When I met Colette and Sean for the first time for our engagement session, I knew we were going to be a good fit!

Rachel and Dallas!! I don’t even know what to say about these two. Dallas is a towering 6’5″, and she is a petite maybe 5’3″? Which, of course, can make doing a sweet, intimate, romantic bridal session just a little bit harder due to their height difference! The good news? They were absolutely crazy for...
My goodness, I have LOVED making these fun ‘sneak peeks’ for wedding films!

Who doesn’t love mini bundts- from nothing bundt cakes (the white...
Gianna & Marcus- I honestly feel like I will NEVER get sick of sharing images from this wedding. Held at Galway Downs in Temecula, Ca, truly a venue of DREAMS. I was lucky enough to shoot twice there in two weeks, and I have never been more impressed with a venue as I was there....
Every couple has a different dream for their day. A different feel, different goals, a unique vibe! Some go for classic and elegant, others whimsical and romantic.
