Shangri La Estate, Temecula, CA | Styled Wedding Photography
Last year I joined a photography group on Facebook whose purpose was to network and help photograph each other. Every few months we get together, mingle, and photograph one another so that some of us can portfolio build and others can get photos of themselves. Each event has brought more and more new faces to our little photography family. And last month the styled wedding photography session at Shangri La Estate in Temecula, CA brought more than ever before. Shangri La Estate is a fairly new, but GORGEOUS wedding...
Product Feature: Handmade Leather Albums
Today I wanted to share a little about my favorite handmade leather albums from KISS and how the album design process works for my clients. These are the albums included in my wedding collections and they are seriously beautiful. I chose these albums to offer as part of my collections because of their simple elegance and their outstanding quality. The first thing I do when creating an album is create a custom design of your wedding day story so that you have a basic framework to start from when...
Happy Anniversary | Amanda & Dustin
In March 2011 I received my first email from Amanda. She was a future bride who had been referred to my website by a friend of her fiancee. Amanda was looking for someone to photograph her wedding day. I replied to her email, crossed my fingers, said a prayer and waited to hear back. I was thrilled when she decided to meet me for coffee. Along with her, she brought her groom to be, Dustin, and his parents - All of whom I came to love. They are seriously...

Huntington Beach Wedding | Kamrin & Morgan
Last September I was so fortunate to be able to photograph Kamrin & Morgan's Huntington Beach wedding. I have known Kamrin since we were both very young and it was SUCH a privilege to photograph her through finishing high school to now starting this amazing new chapter of her life with her amazing new husband Morgan. Seriously, they are ridiculously cute together! We started off the morning in the Ayres Hotel in Seal Beach. I am SO in love with the drop dead gorgeous silk bouquet that Kamrin's aunt...
Laguna Hills Wedding | The Hills Hotel
The very first night Ben and Nadine met, they knew it was something special. Maybe they couldn't quite put their finger on it, but they knew. Time has only reinforced this feeling. They decided on a winter wedding last month, and Nadine, like any bride was nervous about what the weather would be like, but it turned out to be a gorgeous day. Not too hot, not too cold and plenty of sunshine. Not a cloud in the sky. They chose The Hills Hotel as the backdrop for their...
