I peer pressured Mark and Brianna into this downtown Riverside sunrise engagement! Initially we came up with the plan to avoid any crowds but rescheduling to August brought a double benefit of avoiding the summer heat! They loved the idea of using the architecture of the downtown area and the added perk of heading over […]

Well…let me just say how healing this summer engagement in Walnut, California was. Allen and Elena got engaged in the time of Covid. Instead of riding the wave of uncertainty we’ve all been navigating, they planned an incredibly intimate Lake Arrowhead ceremony that would’t be derailed by a pandemic. When Allen reached out to me, […]

It all started with Jennifer challenging herself to become fluent in French within a year for a trip to France with her fiancé. At the […]

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 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 […]

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 […]
