When Lauren and Jason first contacted me about photographing their wedding, they had originally planned to do a destination wedding in Kauai. They had a tentative plan but after talking through it, they decided to keep it close to home (quite literally!) to make sure all of their loved ones could attend. Lauren envisioned a full on boho wedding and, boy, did she nail it with every single detail. Shannon, the creative genius behind the styling and decor, brought Lauren’s vision to life perfectly.

It was so incredible to photograph their big day and meet all of their favorite people. I’ve always said that my kinda brides are the ones that can go with the flow and take whatever is thrown their way with grace, and Lauren did just that. I couldn’t have asked for a sweeter couple. Lauren and Jason, you two deserve THE WORLD and I am so dang happy for you. Sending you my love!

Amber and Camden’s big day felt like a giant party with all of their best friends that just happened to include them getting married. If you know them personally, you also know that you can’t help but have a goooood time right alongside them. I instantly knew when I met with Amber that we were going to jive (I don’t think I’ve ever said that word before?) and was so excited once the wedding day finally came.

I talk a lot about finding a good getting ready space for brides – preferably one that has really good natural light: think big windows. Amber was able to find the perfect Airbnb to rent for getting ready just a few floors up above her wedding venue, so it was really efficient to have everything all in one place. Then, when it was go-time, she was already on site!

The day truly went off without a hitch and the night ended with some Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls. Like I said, my kind of people. <3

Kelly and Florian contacted me all the way from Belgium back in March about photographing their elopement in Redwood National Park. They were planning on spending two weeks in California and wanted to start their trip off in Northern California by tying the knot. I immediately felt like we were long friends and was so excited to capture their special day.

We started by exploring around Patrick’s Point, then headed over to Redwood National Park to stand under the Redwood Giants while they exchanged vows. We finished the day frolicking amongst the ferns and it was pretty darn magical. <3

Natalie and Rob’s wedding was extremely special to me. I had photographed Natalie’s twin sister’s wedding a year and a half ago and had felt a special connection with her family. So, when Natalie met with me after she was engaged, we got right into planning mode for her engagement session and got her date on the books.

On the wedding day, I pulled up to their venue, the Grand Reserve Inn, and felt immediately transported into an italian countryside. The venue is set back quite away from the road and is completely surrounded by vineyards on sloping hills. Natalie’s vision for the day paired with her event planner’s eye (Shannon of Tin and Twine Events) and ability to tie it all together made for one magical wedding day.
