“Joshua Tree national park is definitely one of my top favorite national parks in the United States. It’s unlike any other place I’ve been to  - with huge rock formations, cactuses, and of course the iconic Joshua Trees, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. Especially at golden hour this is the perfect place for magical engagement photos.” 

“The wedding was the perfect mix of bohemian with rich, rust tones, tons of flowers and antique details. With an outdoor ceremony and the reception set up under twinkle lights next to the red barn it ended up being one of the best days ever!”

“The estate is nestled right next to some gorgeous desert mountains, it has a pool and a beautiful garden setting. But of course all the talented vendors really brought this whole styled shoot to life with the bright colored florals, intricate table settings, and balloon installs.”

“I was visiting Hawaii’s Big Island this past September for a wedding. I had two full weeks to explore, and I totally fell in love with the island and the fun, relaxed atmosphere. In addition to shooting a wedding and checking out the city of Kailua Kona, I planned an extra shoot at a Black Sands beach with Caleb + Cece.”

“Mich + Justin planned such a fun, memorable day. Not only did they opt to keep their wedding day small - with under 15 guests - they also made it very intentional. With an outdoor ceremony in the forest and a quiet dinner with family afterward.”

“The sunset was casting the most gorgeous colors and shadows over the mountains, creating blue, purple and pink streams of light all through the valley. It was SO stunning. We soaked in the stunning views and could see the whole valley that was lit by the setting sun, as well as the mountains and Yosemite waterfalls in the distance.”

“I always love meeting other photographers, and I’m so glad I had the chance to hang out with such a cool couple from the other side of the country. As the sun went down, we found some really beautiful tall grass with a view of Haystack Rock in the background.”

“The ceremony that followed took place outside. There were gorgeous white drapes creating pretty shadows over the ceremony space, and the arch had flowers naturally growing around it. It was so whimsical and beautiful. Annetta and Brandon read each other their own personal vows, it was so moving and emotional.”

“We started shooting at sunset to get that perfect, dreamy golden hour glow. The photographers were so chill and we spent the evening dancing and jamming to tunes while we took photos. Daniel and Roni were electric together, and the dress on Roni looked so perfect in the wild wind.”

“The Painted Hills are listed as one of the Seven Wonders of Oregon and it’s been on the top of my bucket list of places to visit for literally years. So, you can imagine how excited I was when Kaia + Joey wanted that as their engagement shoot location”

“Phil + Emily’s love for each other just shined throughout the whole day, I was seriously behind the camera squealing at how adorable they were together! (I do that a lot btw) and their smiles, aghh they have the sweetest smiles”

“I love that they were so spontaneous because afterwards they decided to take a dip in the hot tub + jump into the outdoor stone shower as the sun set behind the hills. We ended the night with hanging out by the fire, eating some BOMB tacos and talking till the stars came out.”

“OF COURSE, we had to end the day with some CELEBRATION! At dusk, they popped some champagne amongst the Joshua Trees, chugged the whole dang thing and smashed some delicious cake in each other’s faces under the starry desert sky.”

“Although it was pretty chilly the rolling hills of tall grass and the epic views of the ocean were absolutely STUNNING. My favorite part wasn’t even the gorgeous views, but the love they have for each other.”

“At the ceremony they wrote each other personal vows that seriously got me tearing up behind the camera, especially when they mentioned their love for late-night Taco Bell and McDonalds ice cream cones. I mean who wouldn’t tear up at that, AMIRITE?”

“Ended 2018 with my final shoot of the year with these two sweethearts, lots of laughs, hot chocolate, and one INSANE pillow fight.”
