The amazing wedding took place at Frank Sinatra's old mansion in Woodland Hills, which had everything from Corona vending machines to secret passage ways. Take a look at this small preview from their big day.

I met Tracy & Paul earlier this year and instantly knew that they were my kind of couple. They have absolutely no problem showing emotion, which made photographing them at their wedding *that* much easier.

Read moreTais + Alex {Wedding} | Estancia Hotel | La Jolla
You know those incredibly small weddings with an insane amount of emotion, energy, and beauty? This was one of them. Although Tais & Alex were already legally married a few months prior, they really wanted to have a small reception with their family and friends to celebrate (and of course some epic portraits in La Jolla too!). After our portrait session, we made our way to the Estancia Hotel where everyone danced their butt off and celebrated this awesome couple's marriage like there was no tomorrow. Check out a small preview of their lovely reception & portrait session.
Read moreLien + Jon {Wedding} | Angelus Mountain Center | Los Angeles
After photographing Lien & Jon's epic two day engagement session (which can be found here), I knew their wedding would be just as fun. Lien is extremely creative and thrifty, so she took the time to not only hand-make every single decoration, but she also designed her own wedding dress too! This stylish and fun DIY wedding took place at a lovely mountain center in Altadena, CA. With deer running around the grounds, a hot sun above our heads, and a wild wedding party, this wedding was a blast to attend and photograph. Check out a few images from throughout the day.
Read moreKim + Brian {Wedding} | Italian American Cultural Center | Detroit, Michigan
I've known Kim & Brian for almost five years -- so of course I was not only incredibly happy for them when they got engaged, but I was thrilled to be their wedding photographer. The gorgeous church was located deep in downtown Detroit, so the bridal party decided to take their own personal trolley to get around quicker. This wedding was incredibly refreshing -- with the bridal prep, ceremony, and reception locations all being in different cities, there were plenty of stops in between to get some amazing portraits in different iconic locations. Here's a small preview of their huge and eventful day.
Read moreNatasha + Steve {Wedding} | Green Gables Estate | San Diego
I photographed Natasha & Steve's engagement session (which can be seen here) a couple of month's ago and instantaneously fell in love with them. Natasha has an awesome style and loves photography, while Steve's from Ohio, and because I love photography & am from the Midwest as well, we naturally got along great. I couldn't have asked for a more gorgeous venue, as anything and everything was photogenic at all times of day. To top it off, the couple gave me full creative freedom to do what I want, so I was practically in heaven. Here's an epic preview of their gorgeous vintage wedding at the Green Gables Estate in San Marcos!
Read moreMariangela + Robbie {Wedding} | Del Mar Powerhouse | San Diego
I met Mariangela and Robbie through a mutual friend earlier this year and knew they would be a blast to photograph due to their amazing chemistry. After these two got warmed up to being in front of the camera, they rocked every portrait -- and it sure does show. A little back-story about this awesome couple: Mariangela is from Italy, so she of course has a big, close family. A few minutes spent talking with her and it's easy to realize how sweet and caring she really is. Robbie, although he appears as your typical Californian surfer, is an extremely driven entrepreneur that has created and owned all sorts of companies since his early 20s -- including a wedding photography studio. Their wedding, although sporting around 60 guests, was intimate in its own way due to the closeness of each and every guest, family member, and friend. Be sure to check out this small preview of their gorgeous summer wedding in Del Mar! :)

First off, what a fantastic wedding! After photographing Nicole & Tales' lovely engagement session in May (that can be viewed here), I knew their wedding would be a blast. We started off the day at the South Mesa Lodge Hotel and made our way to the Marine Memorial Golf Course in Camp Pendleton, where the ceremony and reception were held. And the best part? The lush, green golf course made everything photogenic! Here is a small preview of their sunny summer wedding.
Read moreKristin + Chris {Wedding} | Carlsbad Seapointe Resort | San Diego
I absolutely loved this elegant wedding set in downtown Carlsbad at the Carlsbad Seapointe Resort. Kristin & Chris were naturals in front of the camera, so of course these photos came out stunning! The gorgeous outdoor reception took place at Pelican Point in Carlsbad, which was right across the street from the venue, so it gave us extra time for some awesome beach photos at sunset. Here are a few images from their spectacular wedding!
Read moreMarguerite + Nick {Wedding} | Balboa Park | San Diego
All I have to say is.. this wedding was a blast! We started off at The Lafayette Hotel in San Diego where the gorgeous bride, Marguerite, was getting ready. Immeadiately after, we headed down to the Spruce Street Suspension Bridge, where Marguerite & Nick decided to have their first look. After getting some fantastic portraits, we went to Balboa Park for their beautiful ceremony. We then headed to the San Diego Women's Club for their perfectly decorated reception. All I can say is, Marguerite & Nick were so so so fun to work with. Here are a selected handful of photos from their big day.
Read moreNaima + Alessandro {Wedding Reception} | 5226 Elm | Houston, Texas
I was referred to Naima & Alessandro by a local photographer out of Austin, Texas, and decided that it would be an absolute blast to photograph their reception. The entire day was storming terribly, so we shot most of the photographs indoors and got a few in the courtyard of 5226 Elm. We then went to another home for an after party.
Enjoy!
