Vanessa and Felix’s Botanica Oceanside wedding was hands down one of my favorite weddings of the year, and not just because it happened to fall on my birthday. These two were total go-with-the-flow people in the best way. They trusted the process, leaned into the day, and focused on having a genuinely good time with […]

This Amaterra Winery wedding in Portland was hands down the rainiest wedding day I’ve ever photographed, but honestly, it made everything kind of magical. The day started with a sweet ceremony at the church at the University of Portland, which was extra special because it’s where these two met. From there we headed back to […]

This Darlington House wedding in La Jolla was such a sweet, meaningful day from start to finish. The venue itself is such a little hidden gem – tucked in a quiet neighborhood in La Jolla, its Spanish-style architecture is surrounded by lush greenery, and has an old-world charm that makes everything feel romantic. Sara’s unique […]

Lex and Dustin’s La Jolla Cove Rooftop wedding was the perfect blend of coastal elegance and romance. With panoramic ocean views, soft dusty blue florals, and a warm California sunset, their day felt timeless, romantic, and deeply personal. Just before walking down the aisle, Lex surprised Dustin by playing a recorded voice note over the […]

Coronado Beach is hands down one of my favorite beaches in San Diego, so when families that are visiting from out of town contact me to capture their vacation photos, I always jump on the opportunity to photograph at this location. The Jacobs family was so incredibly sweet, and such a joy to photograph. This […]
