Beshert.

It means destiny, meant to be, soulmates.

The gift of witnessing two people who are beshert, to study and capture with my lens, truly is a gift.

These two and their epic smiles, beaming the entire day. Their traditions and loved ones surrounding them, shepherding them into the next chapter of their lives. What a send-off.

Your wedding is about the moment.

There are a few moments throughout the day when I’ll pose you - giving you direction, helping you feel at ease, and creating space for beautiful portraits.

The rest is about capturing what is.

The photos follow the moment: the ones where you’re posed together, at ease and so in love, and the ones where you forget about the camera completely. I love both! Do you have a preference? Let me know below 👇

Moments with the bride and her circle of women.

Her sister, her mom, her soon-to-be mother- and sister-in-law, and the women who have shaped her throughout her life.

That’s what I find so sacred about this particular part of a wedding day. The five+ (let’s be real, women take time to get ready — and enjoy it) hours of hair and makeup, anticipatory lattes and a light lunch, the dress, earrings, and veil so carefully chosen.

All of it leading up to the epicenter of the day: the ceremony.

These moments hold such a particular and sacred energy. Lindsay, you are a radiant bride, and your kindness and elegance swept through every moment of the day.

More to come…

One thing I’ve become more and more passionate about? Meeting my couples at their venue before the wedding day (when possible).

Especially when I didn’t shoot their engagement session—it gives us a chance to connect in person, get a few test shots in, and for them to get comfortable in front of my camera before the big day. We get to walk the space together, map out where these sacred moments will unfold, and step into it all with so much more ease and intention.

And honestly… you never know what magic might happen. ;)

So excited to photograph J&L in just a few short weeks!

Sneak peeks from S&C’s Beverly Hills wedding. The sunshine, intimacy, and family and friends who traveled from across the globe to bless these two into their marriage were simply inspiring to witness.

What I often want to say is: I can’t put it into words, so here are the photos.

The sacredness of this love, this family, and this place was palpable. Can you feel it??

There was a theme that felt undeniable about this wedding—

a deep love of tradition, and a deep love of children.

The blessing of these two rabbis coming together to commit their lives to one another felt like a swelling of community. A quiet mantra of belonging—of sharing generational joy, of telling stories in songs pased down through lingeage.


Congratulations E&M!
