Libby & Eric! We laughed! We drank champagne! Time flew by with these two during their engagement session. I love when I feel so aligned with my couples. People who value being authentic, are super in love, and are down to have FUN!

They wanted wildflowers and a field, which can be hard to find in San Diego but I found it!!

2027 is booking up - are you on my calendar yet?

10 frames of Tiffany & Leah being hot and happy on their wedding day. LOTS more to share from their day so here are some fave portraits and cute moments of them two :)

This was wedding 1 of a 3-wedding weekend I drove up and down the coast for! Starting off with these two and their wedding in Carmel at .carmel was such a great temp check for the rest of the weekend. Shot on a mix of digital and film of course!

Jess & Jason’s wedding day was such a TREAT to document. From the moment they booked, I knew I would love their wedding. Stoked they chose to trust me to document their day :)

They had the ceremony at Jess’s uncles house, a place filled with good memories that resonated with J&J and somewhere that just made sense to say “I Do!”.

The reception was at their favorite Oakland restaurant . Good food, great hospitality, and the perfect spot to dance the night away.

Amelia & Chris wanted their wedding reception to feel like a big family dinner. Hosted at .valentina, they got all their friends and family together to celebrate! This was a fun night :)

I loved that A&C did what they wanted for their wedding. They tied the knot at the courthouse with immediate family, and celebrated with more loved ones a week later! The best thing about weddings is you can do whatever you so choose. Just have me there to document it!

Bryn & Socrates took the train down to San Diego from LA for their engagement session and we walked around downtown for a few hours chatting and snapping photos. So fun to explore my city and check out corners I usually don’t go to!

Super fun to meet these two and get comfortable with each other before the wedding! Just a few more months until the big day :)

Mostly film and a sprinkle of digital from Sarah & Robbie’s courthouse wedding day! We started off with their ceremony at the San Diego courthouse - such a cute spot and they are SO nice there. I shoot at the San Diego courthouse often and it’s always a good time! Then we went to Balboa Park to snap some photos before heading to The Lafayette Hotel - maximalist heaven for anyone who likes cool decor. Taking wedding photos at The Lafayette is always the move if you’re someone who appreciates funky design, bold colors, and patterns galore. These two wanted documentary style wedding photos with an editorial touch, so that’s just what they got!
