T + O got married overlooking the ocean at L’Auberge Del Mar on the most beautiful sunny Saturday and it was perfect.

We went to the beach directly after ceremony to do some photos of the two of them and I wish I could have recorded them talking and the joy and excitement, I just remember Tracy saying, ‘I am having so much fun, this is so much fun!!!’ And them just enjoying being in the beach and being down to run around in their wedding clothing and get a little sandy. I would say it was worth it!! Forever in love with this day and so excited to share the photos!

Running around in the rain but make it chic is pretty easy with a city like San Francisco! A museum, a bar and a beach with a view?! I had so much fun with this engagement session. Sometimes it is just about embracing the rain.

T + O got married this weekend and I never even posted their engagement photos so we are posting them now!!!! These two are just the most fun!!!! From shooting a family members wedding, to their engagement and now their wedding we have really come full circle. These two and all the love ones attending the wedding were just good humans and I am so lucky for the coolest and kindest clients out here!! Can’t wait to share the wedding soon!!!

They say rain is good luck on your wedding day.. but do you know why? Well the saying is because a wet knot is harder to untie. Now you know!!

C + S got married in San Francisco and their ceremony was supposed to be outdoors but the craziest sideways rain was happening on and off ALL DAY so it was moved inside the chapel. However just as we were going to do their first look and family portraits the rain stopped and we were able to do their first look and family photos at their ceremony site which was so special since that is where they had originally pictured their ceremony photos!

While the rain changed the plans, it didn’t ruin C + S spirits or any of their guests. If anything it made the reception more cozy and people wanted to get on that dance floor all night long!!!

And then again to make it just a bit more magical right after dinner the rain stopped and we were able to run out for a few final shots with the Golden Gate Bridge. All I can say is, embrace the rain, embrace the day of changes and just enjoy the day. You are getting married to your person and that’s all that really matters.

Chic Greystone Mansion engagment seesion meets fun and playful nostalgic beach engagement. All shot in one session. So you don’t have to choose one vibe but can do both, something you can’t always do on your wedding day!!!

I’m always going to encourage you to do an engagement session. It’s worth it just to get comfortable with the camera!! And I’ll help you find some cool locations, I promise!

Guess what? Jake is the best second photographer around and is shooting all my weddings with me from this point forward!! We have been shooting weddings together for over ten years and he is truly the best!!

There is no competition the best city hall in California is hands down San Francisco City Hall. The building is just so gorgeous with great lighting and so many fun different locations. And don’t get me started on how much I love shooting in San Francisco in general. A city girl + photographers dream. Everytime I visit for work or fun I find new little pockets of the city I want to shoot in.

Here is Alice and Logan that eloped at city hall and then we ran around the city for photos. It was an absolutely gorgeous day in the city and these two were just a blast to photograph! And you know I’m a sucker for a vintage car and this was one of their dad’s pride and joy!!!

This wedding was one for the books and I am finally getting around to sharing more than just the previews from last year! Jen and Thomas are just the sweetest, coolest people around and their wedding day was a true view into their equally as cool and kind loved ones they have in their circle. I pulled almost 200 photos to make this Instagram post so don’t worry, more to come!! For now enjoy the first full post from their day - I also just blogged their wedding so head to my website for a full proper overview!!

Wedding season is here and as I dive into editing previews and starting the culling and organization process for my full wedding galleries and engagement sessions I can’t help but look back at 2025 weddings to get me excited for everything that is happening in 2026.

Alexis and Walker had an absolutely stunning wedding at The ceremony site and arbor with florals done by were absolutely STUNNING and I am fully obsessed. They just enjoyed the whole day and stayed on the dance floor all night until they drove off in a vintage car, shout out !! Congrats again to Alexis and Walker, your day was beautiful and stunning and full of love and happiness for you 💕

I love this job so much. Thanks for being here!!

Beverly Hills City Hall elopements over the years. Still after shooting here over and over I am still discovering new places and ways to shoot here, and that’s the way it should be. I love my city hall couples so much!!!

Just remember you can always do your wedding, your way!! Which might be a big party and maybe is just the two of you (and me) at city hall.

Testing out some new film cameras + all film session offerings. I think it went pretty well. Would you want a film only session?
