It is always a treasure to shoot a local wedding in my hometown of Nevada City, but my absolute favorite wedding venue to photograph is the Miners Foundry, with all it’s vintage charm.

Here are a few moments from Elyna & Chris’s intimate, evening wedding. Featuring lush portraits behind the venue, Persian love cake, candlelight toasts & the sweetest first dance.

Daniel & Johan are the sweetest, classiest lovebirds imaginable - and their wedding was the perfect blend of sincere, heartfelt celebration & outrageous dance floor flair.

Looking forward to sharing more from their stunning, mid-summer wedding… but for starters, here is a sample collection of pre-wedding portraits of a very special couple 🤍

After a long, transformational year of much change, I am diving back in to what I love most: documenting important moments for folks who love each other ⁠⁠
It’s that simple. Love driving love. ⁠
Giving way to the most magical year of creation yet. And to begin, I just welcomed the sweetest birth story client with a 2/22/22 due date. No coincidences ✨
