his past week, Stephen and I FINALLY were able to coordinate the engagement shoot of Laurie and MIke in their hometown ofHermosa Beach. We walked the gorgeous green belt and headed down the colorful streets that lead to the beach. I first met Laurie and MIke in Coronado. We chatted over a cup of coffee about wedding details, scheduling and most importantly, photography. I just knew from the second I met these two I wanted to get them in front of my camera. I cannot say enough good things about these two. They were set up on a blind date... View Full Post

his past weekend, I met Susan and Ian in Laguna Beach for their ADORABLE engagement session. These two are nothing but bunches of fun. I found myself smiling throughout the ENTIRE session behind the camera. After shooting in downtown Laguna Beach, we headed to Crystal Cove to finish the shoot. On the way to the second half of the session, Susan and Ian told us how they met. They got to know each other as just "friends" during college at UCSD. Nothing really seemed to spark serious interest until they found cheap tickets to Chicago from San... View Full Post

received an email a while back from a sweet girl named Sima. I didn't know much about Sima except for the small amount in an e-mail she had sent me about her upcoming wedding date and details.

I finally was able to meet Sima and her much talked about fiance Alex in downtown Phoenix for a VERY fun engagement shoot. The one thing I couldn't... View Full Post

Finally, I now have a reason to go back and pay a visit to some of the NICEST people in town. After learning that Angie's parents have owned this local restaurant in town for thirty years, I immediately knew these people had big hearts. I watched their interaction with the guests around them and I immediately knew I not only wanted to work with Angie and... View Full Post

was on my way to a wedding this past year in Bakersfield when I received a phone call from Britney about her wedding. The second we began talking over the phone, I knew Britney was a bride I definitely wanted to work with. She's easy going, super fun, and just plain hilarious. After she mentioned her little Boston Terrier would be walking down the aisle, I think it sealed the deal :) As I got to know Britney and David a bit more through e-mail, I learned that David is from Nancy France! Britney and David have an amazing story of how they met.... View Full Post

She has a enduring spirit about her and I feel so honored to be photographing Sarah and Florin's wedding this May! We met at the Griffith Observatory for Sarah and Florin's engagement session this past weekend. I wasn't able to meet Florin until the... View Full Post
