Rachel and Johnny are good, honest, down-to-earth people. Their love is true, their relationship is genuine, and it shows through in their photos. The rustic setting at Garland Ranch in Carmel Valley, Ca, was the perfect backdrop for them. And it is where he proposed! Their wedding is next month, and I can’t wait to photograph it!

A stunning couple in a gorgeous location… what more can I say?? Jenna and Jeff were fantastic on this shoot. They were great sports as we traipsed through the trails of Point Lobos State Reserve.
Thank you for taking a look! Shoot me an email to book your session. I would love to hear from you.
Andrew and Whitney’s wedding took place atop a sand dune overlooking the breathtaking Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, California. And let me tell you, I LOVED photographing this wedding. This couple is so in love, in the way that only best friends can be. They showed their personality in all the little details; from the handmade boutonnieres made by the bride (out of maps!) to the bridesmaids in their coordinating Toms. The intimate size of this wedding made for great memories, and each attendee was gifted a mexican falsa blanket to keep warm! I hope you enjoy these photos from a very special day.

I collaborated with the most incredibly talented women on this shoot. This team was on fire! It had been awhile since I had photographed something that was my own vision, and I definitely encountered some bumps along my creative process. This group of images may have started in my mind, but they grew into more than I could have ever imagined all on my own. Enjoy.
As I came to the part in my workflow where I import the images into Photoshop for editing, I stopped myself. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with these pictures! I did some color correcting and dodging and burning in Lightroom, but I simply couldn’t bring myself to use a clone or liquify tool on these images. Amanda is absolutely gorgeous just the way she is. And there are enough overly-retouched photos out there. Let’s keep it real. Girl power.
Huge Thank You to all of the ladies who worked on this shoot.

And here’s a little selfie-timer action just to wrap it all up…
Sara and Brian have a love big enough to span across the entire country – Literally! Sara has West Coast roots, while Brian grew up on the East Coast. They met in Boston, and now live there together. It was only fitting that they got married at a house in Sara’s hometown, with Bostonian history. What a perfect and symbolic backdrop to celebrate two lives becoming one.
