the latest & greatest

Working with Vanessa is pure magic! I’ve never been fond of being in front of the camera, but her warm, fun, and professional approach creates an environment where you can truly be yourself. Vanessa understood our vision perfectly and elevated it beyond our expectations. She beautifully captured our love through her lens, and we couldn’t be happier with sharing these special moments with her!

Located on the Delta, outside of Sacramento, sits the Grand Island Mansion. A unique look all its own, this stunning California venue is breathtaking every time I’m honored to photograph a wedding on its pristine grounds. Keriann and Bobby had a vision all their own and the Grand Island Mansion was the perfect venue to bring it to life.

West Shore Lake Tahoe Couple

While I don’t think many would disagree that weddings in 2020 have looked a little different than past years, the love between many of the couples that have endured through it all has been unmatched. And Madi and John Michael are no exception.

After returning to the drawing board countless times, these two were intent on making their wedding day happen, no matter how big or small. And let me tell you, they ROCKED it. Thanks to the help, flexibility and expertise of the vendors involved (special shout out to Courtney Lawhon Events!), they were able to celebrate with their favorite people.

And, boy, it was dreamy.
