I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again (and again) – it is so much fun to be able to photograph weddings and couples because it allows me to reconnect with old friends from the past in ways that I probably would not have been able to do otherwise. Maryal and I have known one another since high school (doing the school musical together!) and I probably would not have reconnected with her again had she not reached out to me to photograph her wedding which will be taking place next year in Northern California. And I am so thrilled to be a part of it! These two are so adorable, and I loved being able to run around in my old stomping grounds for their engagement session. :) One thing I definitely don’t miss about Sacramento though – the mosquitos! I still have scars from this session! Crazy mosquitos. But, it was all worth it for these beautiful images. <3
Also, one of the best parts was Maryal’s response after getting her engagement proofs:
Hehe, such responses make me so happy. <3
gorgeous couple + gorgeous location + plaid + pom poms = <3

My dear friend Emily is getting married this year and I am so thrilled that she asked me to photograph her wedding because not only will it be AMAZING (for reals), but she is also a wonderfully talented photographer & often my partner in crime at weddings. And it always an honor to photograph fellow photographers!
Everything about this shoot was magic though. And sexiness (are you KIDDING me with that first image?!) And fun (love the pom poms!) AND, FILM! As I shoot more and more film at weddings & shoots, I love it more and more. A good number of these images are film and I couldn’t be happier. :)
amazing, amazing, amazing people + style galore + a day filled with exploration and fun = <3

I heart these two like no other. Jasmine & Scott are two friends of mine that I cherish dearly, and love them to bits. (Jasmine is the lovely lady who often photographs my Facebook & Twitter profile images, and is a fantastic graphic designer & photographer herself.)
Since they were already technically married, we decided to make it more of a couples/lifestyle session, than a regular engagement session. I spent most of the day with these two, going to their favorite locations in the little area they live, Normal Heights. We walked around the neighborhood and went to furniture shops, popsicle shops, food spots, and best of all, their home.
There is definitely something to be said about shooting in a location that means something to the couple.
Their wedding, which was this past month, proved to be fantastic and quite possibly the best weddings I’ve ever been to. Filled with joy, love, and most of all – wonderful human spirits. I’ve fallen in love with just people again thanks to all the wonderful souls that were there.
