This engagement session was extra special because Max is actually my little brother.  Getting to photograph him and the love of his life, Jenn, was such an honor and just so fun.  I was thankful they were up for an adventure hiking around the cliffs and beaches of Palos Verdes because I love how the […]

Lauren & Alex decided to have their engagement photos taken at a beautiful beach in Del Mar, California.  We were so lucky with the most beautiful light and colorful sunset which was the perfect way to end the session. I had so much fun walking the beach and getting to know the two of them […]

I had the pleasure of photographing Kristen & Steven’s wedding back in 2015, so to be able to celebrate their love with an anniversary session six years later was such a special treat.  The two lovebirds both got dressed up in their wedding attire which was very special to them, including Kristen’s Claire Pettibone wedding gown.  We […]

Olivia & Geoffrey are actually getting married in […]
