From the moment I arrived at the venue, I knew that this wedding would be different. Disco balls adorned the tables and entry tables, handmade paper flowers set as the sweetheart table backdrop; and what’s a wedding without a full blown pretzel bar?! It was as if the couple had transported their guests to a whimsical wonderland, where joy and celebration were the only things that mattered.

Sarah, Lucas, and I have a history. I was so so excited when Sarah wanted to do another family session together, this time at one of my favorite places on earth, Carmel-by-the-Sea. Little did Sarah know that this family photoshoot would take an unexpected and exciting turn.

Marina and Jake were an absolute joy to photograph! I had the opportunity to take engagement photos for them on the breathtaking Oregon coast just a month before the big day, and knew their wedding photos would come out just as stunning. It was a thrilling prospect to capture the love and happiness between these two souls on their special day.

To say I am obsessed with this wedding day would be an understatement. I want to share with you an incredible experience I had the pleasure of being a part of: Shaneel and Gemi’s breathtaking coastal wedding at the Pacific House in the heart of Monterey, CA. As a wedding photographer and videographer, we had the honor of capturing their special day through both photographs and film.

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!
