Marcus & Jason

Marcus and Jason realized they didn't need a massive wedding and reception in order to celebrate their incredible love for each other.  Instead, they selected a handful of close friends and headed off to the desert.  After a relaxed morning by the pool and getting ready in a great AirBnB rental, we all jumped in the cars together and drove off to find a location in the always inspiring and vast Joshua Tree National Park.  We arrived as the sun was just creeping behind the boulder covered hills.  The air completely still and crisp.  They exchanged the vows written for each other and we ended the evening exploring the rocks and enjoying the sunset together.

Celena & Logan

If you are going to get married in the a courthouse... Santa Barbara should be your first pick.  Celena and Logan had a very small group of close friends and family, yet, it couldn't have been more gorgeous.  I have known Celena since third grade, so this wedding was a total dream.  My goal is to really get to know my clients before the wedding day;  learn who they are as a couple, what makes their love unique, how they share space together.  I believe this truly paves they way to great wedding photography.

Sharron & Martin

Natural outdoor beauty has been the corner stone of the relationship between Martin and Sharron.  It was so appropriate that they chose a secluded log house under the shadow of Mt. Shasta in Oregon for their wedding vows.  It was also perfect that we had rush to move all the reception tables inside as a massive rainstorm rolled in, complete with rainbows and thunder. 

Amanda & Chris

Rachel & Davia

The love and connection shared between these two beautiful souls was palatable.  This wedding was more than the union of two people as often is the case when children are involved.  This added such a powerful element to their day and I could easily relate having two children myself that have gone through a divorce.  Capturing their day was truly and honor for me.

Angela & Brett

The stone house at the Temecula Creek Inn is one of Southern California's most intimate, private and truly historic wedding venues.  Hidden deep on the property and surrounded by a grove of oak trees, Angela and Brett exchanged their wedding vows surrounded by their closes friends and family.

Lucy & Cameron

Weddings aren't just a union between two people.  They are the union of two incredibly long lineages.  Each with their own histories that trace back hundreds, even thousands of years.  Lucy brought along her Filipino heritage and Cameron embodied his Scottish heritage;  each with their own family trees, history, food, traditions, music, family and customs.  I truly felt like I was capturing an historic event.  

Milton & Daniel

Milton and Daniel are two courageous men.  Their ceremony was the first same sex wedding to take place at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion in the middle of the historic Balboa Park, San Diego.  As they walked to the alter, they played "Same Love" by Macklemore, garnering the attention of dozens of tourists and folks who were lucky enough to be walking by.  There wasn't a dry eye in the park that afternoon and I was SO proud them for their bold declaration and the powerful public statement of their love.
