Hannah and Andrew's San Clemente beach engagement was one of my absolute favorites of this year! The sun-kissed sands, the gentle ocean breeze, and the sound of waves crashing in the background all came together to create a breathtaking backdrop for their special day.

The newest and greatest luxury wedding venue, Mesa Bella, is nestled among the rollings hills and palm trees in California’s Orange County. I had the pleasure of partnering up with the talented Fetelle Designs team to create this stunning garden styled wedding.

Rebecca and Ryan’s luxury wedding held at the stunning Rancho Bernardo Inn. The enchanting backdrop of lush gardens, serene landscapes, and the warm San Diego sun created an unforgettable atmosphere for this momentous occasion.

Miranda and Anthony's Palm Springs engagement session was so charming and unique! The combination of craft cocktails, poolside lounging, a classic car, and Anthony's electric guitar made this shoot just so much fun! The 1960s neighborhoods and the retro vibe were a perfect match for their style.

I’ve been so excited to work with the talented Fawn Events team for quite some time, so I was absolutely thrilled when they reached out on behalf of Rosanna + Robert! The Ace Hotel is an iconic wedding spot in Palm Springs, I knew this was going to be a super rad day!

I drew inspiration for this engagement shoot from the iconic scene in the Notebook where Allie says “If you’re a bird, I’m a bird”. If you were a teenager in the early 2000s like me, you know how instrumental this movie was in our future romance daydreams. When I asked Nicole and Ryan how they wanted to feel when they look at these images, their answer was “We want to remember how blissful this engagement period is. I just want these pictures to be a snapshot in time - to convey how happy we are with each other and in this wonderful phase of our lives.

Their wedding took place at one of my all-time favorite venues, Franciscan Gardens in San Juan Capistrano. Across the street, they got ready in the sweetest little hotel. Then the couple met at the historic Mission for their first look (after the boys had a pitcher of beer at the local bar of course). Their best friends cheered them on after they shared their private vows, and everyone’s eyes were a little misty!

I was so excited for Kristen + Nick’s wedding day, these two are such kind and sweet souls! Ivory and Stone helped their design dreams come to life at Leo Carrillo Ranch. I love the earthy textures and clean modern lines that she chose! It complemented this historic ranch property so well.

Luxury wedding at the L’Auberge Del Mar. Stunning ocean views, high end details, and an intimate candle lit dinner created an unforgettable atmosphere.
