I’ve known Kristy for about 5 years and needless to say I was ecstatic when she called me last week and told me she got engaged!  Kristy already had amazing ideas for her engagement session and wanted it photographed at the San Diego County fair.  The only issue was that the fair ends July 4th […]

I really do get the most wonderful couples in all the world.  Even at almost 50 weddings a year I still seem to get excited and anxious before each wedding I photograph.  Maybe it’s because each wedding is so different and unique, or maybe it’s because my couples are so awesome and I want to […]

It’s always a fabulous day when two wonderful people are joined in a celebration of love.  This is the story of Natalia and Ryan’s special day. The day started off at the historic La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla overlooking the Pacific Ocean.  Natalia and her bridesmaids all looked so beautiful.   Sometimes when you first […]

One of the greatest parts of my job is being able to hang out and connect with my couples.  Engagement sessions are the perfect opportunity for us to build a little rapport, as well get you some beautiful photos of you and your fiancé.  I always encourage my couples to think outside the box when […]

Even though I have photographed hundreds of weddings in my career, I still get so excited to be such a vital part of my couples’ day. Each weekend, I have the privilege of meeting new family members, experiencing new customs, and my favorite- tasting different flavors of the wedding cake. My job never gets stale! […]

I just love photographing engagement sessions.  Unlike the hectic schedule of a busy wedding day, engagement sessions allow me to take a little more time and even move in between locations with wardrobe changes.  It’s a wonderful way for me to get to know my couple, build some rapport and great way for my couples […]

It was a perfect day for a wedding at the J.W. Marriott in Palm Desert.  Not just any wedding though, this would be Kate and Adam’s day to be joined together for the rest of their lives. I had looked forward to their wedding since I first booked it last year. The J.W. Marriott is […]

I have been photographing so many awesome engagement sessions recently that it’s been hard to showcase them all on the blog.  Leah and Joe’s is just one I had to feature and I’m sure as you look through the images you’ll see why. Despite us living near the beautiful Pacific Ocean here in Southern California, […]

Diane and Arty and just two amazing people who love each other so much.  I still remember when I first Skyped with them and talked about their special day over a year ago.  They were easy going and only had one request, they had to have their engagement portrait session photographed up in the Carmel […]

What a wonderful wedding Chih and Joe put on for their family and friends.  They chose the beautiful Darlington House in La Jolla to celebrate their special day.  The natural, timeless look of the historic wedding venue provided us with a gorgeous backdrop.  Lush, green gardens with a mixture of Spanish and Victorian architecture added […]
