How lucky they were to find each other and fall in love. To be married in the desert spring. To dance under their first sunset as husband and wife. And how lucky am I to have been asked to capture their day. Congratulations J & D on an amazing wedding. Venue: Hideaway Golf Club Planning:…
I have what may sound like a funny question for you. What do you see when you look at photographs? A bride or groom, a beautiful location, a moment frozen in time. Yes, and there’s potentially so much more. When I look at a photograph I try to see things that may not be in…
From the moment you wake up to the last song played, your wedding day will play out in ways you expected and in ways you didn’t expect. I’m sure this comes as no surprise. But what I’d like to share is my perspective on the importance of embracing these unexpected moments. In many ways the…
Something I immediately noticed when we began this session is the way Serena falls into Ollie’s arms. I’m all about a good metaphor…and this, to me, represents trust.

This day was originally planned for early April. COVID changed all those plans but these two persevered and despite the challenges they faced they created a beautiful setting for a small group of close friends and family. Toward the end of the evening we were chatting about everything we’ve all been through these past few…
One thing I love…hanging out with smart, thoughtful people like Morgan and Bryan. Estancia was the runner up in their venue search so we met up to take images around their stellar grounds and we then headed to the beach for some quintessential Southern California beach time for sunset. Doesn’t get any better than this….
