Mesmerized by the way two people love each other, each so uniquely. I always leave room for dessert. Believe swear words are just sentence embellishers. Think indulgences are necessary in this life.

Planning Tips

Just my little thoughts on different topics of planning your wedding day big party or just you two.

Stories of two lovers making it all about them, as they should.

I can’t come up with any better way to end an amazing wedding season than photographing Amber & David’s wedding at the Oceano Hotel & Spa in Half Moon Bay, California. I’ve known Amber and most of the bridesmaids since I was 13 years old. Their day felt like a big reunion with childhood friends. And although we’re all 30 now…. none of us have really changed 😉

These two picked such a beautiful place to get married. First of all I’ve always thought Cali has the most perfect dreamy light but mix it with an incredible venue, location, and kickass couple and it’s a wedding photographer’s dream weekend. This was really a dream, I swear. From trails off the beach to cliffs overlooking the ocean and then sunset on the beach…. What on earth! I knew it was going to be good as I visited the location with Amber this spring when I flew out to photograph their engagement photos but, I didn’t expect it to be as incredible as it was.

It was a privilege to just witness these two committing to each other in front of their friends and family members from all over the world but even more so to witness their love in subtle ways. From the way she adoringly looks at him to the way he holds her hand ever so gently.

I am so so so excited to share all of these photos. They’re stunning. I was having a hard time focusing on just editing these few as I wanted to jump around editing them in a crazy order! I was just so excited! They are so beautiful!

Amber and David, thank you. Thank you so much for including us in your best day ever. It was an honor. And SO much fun getting to see and connect with all of our friends again. It’s clear how much you are loved, which in turn must show how much you two love those around you!

Enjoy the heck out of your European honeymoon!!!!

XOXO!
