FINALLY we get to this super fun fall Lake Gregory engagement session! We’ve been talking about this for so long and when the day arrived that it was hard to believe it was finally here! It’s so much fun to finally meet a couple in person after spending months getting to know them. I ask […]

This beautiful garden elopement/micro wedding felt so far away from everything like a magical world tucked away where no one could see. There was even a fairy garden!! Now you can’t tell from the looks of it, but this secret garden isn’t Narnia but on property owned by Alex’s grandparents. The last time we saw […]

For this summer engagement in Crestline, we headed up the mountains to cooler weather in hopes of feeling more like fall (California missed the memo that it was October already). The last time we visited Lake Gregory for an engagement session it had snowed the week before but cleared up just in time! Jesse and […]

You’re in for a treat with Jen and Joe’s Idyllwild Pine Cove elopement! Joe and Jen met in the military and soon found they were going through similar seasons of heartbreak and change. Joe later texted her offering his support in their shared experiences and they began a long distance friendship as they individually navigated […]

Oh my goodness are you in for a treat with this Hesperia desert wedding! So much had changed since Michael and Alex’s engagement session where we frolicked in overgrown fields after a record breaking rainy winter.

You’re in for a foggy treat with this Chino Hills Grand Ave Park engagement! OH MY GOODNESS.

When her and Peter started planning their wedding we had many messages helping with the venue […]

First things first, this Fairview Park sunrise engagement in Costa Mesa was so much fun because Tess and Evan are a BLAST! I have a handy dandy engagement session guide to help all of my couples prepare and plan. After sending that on over we also came up with the plan for a sunrise engagement […]

You last saw Allen and Elena at their engagement session in Walnut and it was finally time for their Lake Arrowhead Elopement.  Allen grew up in Walnut and chose the locations for their engagement photos based on areas that were near and dear to him. In our our initial emails Michigan girl in Elena and […]

For Amanda and Kristopher’s Lytle Creek summer engagement, we took full advantage of their Hidden Acres wedding venue! I typically like to scout a venue I haven’t worked before and it worked out perfectly since Hidden Acres is so wonderful and lets their couples have free use of the property for engagement sessions if there […]

This Dana Point Ocean Institute Elopement is one fun story! Just the week before I was at an engagement session (check that out here!) when I was approached by a woman asking if I was a photographer. I gave her my card and she said she was an officiant that might have a wedding. On […]
