Picture this: a sun-drenched San Francisco afternoon, the perfect backdrop for an engagement session that would make even the most jaded of hearts skip a beat. Savannah and Brandon, dressed to the nines in formal attire, were ready to embark on a whirlwind of a day – with an engagement party right after our shoot. Talk about dedication!

Kayla and Will’s wedding at the stunning Grand Island Mansion in Walnut Grove, California was nothing short of elegant! The venue, an Italian Renaissance style villa, provided a picture-perfect backdrop for their special day. The ceremony was filled with beautiful moments as Kayla and Will exchanged heartfelt vows. Their love and joy were palpable, and it was an honor to capture these precious memories on film.

When Taylor reached out and asked me to candidly capture the moment he proposed to Sam, I immediately that I had to say yes! We decided to do the shoot on the beautiful cliffs of Pacifica, California, with the picturesque ocean views providing an ideal backdrop. I knew that the location would add an extra touch of magic to the moment, and I was ecstatic to begin!

As I looked through the lens of my camera during my recent family photo session, I was struck by the beauty of the Filoli Gardens in Woodside, California. The vibrant flowers blended perfectly with the impressive brick architecture, creating an almost ethereal atmosphere – truly a Secret Garden vibe! But, as a photographer, I know that there’s something deeper to it than just capturing a beautiful scene.

Thinking back on Leona and Tim’s engagement session at Balboa Park in San Diego, I am struck by the profound emotions and experiences that photography can bring. It’s hard to describe the feeling of capturing the perfect moment – the golden light illuminating a couple in love, the raw emotion of a candid shot, and the joy and excitement that comes with exploring a new location with a camera in hand!
