father into that realization. This year I traveled to 4 states, photographed over 50 weddings (30 of them with me being the lead photographer, and 6 destination weddings), fell in love, moved my business into...

Kaysha + John { San Juan Capistrano Franciscan Gardens Wedding }

I <3 Kaysha + John. Separate they are awesome, interesting people…but together they are like “wow”. Kaysha is a fellow wedding photographer. An awesome wedding photographer actually. So…when I first received an email from her asking if I was available to shoot her wedding I almost fell out of my chair. Face first, cartoon style....
