Some advice from an insanely happy just-married bride. 💞☺️ Dear future brides: Please, girlfriend: Write your vows ahead of time… I mean… months. My only real stress of my big day was staying up all night before our wedding, practically in tears, trying to think of the perfect words to say. Doesn’t help knowing your […]
Dilyana and Tyler are MARRIED! These two hold a special place in my heart. Have you ever met someone that you just immediately felt like they could be best friends? Or maybe more. Maybe like family? That’s the case with Dil and Ty! (And their entire family!) These two adventurers found each other five years […]
Celeste and Matt first met at a friends party where they were both were smitten with each other. But it wasn’t until a year later they would cross paths again. After secretly thinking of each other for the whole time in between, they bumped into each other one night in town, exchanged #s and the rest was history! After a […]
Kaylyn and Nick met in high school, and it wasn’t long until the lines of friendship blurred and they had fallen madly for each other. They secretly dated for a few months, but eventually it became too obvious and you could clearly see that they were craaazy for each other! Nick proposed to Kaylyn in Vegas, […]
I first met Rana + Ryan this past spring on a dusty photo-adventure in the sand dunes for their engagement shoot. We enjoyed hours of talking about travel and life, and it was there, while hiking up-and-down the rolling desert hills in search of the ‘perfect dune’ that I very quickly fell in love with these two. So, I’ve been looking forward […]
Samantha and Jason love going out for good eats or comedy shows in the heart of the big city where they live, but when it comes to their favorite thing to do together, I think Samantha said it best: “Cancelled plans are our crack!” So heck! Why not capture them doing what they do best!? […]

Classy and Modern :: Quirky and playful – these two are the perfect cocktail mix of both! This happy-go-lucky couple met in a nightclub about seven and a half years ago – so it’s only fitting that they chose to get married at a very unique and special location: The Hyde Nightclub, complete with their very own Bellagio Fountain […]
Brittany + Evan love nothing more (other than each other + their fur babies, of course!) than hopping on a airplane and going on a new adventure together! In the last five years they’ve traveled all through Europe, Caribbean, Hawaii, along with many other destinations, and plan one big trip together each year. For their engagement session, Brittany and Evan wanted something […]

Have you ever felt buried in the mass of photographers currently in the market? Like, totally right? How on earth do you stand out?!

The ‘light and airy’ photography style is popular among for portrait and wedding photographers, and is the style I gravitate towards in my work. So, a common question I get is how to edit for this look. I’ve shared a few photography tutorials breaking down my portrait editing process in Lightroom. But before thinking about […]
One of the biggest questions photographers have when first getting started is what gear is worth investing in? If this is you: let me tell you, I’ve been there! I know what it’s like to lust after all the newest gorgeous cameras + lenses. Of course, we’d all love to be in the position to say […]

Regina and Mike are adventurous spirits who love being outside and exploring new places together. Their current home is in San Francisco, but they share the dream of one day making enough money to live on a yacht and travel the world!

I’m excited to share that two of my good friends, Traci and Case, are officially shackled together for life! Case is an amazingly talented sports writer, and Traci is a wedding coordinator and co-owner of the fabulous Scheme Events. I love Scheme for their design-oriented approach to wedding planning, and couldn’t wait to see what […]
This is a story of boy meets girl. While Allan and Lara weren’t looking for love, it found them unexpectedly. March of last year they met in an online forum and instantly hit it off, starting a tradition of daily talks and weekly long-distance movie dates courtesy of Netflix. After three months of getting to know […]
Earlier this summer Jayse and I traveled to tranquil Pacific Northwest coastal town of La Push, WA for the special occasion of Holly and Vince’s wedding! What made this even more special was that La Push is very same place that Holly and Vince fatefully met for the first time exactly 3 years prior, to […]
It’s hard to know where to start with Liz and Jean. These two have become amazing friends to both Jayse and I through several fun photo-shoots and mini-adventures together over the past few years. You may remember them from their L.A. County Fair & Griffith Park engagement session that was featured on SMP earlier this year. […]
