This session will go down in history as one of my favorite shoots of all time. If you’re wondering why, I’m gonna tell you! Take a look at this Big Sur sunset engagement session. If you’ve never been to Big Sur, GO! If you’ve ever been to Big Sur, then you know that it’s one […]

As a photographer I’m always trying to mix things up and make sure I’m not telling all my couples to do the exact same poses. However, I have a handful of shots I make sure I include in every wedding gallery! On top of that I have a documentary approach to wedding photos, of course […]

Let me tell you about one of the most amazing engagement sessions I’ve ever had – the kind that makes me love what I do even more!  It will go down as one of my favorites of ALL TIME!!! The sunset. The location. This couple. All of it. I recently photographed Gabby and Kyle, a […]

Listen up!!! Your partner wants the proposal documented. Even if they desire something intimate and just the two of you… hire a photographer to hide out and take photos! Proof or it didn’t happen, am I right?! Just kidding, but seriously I have yet to meet someone who says they wouldn’t want photos of their proposal. I am here to tell you how to plan a perfect surprise proposal!

Sometimes the day of your session the weather is “less than ideal.” But as long as it’s safe and if you’re down to embrace the weather that Mother Nature throws your way… I promise it will be worth it! Some of my favorite sessions I have ever had are when it’s overcast, windy as heck, or even snowing. So if you have a shoot scheduled and it starts to rain or it looks like it’s going to rain, here are a few ideas on how to embrace it…

Max and Alexa’s wedding day was STUNNING! I had the opportunity to second shoot for Briquelle for this beautiful couple’s big day and I am so grateful for the chance I had to work alongside her. This was the first wedding I shot in Phoenix since moving from San Diego and I fell in love with desert weddings on this day. Was it hot? Hot is an understatement. Was it worth? Ohhh yessss!

I think sometimes props get a bad rap but they can totally elevate your photos! I used to think props meant cheesy trinkets and random things you hold, but that’s not the case. I love when couples include items that help tell a story, so here are a few ways you can include props in your shoot…

This wedding was absolutely stunning. Jaw dropping. The details were incredible, the love was tangible, and the day was perfect! One of my favorite San Diego photographers, Shelby Paige, asked me if I was available to second shoot this wedding alongside her and of course I made myself available for the opportunity! 

I adore these two, I was so stoked when they asked me to capture their elopement day! Miki, Morgan, and I sat down in the early months of 2022 in a coffee shop in San Diego to start planning their elopement. We were starting from ground zero when it came to planning, they weren’t sure exactly where they wanted to elope but knew they wanted the adventure elopement and loved the desert. Joshua Tree was on the table (which is always a favorite for me) but once we started looking at photos of Sedona elopements they were sold!

J & A flew to Arizona from Houston for their engagement shoot and I was so honored to capture this moment for them! When Alice first reached out to me she told me that she was wanting to rent a classic car for their shoot, which I’m a huge fan of. I did some location scouting, chatted with the owner of this insanely beautiful Porsche, and we formed a plan for a sunrise session.
