Who knew that downtown Riverside could give us major NYC vibes for an engagement session. When we started brainstorming locations I knew that downtown would bring architecture and urban development that you want from a city couples session. Jordan and Kolton were down for whatever use of light and life that caught my eye. We […]

Elyse and Tyler’s Alta Vista Country Club Wedding was put together in two weeks. Yup – TWO WEEKS (well sort of). You see, originally these two planned to wed on her parent’s property only a 10 minutes from this venue. Sadly, a few weeks prior to the wedding the contractors working to finalize final renovations […]

When Serena and Richie told me they wanted to go somewhere green and beautifully inspiring, Idyllwild felt right.

Winter desert engagement sessions are a must for California couples. You see, we’ve got amazing deserts in Southern California but the desert it way too hot for me once summer rolls around. In the winter, however, you’ll find crisp nights and cool breezes that make adventuring through the many deserts of SoCal the perfect weekend […]

A classic, romantic wedding day at the beautiful Mitten Building in Redlands, CA.

From the beautiful dark wood barn to the fairytale inspired ceremony space, Galway Downs Temecula is one of my favorite Temecula wedding venues. There are four locations to pick from when booking your special day: the carriage house, the oak falls, the meadows, and the village paddock. My personal favorites are the carriage house and […]

Imagine exchanging your vows with only your closest people surrounding you on a beautiful sunny San Diego beach. It’s what K and G decided to do, only one month before they were set to have a large 150 person backyard wedding. And man, were they overwhelmed with joy on this day because they chose to […]

You couldn’t even imagine the adventure these two had to go through in order to bring their Joshua Tree National Park wedding to life. After replanning an entire wedding while in grad school AND living out of state, these two were for all intents and purposes “wedding-ed out”. That didn’t stop them from having a […]

This Big Bear Winter Engagement Session wasn’t quite as snowy as we hoped for (that’s what you get for early winter in California) but that didn’t stop Sarah and Jon from enjoying every second. We went to one of my favorite little secluded trails that is full of pretty pines, open meadows and a dirt […]
