“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 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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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.”

“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.”

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