El Matador Beach is one of my favorite beaches of all time. If you haven't had a chance to visit it yet, I highly recommend you do! The rock formation is just stunning, it gets me every time! Luckily, since it was December, there was barley a soul on the beach, giving us free roam to shoot where ever we'd like. Gabby and Johnny were troopers baring the chilly December weather...
One of my clients’ favorite locations for engagement shoots is Malibu Creek! I definitely get why - it offers beautiful rolling hills, gorgeous airy light, and killer sunsets! I had so much fun with Carli and Roy two weeks ago — as you can see, they were old pros when it came to taking photos. They were so natural when they were with each other, it was as if I wasn’t...
Meredith and Andy’s engagement session a couple weeks ago couldn’t have been more beautiful. We spent the first half of the shoot at Charmless Wilderness Park, then made out way down to the beach for the second half. I hadn’t done a shoot at the beach in a while, so getting to photograph at the always stunning El Matador in Malibu was a ton of fun with these lovebirds (but...
Last month, Caitlin and Parker’s wedding took me to the stunning Carondelet House in Downtown Los Angeles. The most elegant and romantic backdrop for anyone to say their I Do's, everywhere you turn is just about as picturesque as it gets. From all of the old exposed brick and exposed high beam ceilings, to the beautiful courtyards with twinkly lights, to the indoor candle light ceremony, it’s a total dream...
Malibu Creek has certainly proven to be the hot spot for engagement sessions this wedding season, but you’ll hear no complaints from me, since it’s one of my favorite backdrops. Getting to shoot Norma and JR’s engagement photos there last week was such a blast - the love these two have for one another is undeniable. Together for ten years, they are finally walking down the aisle and I couldn’t...
Elizabeth and Jeremy’s engagement session is particularly near and dear to my heart because Elizabeth is a great friend of mine. I’m so excited with how these photos turned out because, I mean, not only are they some beautiful human beings, but these two really planned everything out - from their outfits, to the props, to the different locations - everything you see is significant to their relationship in some...
Well, I don’t normally do this, but Sergio just wrote their story to perfection, so I’m not even going to try and put it in my own words! I had the most amazing time hanging out with these two last Monday evening! "Kaitlin and I first met while both working at Westside Neighborhood School. She was in the middle of her first year teaching 6th grade math and science, while...
Man, was my engagement shoot with Kendall and Luis a blast a few weeks ago! With Malibu Creek being a hot spot for engagement photos this wedding season, Kendall and Luis wanted to spice things up a bit for their shoot, and they certainly did…with some bubbly and play-on-word props (including a pineapple, which is what Luis’ last name Pina means, in Spanish)! It’s not every day you get to...
To switch things up a bit, instead of the usual sunset shoot, my engagement session with Sydney and Nick was at sunrise! Kicking this Cal State University Long Beach Engagement Session off just as the day was beginning, Sydney and Nick were total troopers and were up and ready to go long before I even had my first sip of coffee! These two were a total joy to be around and...
Michelle and Adam’s love story first began in 2011 at Lake Havasu, while celebrating Labor Day Weekend. This was the first time they had ever met, and little did they know at the time, it was just the beginning of forever. After initially meeting, Michelle and Adam went about their separate lives and left it to fate to bring them back together. Running into each other a year later down in San...
