If it feels like this… you’re doing it right. Your engagement photos should feel like you 🤍

These two came to me through past clients, which will never not mean the world to me. Getting to photograph your people, your friends, your stories… that’s the biggest compliment.

And as a little thank you, if you’ve booked with me before, you’ll always get 20% off when you come back ✨

Alyssa + Colin

So much was captured. Everything from the big moments to the little in between moments. Choosing just a select few to highlight felt almost impossible! But from start to finish and everything in between is what made their day magical.

After a little winter break it’s soooo good to be back 😌✨

I couldn’t have felt more alive shooting my first engagement session of the year with these two lovely people. Less than 100 days till their wedding and counting it down with excitement.

Thank you for coming out and having all the fun and laughs while I documented you and Zachary’s love. You both are truly a match made in heaven.

Sessions like this are my favorite kind of reminder of that choosing a location isn’t just about scenery, it’s about creating a feeling. The wind, the light, the scale of it all… everything working together to turn real moments into something that feels cinematic and wildly personal. This isn’t about stiff poses or forced romance. It’s about movement, connection, laughter, and those quiet in between seconds you never realize are the ones you’ll treasure most.

And because I believe dream locations should feel exciting, not complicated, I don’t charge travel fees for epic places like this. So If you’ve been imagining warmer days and photos that feel like an experience rather than a checklist… you already know what to do ✨

Let me walk you through this beautiful wedding day.

This couple couldn’t have picked a more perfect place to celebrate and start this new chapter of their life. Every detail was thought out and executed to perfection and watching it come to life was both heart warming and magical. I’m so grateful to have been a part of this magical day and alongside all the wonderful vendors who played their part of bringing the vision to life ✨

I couldn’t let any more time pass without sharing Elizabeth and Matthew’s wedding day that unfolded like something out of a country love story.

Out on the ranch, they said their vows beneath open skies, and I stood back letting the quiet do the storytelling. When you give space for stillness, magic always shows up.

I always tell my couples their job is to be fully present in the moment and my job is to protect it. These two did just that. My approach is always simple. Step back, soften the noise, and make room for the real stuff. Because love doesn’t need constant staging just space to breathe.

I’m curious, what was the most memorable photo or moment from your wedding day? Let me know in the comments ✨🪩

The Sierra Valley has this quiet kind of beauty that sneaks up on you. Wide open skies, golden fields, and that soft evening light that makes everything feel calm.

We spent the evening exploring Zane’s family’s ranch, the place where stories are rooted deep in the soil. No rush, no big production just the two of them, taking it all in.
The way he looked at her, the way she laughed it all just fit here.

Engagement sessions like this remind me why I love what I do honest moments, beautiful light, and love that feels like home.

T minus 10 days till these two say I Do 🥹 Two souls weaving through the same wild earth learning, laughing, growing roots deeper with every season. Love isn’t loud it’s steady and soft in all the in between moments. These are the stories I live to document. The quiet, unposed, real ones that feel like you.

My 2026 wedding calendar is poppin off. 2025 dates are nearly wrapped, and I’m now booking for next year’s love stories. If your hearts are calling for something real and artfully told, let’s make it happen! Follow the link in my bio to get in touch ❤️

These two were such a joy to celebrate and I couldn’t be happier for them! I think I have narrowed down their 600 photo gallery to beautifully show their day from start to finish. What a phenomenal day and couple.
