Despite the significant impact COVID-19 has had on the photography industry, there are still ways to shoot! And as students graduated this spring, there were still grad photos to be done!

Have you ever heard of a SURPRISE wedding? Neither had I. Until some of Seth and Eleanor’s friends approached me and explained the situation. They wanted a wedding, but didn’t want to plan it. So they got some incredible friends to help them do it - all without telling them ANYTHING about it. Including when it was. This turned out to be one of the most memorable days in my wedding shooting career. Such a unique experience, one that I would recommend - if you trust your friends enough!

Back to the days when the Griffith Observatory was open and the weather was great!! Aren’t you all missing those days? I sure know I am…

They say better late than never… And in this crazy time of quarantine, it seems appropriate to throw it back to better times - the holidays - when our biggest worry was how we didn’t have enough time in the day. And since I never blogged these photos, thought it as good a time as any!

Let me start out by saying that the Ebell in Los Angeles is a fabulous venue. 10/10 would recommend to any bride and groom considering it. It also never hurts when you get to photograph such a great, and hilarious couple. What a magical night for Michelle and Garrett that I captured with the help of my fantastic second shooter Lizzi!

Another December means more Christmas family photos! 

This time with the Rodriguez clan out in Santa Clarita in our lovely LA Christmas weather. 

Finally trying to catch up on some blogging, and am FINALLY sharing from pictures from Chris and Courtney’s wedding back in August! Thank you Cherie Starke from Cherie Stark Photography for helping assist with this one :) 

Some days are just great. And this was one of those days. Abby and Jimmie’s wedding was one of the weddings I was anticipating most in 2019, and it did not disappoint. They were absolutely amazing to work with, and the venue, the weather, and the people were fabulous. Shot at Leo Carillo Ranch alongside my second shooter Jessica Wardwell, I was blessed to be a part of it. 

When you have donuts, sparklers, tacos, and dancing, what do you get? The best kind of nights. Rachel and Shawn’s wedding was just one of those fun nights that reminds me why I love shooting.  And did I mention they wanted to make a stop at In-N-Out on the way to their reception? How can you possibly say no to that. Lizzi and I couldn’t. 

I need more San Diego weddings in my life. I love it when I get the chance to leave the LA area and shoot somewhere completely new! This time Lizzi and I went down to the Manchester Grand Hayatt in San Diego to shoot Russ and Alex’s beautiful ocean front wedding.
