It’s always a special trip when I get to photograph weddings for family and this trip was no exception. Last year Nolan & Kristian asked if I could fly out to North Carolina to photograph their wedding and I was of course over the moon to have their wedding date open on my schedule so […]

Emily & Nathan: Ritter Farms – Cle Elum WA
I’m so excited today to share Emily & Nathan’s wedding at Ritter Farms in Cle Elum, Washington! Before the wedding I’ll admit, I did panic inside just a little when I learned how many photographers were in the bridal party (including the bride) but they were all so incredibly sweet, kind and full of compliments from the […]
Beathany & Beau: JW Marriott Palm Desert
When I first met Bethany & Beau it was at their engagement session at El Matador State Beach. They both were so kind and even stayed until just after the sunset to squeeze in a few more photos with the gorgeous warm light we had. Bethany and Beau had their first date in September last […]
Southern California Barn Wedding Venues
I grew up in Oregon and used to play in an old barn on my Grandparents property. Some of my favorite childhood memories were made playing in an old barn so I’ve long had a slight obsession with barns. When I hear people talk about having a barn wedding in Southern California it’s music to my […]
The Villa San Juan Capistrano Wedding
I love Koy & Michael’s gorgeous wedding that I shot with Brett Hickman Photographers at The Villa San Juan Capistrano. So much rustic charm at this venue! It had me swooning for sure! During the 1930s, itinerant workers lived in the house while harvesting walnuts, citrus, and other crops. It has since been extensively renovated but still has a lot […]
Danielle & Jake: Lace and Mint Green Wedding
When I get to photograph the wedding of someone I’ve know for a little while it makes it that much more sweet because I know a little bit more about their family and just how much this wedding day is anticipated. I’ve know Danielle (or DeeJay to all her friends/fam) for a while and was […]
Lexa & Eric: Oak Grove Church
Lexa & Eric said their vows earlier this month at the cutest little white country church that Lexa found in Rickreall, Oregon. Oak Grove Church was established in 1882 and is surrounded by vineyards, hayfields and orchards for miles. The church and gorgeous backdrop made for the perfect place to have a wedding! These two […]
Aline & Nicholas: Julianni’s Italian Ristorante
Nicholas & Aline got married at Father Serra Parish in the desert of Southern California and then held their reception at Julianni’s Italian Ristorante. The two of them first met while working at the same hospital. Nick would come in early and she would stay late hoping they’d run into each other. Aline mentioned that she knew when […]
Francesca & Ryan: Heritage Hill Historical Park
This wedding at Heritage Hill Historical Park in Lake Forest, CA was filled with simple rustic elegance. I loved their vintage style complete with Francesca wearing her mother’s wedding gown and the groomsmen wearing suspenders. I enjoyed shooting alongside Brett Hickman as his second shooter for this wedding last year and wish Francesca & Ryan all the best!
Amy & David: A Hyatt Regency Wedding | Valencia, CA
The one thing that stuck out to me most about Amy & David was probably from the very first email she sent me when she said “This is a first marriage for both of us, and feels extra special because we found each other a little later in life when we weren’t sure we ever […]
