This gorgeous Big Bear Lake engagement session was so much fun! When we met up for August and Cassandra’s consultation, plans were just starting to be formed. There were a few venues in the mix and a possible idea of an elopement and later reception. Cassandra already knew I was the photographer for them. We […]

This incredible Greenspot Farms rustic summer wedding with Jessica and Chris! I’ve photographed a few weddings and events at this venue in Mentone (just outside of Redlands) and it never fails to be so charming! There are goats, horses, and other farm animals further back on the property and just the prettiest areas for the […]

This Downtown Disney engagement session with Paul and Megan is a whole theme. In July Paul got in touch with me for his Disneyland proposal. His original photographer fell through and our mutual good friend recommended me. By some miracle I was free and we made it happen without a hitch! I tried to act […]

A Balboa Park San Diego Elopement on 2/2 (fun date am I right?!) This was pretty special. Victoria told me about meeting Joey in pretty smooth kind of way. Joey was judging a work competition that she was entered in. He came up to her later to tell her how well she had done but […]

Darian and Christina and their The Links at Summerly spring wedding! Darian has known Antoine and I for a many years now. He always told me how much his girlfriend Christina were similar. So for years I heard about her and how much we would get along. They had been together for years which meant […]

Blake is an old friend and just one of the greatest guys and I met Lexi the day of our Redlands summer engagement and of course immediately adored her. The only word I could think of to describe her personality and smile is effervescent. I could definitely see why Blake knew he would marry her […]

This Redlands summer country California wedding was on a private property overlooking the beautiful surrounding hills. It was a incredible location and hard to believe it wasn’t a wedding venue but someone’s home! Jayce and Kristen met while Kristen was visiting family in Texas and they knew they loved each other that first weekend that […]

For this Yucaipa summer engagement, I knew the perfect location to take Michael and Alexandria to! Alex found me on Instagram through several posts from a venue, The Retreat in Corona (check out the wedding that led her to me here). She loved the emotional reaction of the groom seeing his bride walk up the […]

We ventured out on this Santa Monica Pier spring engagement.  The city and pier had sentimental meaning for these two because it was where Hector asked Araceli to be his girlfriend.  What we didn’t think of was that it was also Saint Patrick’s Day and that everyone else in California would want to be out […]

I loved, loved, loved this Newport Beach Balboa Inn spring wedding with Daniel and Mallory! This rainy day Newport Beach, California wedding required a few modifications due to weather.  I drove out the day before to meet Mallory and Daniel at their rehearsal and scout out the venue. Immediately I loved how sweet they were […]
