This gorgeous estate wedding at Green Gables in San Diego, California turned out so wonderfully! It was the perfect amount of elegance with just a dash of rustic, and you can’t go wrong with that wedding theme recipe. Fun fact about the bride and groom: they have actually been long distance on opposite sides of the country up until their wedding day! They are the literal definition of “if it’s meant to be, it’ll be.”
Read MoreTucked away in the woods of Janes Island State Park in Crisfield, Maryland, Brooke, Sam, and their closest friends and family stayed for the weekend to make the wedding an entire weekend-long celebration. Crab picking, oyster shucking, skiff riding, trail hiking, bonfires, and dancing under string lights with mullet wigs was pretty much the agenda for the weekend and I can’t think of a more rad way to start a marriage.

These two met years ago, but the timing just didn’t line up for them to date just yet. But staying in touch over the years brought them to this day, their wedding day. Crazy how what’s meant to be will be, huh?
Read MoreKrysta and Adam reached out to me to shoot their San Diego wedding, pre-COVID days when the world was a simpler place. Like many couples, they had to re-think their initial plans to have a big wedding in 2020. They knew they still wanted to get married on their original wedding date, but switched up their plans to elope in San Diego instead. They decided on a more intimate celebration with just a few family members surrounding them, and to save the big party for later.
Read MoreHave you ever seen a wedding reception and baby gender reveal party in one? Jess and Trevor, like many couples, eloped with just the two of them back in 2020. Now that family and friends are able to come together safely again, the two were able to have the intimate wedding reception they always dreamed of, with all the people closest to them in attendance.
Read MoreThis Sunset Cliffs family session was so special. Rather than “family sessions”, really, I prefer to call shoots like this a “day in the life” session. These photoshoots highlight more of what a family is like when they are all together, and all the sweet relationships and fun personality quirks within the family. I love how day in the life photos showcase a family in (or close to) their natural element. These sessions allow them to focus on just enjoying each other’s company, rather than looking perfect and posed. The result is more authentic captures!
